I wanna get a insurance for my car. it’s a 1995 Pontiac Firebird. I got my license when I was 18 and now I’m 21 and I have a clean record in state of California. I just need a cheap insurance. How much is it gonna cost me each month? Which one is the cheapest one?
At your age, driving a sports car you won’t find cheap. You can get the best for you by going to talk to an independent agent and letting him peruse his data base on your behalf.
Maybe you’ve been denied by many companies if you have an awful driving record. Or maybe the auto insurance quotes you’ve got were extremely high-rated and out of your budget. The online ads of auto insurance quotes do seem promising, but the reality is that they charge more if their customer is a high-risk driver. But the good news is that there companies which provide cheap and effective schemes.
Now the question arises how one becomes a high-risk driver. There could be many reasons .One of them is having a rickety driving background with numerous speeding tickets. A DUI or DWI on your driving record can also prove to be harmful for getting a good and cheap insurance quote. This can also affect your auto insurance premium greatly. There is an unusual type of insurance called SR-22 for high-risk drivers.
A young driver under the age of twenty five or the one having his or her own sports car may be taken as a high risk driver. One’s auto insurance premium can be affected by his or her financial credit ratings. These criterions vary with each insurer. All car insurance companies charge more for high-risk drivers. Luckily, from your home computer, you can compare various companies at the same time and can save your money.
Comparing auto insurance quotes is quite simple using internet. One has to just find an auto insurance comparison website. This saves time and there is no need to visit several companies personally. Some sites offer general quotes, whereas others show more information that a customer would need. While comparing various auto insurance schemes, look for the companies that focus mainly on high-risk drivers. These will provide good schemes for high risk drivers as high-risk driving insurance is their specialty. Once your search is narrowed to only few companies, you may personally speak to the agent to get a summarized quote.
Eliminate of the types of coverage you don’t need is also a main part of your plan. The basic types of coverage include accident, legal responsibility (property spoil and body wounds), underinsured motorist coverage, medical expenditure, and physical injuries. More liability is always better. To visually see what each company offers, manually take out the print outs of various quotes provided by the companies. Keep your driving record clear to decrease your premium. It’s always better to wait for the best.

ve a friend who is getting his licence back in April and he was told it may cost $7000.00 a year for auto insurance- could it be true?
Insurance is baed on the amount of RISK.
Someone with a conviction (and if license was taken away he was convicted) is more likely to have a accident and a serious one so the the risk is higher.
People who are higher risk pay more.
Poor credit rating = high risk = pay more intrest on cards and home loans — becuase thye are more likley to not pay the money back.
Previous accident or moving violation, or DUI then more likely to file claim for insurance.
Young and foolish – more likely to have accident so pay more.
High performance sports car ? – pay more.
Middle aged, professioanl, with minivan — pay less.
That’s why sex offenders cant be around kids, and thiefs cant work in banks, fire-bugs cant be firemen.
Obese,old, smokers pay more for health/life insurance– cause they use more. Sky diver — we dont cover that.
I can remember it well. Passing my driving test was perhaps the single most important day of my life. I was simply overjoyed, no, overwhelmed, ecstatic, elated. In fact, I was so thrilled at having passed first time that I gave myself a throbbing headache with all the overexcitement, but who cared. I had arrived. Look out girls, the new man about town will be cruising down a street near you!
Alas, it wasn’t so long after that that the bubble popped and the realities set in. Oh, I had saved hard enough and long enough with my part time work to buy my first motor, but being a young and inexperienced driver meant that finding affordable car insurance was not going to be an easy task. Actually, some of the early quotes I got worked out more than what the car was worth. Can you believe that!
Good ole dad came to the rescue and gave me a much needed reality check. First he explained why car insurance for young drivers was so pricey, and then he gave me some real useful tips on how to adjust to the situation so that I can get my first motor and gain some much needed experience. Here’s what he told me:
The first and obvious fact was that young drivers, and in particular young male drivers, are among the most reckless on the roads, therefore making them a high risk to the insurance companies. As the insurance business is out to make money, many are reluctant to hand out policies to young drivers. Many will deter you by offering a ridiculous premium that is well out of the reach of Joe the average teenager, or they will simply refuse to quote.
My dad went on to say that there are ways to get into the good books of insurance companies and methods to lower your early quotes. One of the first tricks is to forget the snazzy sports car as your first purchase. It’s always wise to go for a car that has a low insurance group number both for safety and cost reasons. If you are purchasing in the UK, these numbers range from 1 to 20, and the higher the number, the higher the premium. So, it’s important to narrow down your first choice of car by the insurance group number. Higher numbers are usually determined by a few factors including bigger engines, faster vehicles, and a higher price tag etc.
A low insurance group vehicle on the other hand, is obviously cheaper, smaller and less expensive. Ok, so this probably means your first wheels are not going to be the lady puller you hoped for, but be a little patient, play by the rules, and you’ll be getting your experience and no-claims bonuses banked in no time at all. Another advantage of purchasing from the low insurance group is that you will be looked at as a responsible kid by the insurance company. Many folks stay with the same company or broker for years and once they build up a good relationship with the insurer, there are some great deals and discounts offered over time.
Another cost cutter is to purchase only third party fire and theft insurance which will drastically reduce your premium. If your first car is old and inexpensive, maybe you don’t need to take out fully comprehensive cover. However, if you have spent a fair bit on your first motor, then only fully comprehensive will do of course.
