Discount Auto Insurance - Can My Profession Help?

If you can identify the right insurance companies, you can get discount auto insurance because of the profession you belong to. If you choose not to identify such insurers you are simply losing money on car insurance. Since no one in their right mind would want to do that, I can guess that's not what you want.

For certain reasons, your profession can attract discounts in auto insurance. I'll try to make this clearer with the engineering profession. There are certain things that anyone can be almost certain an engineer will always take care of in his/her car. Those things have a way of increasing their road safety records and that means lower insurance risk. This translates to lower auto insurance premiums for engineers by some insurance companies. Here are some of those qualities...

You can trust that due to their training, they'll notice a fault long before most thus reducing fatalities due to faults. They'll also know better to fix them on the spot or take the best precautions.

As they are very technical in their orientation, you can trust that they will be interested in the technical specification of a car. This knowledge will further make them aware of the limitations of their car and thus make them prepare better for eventualities. If a car make or model is prone to certain problems, you can be sure this group will know about it.

However, if you have a bad driving record, even if you are an engineer, such insurance companies will not give you discount auto insurance because you have defeated their reason for it in the first place.

Teachers also enjoy discount auto insurance. Like in the case of engineers, it is also based on what they've come to associate the group with. Teachers are seen by such insurance companies as very stable.

Teachers know that they are being watched as models by the society. They know that they're watched closely if they are really worthy of building our children's values. Added to this is the fact that the kids too are watching them. The mere knowledge that you are so closely marked will make you do your best to earn their trust and that will surely affect your driving. Fewer accidents will also be one of the results.

You can also come upon several companies that have a particular professional group as its prime target. Insurance companies that target the military are such examples.

There's no need to despair if your profession wasn't mentioned in this short article. You can still get discount auto insurance. It is really very difficult if not impossible to give each profession a mention. It only means that the task of finding out such companies lies squarely on your shoulders.

This need shows the great importance of car insurance quotes sites. They make the task of getting different quotes from insurance companies a lot easy. Your part is just to complete the form each requires and you'll be given a quote. There are other pieces of information advanced users can get from these sites. However, that's an issue for another article.

The more quotes you get, the more likely you'll get the best discounts in auto insurance for your profile. Discount auto insurance is possible and, in fact easy, if you'll take the time out to visit at least three insurance quotes sites and obtain auto insurance quotes.

Here are my favorite car insurance quotes sites...

Can Car Insurance Be Affected By Your Bad Credit History?

If you have bad credit you can be denied car insurance! The protections afforded to the consumer since the Depression of 1929 no longer exist. The Financial Laws passed through Congress in 1992 allowed banks, insurance companies, investment firms to handle banking, insurance and investment operations. Laws passed after 1929 had prevented banks from insurance and direct stock exchange trading, likewise insurance companies could not pursue banking operations or stock exchange nor could stock exchange companies pursue insurance or banking operations.

This freedom was granted without the subsequent protections of the consumer included in these new laws. There currently exists no single body of consumer law covering the privacy of consumers. The private citizen must fight the triumvirate of bank,insurance and stock exchange through the court system for his own right to privacy.

Some states have allowed the use of individual credit to be a determining factor in the issuance of car insurance. However, two such states, Texas and Michigan have institutionalized state agencies to meticulously govern and manage those insurance bodies. These states have a socialized automobile security plan where individuals having bad credit or low income jobs can obtain economical coverage or liability car insurance.

True, each has rather strict guidelines by which a motorist can qualify for low cost insurance. However, this is a two edged sword! The performance characteristics of every insurance agency and company are meticulously maintained. These involve the speed with which legitimate claims are processed by the insurance company, customer satisfaction (both client and claimant), conformity to state and federal laws. A performance index is issued for each firm and their respective insurance costs are compared with both a state and federal cost per coverage. The state has created its own actuarial data base to evaluate insurance coverage. The motorist can freely view these to determine the best coverage for his situation. The consumer is given power that the insurance vendor can appreciate and respect.

This fact may give some satisfaction to the average motorist but some of us still want to know how good or bad credit make a motorist a good risk or a bad one. Perhaps it is an honesty issue! If I have good credit then I will always obey the rules of the road and none of life's bad things will touch me. Does good credit mean that you can avoid being hit by a drunken driver, avoid having your car pushed off the highway into the nearby lake or have hail storms miss you? I can understand where the honesty of making constant insurance payments would be reflected in your credit but how does it establish insurance rates?

Reviewing the Report to the 79th State of Texas Legislature, 2004 I discovered that insurance was not denied because of a bad credit score but that it could be a higher premium because of poor credit. Statistics showed that people in the 30 year age group has the worst credit and the greatest vehicle damages reported. My conclusion would not be that bad credit makes you careless. Rather my summation is that youth and proneness to erratic behavior was the cause. The point here is that there is no direct causal relationship but at the strongest an inferential connection.
