You will deal with a ton of information when you try to get a car insurance. It is important that you know the facts and you learn about the myths about auto insurance. Here are some of the most common debunked car insurance myths:
Myth: It will cost you more to insure a red car
Matter of fact: The red car will not give you higher insurance premiums compared to greens, blues, or blacks. Surprisingly, about one fourth of car owners on the road. The insurance company will not even ask for the color of your ride when they compute for the car insurance quote. They will need the make, year, model, engine size, age, and body type of your vehicle.
Myth: Thieves go for new cars
It is the other way around. Thieves actually go for older cars according to statistics. It is a matter of fact that 1990’s cars are the most stolen vehicles in the past two years. The older cars are practically easier to steal. There is also a huge market for old auto parts.
Myth: My car insurance policy will pay for my stolen, vandalized, or damaged by fire or hail car
This can be true if you have a comprehensive coverage. In most countries, you are only required to get a liability coverage which is to cover for the expenses incurred because of damages you cause to others. Remember that you need a comprehensive plus a collision insurance to make sure you re well covered. Of course, always read the small fonts on your contract to make sure.
Myth: Sports cars will cost you higher premiums because you are more prone to speeding tickets
This is not necessarily true. Statistics show that SUV drivers, station wagon drivers, and some not so sporty car models end up on the top of the list for most traffic citations. On the other hand, sports car owners end up on the well-behaved list of the study. It will be your own driving history that will matter to the insurance company and not really these statistics. If I were you, drive nice and keep that record clean.

The rates of auto insurance may differ by a few bucks or by the hundreds as you check out the coverage offered by different insurance companies. Price should not really be the only basis when choosing your car insurance since you might end up spending more that what you think.
It is best to shop around and get the possible win-win deal. You can actually hire an agent to do the shopping for you but this will cost you some money. You can shop for an auto insurance yourself. You just have to remember some things when shopping for the right car insurance
You need an accurate insurance quote from the different car insurance companies so you can compare properly. Don’t forget to have the following information handy so you will be able to get an accurate auto insurance quote:
- Declaration Page of your current auto insurance – You need to compare the information so that you know that you will be getting the same if not a better coverage
- Information about the vehicle – Take note of things like VIN, make and model, yearly miles, distance you drive to work, any after market equipment you have installed on the car, any theft protection or alarm that you have.
- Driver information – Insurance companies will also need an idea who will be driving the vehicle. List down the names of drivers, age, occupation, license number, number of years driving, and genders. You also have to tell the insurance company if any of these drivers were involved in an accident in the recent past, plus information about the accident.
Make sure you get more than one auto insurance quote so you can pick the best. Don’t forget that you should read the fine print of the contract before signing anything.

Insurance companies are fickle, fickle things – we all know this. We all know that every little piece of information plays right into how good of a premium you are going to get but here are some of the reasons that it might actually cost you more to insure that SUV that you have been dying to get.
First and foremost, the likelihood of that particular brand of SUV being involved in an accident, stolen or vandalized might come into play. For example, if it is a very popular SUV model, that might be something that the car insurance considers high risk, therefore the SUV would be more to insure.
The cost of repairs – it usually is a higher rate to repair an SUV and even though you car insurance company does not pay for the repairs, it is still important that the engine actually stays in tact and clean. Finally, obtaining their information by consulting various claim statistics is something that all insurance companies do.
