Saving Money on Texas Commercial Auto Insurance

Saving Money on Texas Commercial Auto Insurance

Before you can start saving money on commercial auto insurance, it is first necessary to understand what commercial auto insurance really is. Texans have such a vast array of vehicle types and often use these vehicles for 2 or sometimes even 3 different applications a day.

A father may drop his kids off at school in the morning. He may then drive his truck to his contractor job and work 8 hours during the business day. After work, he may then decide to put in a few hours of fishing, and hook up the family boat to the very same truck and drive it down to the lake.

A CPA may spend most of her time driving from her home to her office and back home again and hold a standard commercial auto insurance policy on her car. During the course of her business, she may wind up doing business with a new client that requires her to travel to another city.

How do you classify such vehicles based on its varying use? To answer this question, you must work with a multi-line statewide insurance provider like Texas Auto Home Insurance that knows how to properly classify your vehicle and determine if it falls into a commercial auto or commercial truck classification.
Our agents understand that there are almost as many commercial classifications for vehicle usage as there are variations of usage. It is for this reason that we avoid defining “commercial auto insurance” for your Texas vehicle prior to carefully analyzing your situation and examining all the many details surrounding the ownership of the vehicle and its business usage.

Because we take the time to thoroughly evaluate all the factors associated with your vehicle, we can minimize a phenomenon known in the insurance business as “coverage overlap.” If a vehicle is not properly classified, different types of coverage will overlap and create higher premiums. Reducing the amount of overlap without reducing actual coverage is the key to saving money on commercial auto insurance.

George White, President of our organization, spent many years in underwriting prior to the founding of our statewide property and casualty insurance agency. Because he is familiar with the internal standards that Texas commercial auto insurance carriers use to determine base premium costs, George has been able to train his agents to properly classify each commercial vehicle and rate its use accordingly to the favor of the customer’s pocketbook and the specific legal requirements of Texas insurance law.

This requires ethics and finesse, but after 30 years in business, George and his staff know how to strike this delicate balance and consistently deliver savings on commercial auto insurance to more than 60% of the businesses that come to us for a policy.

Additional savings also come directly from the carriers who we represent. Most give major discounts for safety programs and outstanding loss histories. Working with an agent who can gather this data and properly present it to the commercial auto or truck insurance carriers will often be all you need to reduce your rages.

We also work with more than one A+ rated carriers that provide blanket endorsements for waiver of subrogation and additional insured requirements without added premium charges.

You will greatly benefit by acquiring a consultation and a quote from Texas Auto Home Insurance. Saving you money on your commercial auto insurance premium is our specialty.

Help answer the question about auto insurance

Why are auto insurance companies allowed to get away with such criminal practices?
After moving into inner Atlanta because I've grown tired of a completely car dependent lifestyle, my auto insurance went from 70 dollars a month to nearly 160 based solely on my location.

Not only is this unfair and stupid, it seems to me to defy logic. I would think the suburban commuter who is spending lots of time in his car every day is more prone to claims than me, who barely has a reason to use my car anymore.

Ridiculous.
Clarification: We're talking state minimum coverage here, so I wasn't covered for theft in the first place.

    Depends on where you live. I really like Farm Bureau, but I don't know if it is in all the states. I know it's in Indiana and Colorado.

  • Alex24 says:

    You can try:

    Freeway Insurance
    Esurance
    Progressive
    The General
    Dashers

    These are all cheaper insurance brokers. In the end it will mostly depend on the coverage you need, where you live, you're driving record, etc.

    Some of the better but more expensive companies are:

    AllState
    AAA
    Farmers
    State Farm

    Your medical insurance provider will collect from the insurance company of the driver who caused your injuries. This process is called subrogation. It is standard practice throughout the US.

    You are not entitled to dual benefit from your injuries. Go ahead and consult an attorney — he or she will almost certainly tell you the same thing.

    If you have a pain and suffering claim, that would be paid by the insurance company of the at-fault driver, assuming that there is any room left on his liability coverage. If he had minimum liability that's probably been exhausted already. An attorney can help with that part of your claim if need be.

    Depends on the company and the state that you live in. Auto insurance is regulated by each state so it can differ from state to state.

    Some companies might offer:
    -Good student discount (if you have a B or better average, so 3.0 or higher)
    -Driver Training discount (if you got your drivers license through an 'on the road' driver training course and got a certificate stating you completed the course
    -Some companies offer a book to be completed to make you designate driving goals to make you aware of your driving skills.

    If there are 3 cars in the house and 3 drivers in the house, you will probably have to be put as a primary operator of a car, BUT if threre are 2 cars in the house and 3 drivers in the house you could probably be rated as an occational operator of the vehicle.

    Just offering some suggestions for you!

    Hope this helps. Good luck.

    You get insurance from the place where you live. Period.

  • Sean P says:

    Most of the time, yes they will find those prior claims.
    Many insurance companies participate in a national database that tracks claims. They will also check you MVR records of any tickets or accidents. It is very difficult to slip one past an insurance company.
    Fraudulently stating fewer claims than you actually have is not a good idea. If you filed another claim and the prior ones were discovered, they could deny the new claim, back charge you a higher rate, and/or cancel the policy on the spot.

    Because your rate went up due to the claims, it's not a bad idea to shop around, just make sure they are rating you with knowledge of those prior claims.

    I had many problems with them as I used to work for them.

    You need to call them(1-800-Auto-Pro). They have record of all transactions whether via internet or phone. They have your whole conversation on tape and they should have said, "your policy incepted effective "this time" on "this date".

    I wouldn't freak out as they may have the address wrong…but do give a call asap.

  • NOSIE ROSIE says:

    I agree with Ben. If you are financing the vehicle, then you are required to have full coverage which includes collision. Take a look at your declarations page. Is there a premium amount next to the optional coverage Collision? Call your insurer and ask to speak to a supervisor. This could simply be an oversight by somebody in underwriting.
