Will car insurance offer a jump start to my car?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

My car doesn’t ignite and I’m guessing the battery is out. Will my car insurance company be able to come over and jump start my car? I use Farmer’s btw. Otherwise what’s the best solution?

Only if you have tow service included with your auto insurance package. Some companies include it by default (though they charge extra for it), but I’m sure with Farmers and other big companies you’ll have to opt in to that service. You can check with your insurance company, and they’ll be able to tell you right away whether you have it or not.

Also, don’t start a tow package just for this situation unless you’re ok with leaving your car sitting for a few days, at least. Especially with auto insurance tow packages, there’s a delay time between when you set it up and when you can actually file a claim. AAA may be like this as well, but it’s worth checking into because it has other benefits.

The best, and cheapest, solution would be to have somebody jump you — a friend or relative, ideally.

You can also call a tow company, but it’ll be cheaper for you to go out and buy a new battery. You could also go to a car-parts store, or a store like Walmart and purchase a battery charger / jumper — they charge your battery but also help to boost the juice enough to start your vehicle. This option could also be cheaper than hiring a tow truck. However, if this is your only vehicle… your options are likely limited to what I’ve listed here.

Usually, tow packages added onto your auto insurance are relatively cheap — $5 per month or there about. Unless you have something else, like a AAA membership, it might be worth considering because it can save you a lot of money in situations like this.

what would b the cheapest simpilist insurance?
Im a teen 17yrs

The cheapest is the one you have found yourself after you have checked out about 15 insurers and know which one asked you the least money based on your details.
Comparison sites will simplify this task for you but you’ll still have to check a few. It’s the same as buying a car, the more you research around and look at different cars, the better deal you will get.
I’ve bookmarked this sites to go back to…

What is the average car insurance price for a new driver?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

I have my driver licence almost eight months ago in NH. Now I moved to Mas and I pay about $ 210 per month for car insurance. I want to know if I can find cheaper or this not too bad for a new driver. I own a 2000 ford Taurus since two months. What do you think guys?

the cheapest insurance i could find when i first started driving was nationwide but it was still just over 200$/month. So it looks like your right in the ball park of it all for full coverage.

Car Insurance for the newly retired. Do insurance companies take account of drivers of company cars ?

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

I have been driving for about 44 years and have had a company car for the last 20 or so. When I retire, will an insurance company take account of this with no-claims discount for a car of my own?
I do own a classic car on a special classic car policy but as it is very cheap with limited mileage (1500 miles) applying there is no ncd.

You can ask your ex employer for a letter saying that you have have driven their vehicles for x years without a claim, which should go towards a few extrs years NCB form your insurance.
Good luck and enjoy your retirement.

How can I get car insurance without a guardian?

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I live with away from my parents, Im almost 18 but not there yet. How can i get car insurance without having a guardian?

In the US yes you can. There should be no problem. You can even get your own policy online with Progressive. I wouldn’t suggest it if you do not know much about insurance. The best thing to do is to call an independent agent for a quote. They can advise you on what coverage you should have, they will offer you a few options and you can make an informed decision for the coverage that is best for your situation & what you can afford. It will be expensive!

What is the best car insurance provider for young drivers?

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

I have recently passed my driving test, and was wondering which car insurance provider is cheapest as most of them seem to be very expensive!

I had the same problem. I was quite young when I passed and most companies turned me down because I was younger than 21. Others were not even worth considering because the premium came to around £1000. I was recommended Privilege from a friend, as that was the cheapest, and I have been with them since. Bear in mind that most companies take into consideration your age, no claims bonuses etc, so try a few places for quotes before you settle for one.

How would a car insurance company discover an underage drinking ticket?

Friday, January 15th, 2010

I wasn’t driving, therefore it wont be on my driving record only my criminal. I was wondering if a car insurance company checks criminal records while you have insurance with them? The case was resolved through "stay of adjudication" which means if i keep my nose clean for a year it will be dismissed.

Thank you for your help.

There are lots of places where you can get an online quote. http://www.autoadvicetips.com/Auto-Insurance-Quote.html It only takes about 5 minutes to do.
