Shopping for auto insurance? Looking for the best auto insurance companies with the best rates? Here’s how to find them.
Finding the Best Auto Insurance Companies
Finding an auto insurance company that will be there when you need them and will pay your claims on time is an important consideration when it comes to buying auto insurance.
A company’s financial strength is a good indicator of their ability to pay claims, and there are two websites where you can go to check out their financial status:
Standard and Poors (standardandpoors.com) – This website provides profiles and financial strength ratings of more than 4,000 companies.
A. M. Best (ambest.com/ratings) – This website provides financial ratings and reports on the overall condition of insurance companies.
These websites are great if you want to know how solvent a company is and how credit worthy they are, but if you want the inside scoop on how well they pay their claims and how good their customer service is, I recommend going to the following websites:
Epinions (epinions.com)- This website provides ratings and reviews of various companies by their customers. Reviews range from, “Great agents all over the country.” to “Buyer beware! Company is a fraud candidate for misrepresentation of their clients.” If you want to find out how customers have been treated and what their claims experience has been, this is the place to go.
Your state’s department of insurance website – Most state insurance departments maintain websites that have a consumer complaint department where you can find out how many claims have been filed against a particular company. If your state doesn’t provide this information, you can go to California’s website – www.insurance.ca.gov – to get it. Just click on “Consumers,” then “Studies and Reports,” then “Consumer Complaint Study” to see the complaints filed against a particular company.

Comparing quotes from different companies is the only way to know if you’re getting the best auto insurance rate.

Help answer the question about auto insurance
How can I get my auto insurance to pay for medical treatment two years after accident?I was treated right after the accident for whiplash. It's in my medical records but then was unable to go to treatment for some time because of other problems but injury got worse now the chiropractor won't work on me because he says the insurance company won't usually pay after this time loss. Also the auto insurance company won't preauthorize treatment and I can't afford the $30 a visit co-pay required for using my health insurance. I'm on Social Security.

There's a pretty good book out there about marketing (in general) titled "Guerilla Marketing" by Jay Conrad Levinson or How to Drive Your Competition Crazy by Guy Kawasaki.
Both are pretty good and give you some pretty good ideas.
Call 1-800-WEINSURE. Ask for Patrick or Dick and tell them you want to check on their program. Pretty slick and it WILL make your phone ring.
Next – network. Join the Chamber, get out and about and everyone gets a business card.
Try your local "want ad papers" like Thrifty Nickel or whatever. Run some ads in "the readers" – not display ads. CHEAP CAR INSURANCE and your phone number.
Join your agent association in your area – either PIA or Big I and go to conventions or insurance Expos. Even go to events in other States. I have been going to the Insurance Expo in Atlanta for the past 10-12 years and ALWAYS come back with SOMETHING!
Give everyone of your customers several of your cards. Write THEIR name on the back and have them give them to their friends and have their friends come to your office for for quotes. When they come in with the card, put the card in a box and every quarter, give away a color TV or something nice. Take pictures of you giving the winner the remote control, hang the picture somewhere prominent and do the same thing over again.
I could go on and on – so, email me direct and I can do what I can to give yo usome more pointers.
I've been with Amica for years. Not a household name, but a very solid company.
I can offer several opinions here and I hope my answer doesnt offend. I have worked with cars in some way almost all my life. I am now a claims adjuster, and can tell you based on the description of the impact you gave me, I have never of a vehicle suffering from the problems you are having to be related to that type of impact. If you had rear ended someone at high speed enough to crush the front end of your vehicle causing damages to the engine, and electrical components I could see it. But I doubt any shop out there could some how link the problems to the accident.
Right now in regards to your next step there are two senarios. If you used a shop the insurance company rec. and is part of there program, an insurance company will guar the work the shop did. If you feel these problems are related to the accident start with the adjuster and the shop to attempt to resolve the problem. They should be willing to help since you used one of their shops.
If however you used your own shop and is not part of the insurance companies preffered shop program, you are own your own with the repairs done by the shop. The insurance company cannot guar their work.
Good luck
I realize that she IS your daughter and want to help her – but it is HER responsibility and can't legally be tied back to you.
Your best bet would be to tell the insurance company that you want to settle, but, it will take you a bit of time to gather the money. Then go to court and see what happens. If they exonerate your daughter, you may have a better bargaining chip.
Not to be taken as LEGAL advice but that's what I would do if it were me.
Good luck and I hope this helps!
Congratulations,, if you have a license to sell those four types of insurance, you've put in a lot of time preparing for the exams. I'm a little supprised that "prospecting" wasn't included in your course of studies. anyway;
for homeowner ins, leave your business card with real estate agents ,mortgage lenders, building contractors, property surveyors, home rental agencies, and the local Chamber of Commerce. Remember also to keep an eye out for signs of property for sale by owner, they may be buying as well as selling.
life insurance prospecting = real estate brokers and mortgage lenders again. new home owners need more life ins. Marriage records and local birth records,, (from the courthouse) best time to buy life ins is at birth, rates are at their lowest, and guarantees future insurability, and no groom wants to leave his bride exposed to financial ruin. New college grads,, when they enter the real world of reality.
Auto insurance = leave your business card with dealers, banks, body shops and parts stores.
That was the most confusing, rambling post I've seen in a very long time. I cannot address the specific issues in your post (I don't think anyone can besides a therapist), however if you are interested in reporting insurance fraud please see the link below.
It depends on a lot of factors–your age, your city, where the car is kept, your driving record.
You could just get a basic liability policy with no collision coverage; however, I don't think your loan would allow that.
Car loan–they want your business so offer you a low monthly rate.
Car insurance–you have to have it, so they can charge whatever they want.
I bet once the lawyer found out no bodily injury or uninsured motorist, does not want to take the case, since he knows will get nothing. In FL, BI and UM are not required and once lawyers find out you have none, they immediately get out of the case, since only PD and PIP is required only in FL.
Have YOUR insurance company take care of your damages and eat the $500 deductible. YOUR insurance company at that point will have a "vested interest" in collecting your $500 deductible plus the $2,500 more they will pay to fix your car. YOUR insurance company will go after this guy, the owner of the vehicle to get back their money, and so will the other 2 insurance companies that were involved in this accident.
Don't waste $400 filing small claims suit, since if no license, insurance, most likely no assets. Yes you will win, but you CANT COLLECT NOTHING FROM NOTHING. So you win a judgment period but you may never get paid.
If your insurance company decides to sue, let they pay to file a suit. And guess what they will do it for you and you will not pay a dime. Believe me your insurance company will find out if this person has any assets to go after.
Don't waste your time sending a letter for your deductible, since he will have YOUR company plus 2 other companies after him. Let your insurance company handle this, since this is what you pay insurance for.
good luck
Not too hard but requires planning. SO, for auto insurance simply ask for a quote from your current company based on the city you want to live. If they require an address, find an address based on a location you MIGHT want to live. Housing is easy to find on-line and you will have to rent a place at first….Even if you can afford it, don't buy immediately as you need to find out what the areas are like.
As to a job..that can be difficult and really depends upon both your experience, jobs available in the area, and your ability to sell yourself into that market. You will have to adjust your resume for the job you are applying for though.
I am not sure how much you make at your current job, but likely (no offense) not a lot. So you might want to consider renting a place as a roommate rather than your own apartment. WHile in Chicago (and going through a divorce) I had an apartment downtown off Michigan Ave and extra rooms so I rented one out which worked out great. You will have to interview the people etc over the phone, but have certain guidelines: smoking, drugs, sleep overs, times to go to bed normally, dishes, electric, paying cash for bills/receipt. I would suggest going with a person whom is a professional or student in med school.
Moving your stuff…only take what you really need. Don't store things as you will likely not go back for them. Minimize your expenses (car paid for?, credit cards?).
Consider even living in a hospice which can be a good place while you look for work. They have rules etc which will work in your favor and the kids there should be able to point you in a good direction.
Returning to work: Your resume needs to be clear…Have it updated with a current address in S FL. Consider that you may have to work in a restaurant waiting tables, washing dishes, etc while you look for the job you want to do. These are great jobs for moving to another location.
Been there, several times…And don't listen to people like FakeID who obviously did not even read the question. Morons…
auto insurance is very very important, don’t even drive if you don’t have one*’”
