Figure Out Your Car Insurance Needs

Jan 26, 2011

There’s a lot to think about when choosing your car insurance. In some states, to license your car you must:

  • Carry liability coverage for damages incurred by others if you cause an accident; or
  • Carry no-fault coverage to pay for medical and related expenses for you and your passengers caused by injuries from a car accident, regardless of fault; or
  • Carry liability and no-fault coverage

Check with Paupack Insurance to see what’s required in Pennsylvania.

If you live in Pennsylvania and don’t have car insurance, you risk paying the full cost of:

  • Medical costs due to injury to yourself or others.
  • Repairing or replacing your car if it’s damaged or stolen.
  • Damage or injury from an auto accident with an uninsured driver.
  • Damage to your vehicle when it’s parked at your home or a public place.

How can you tell what amount of coverage is best for you?

Consider your driving profile:

  • What kind of car do you drive? Coverage on your vehicle depends on its value. The less expensive the car, the lower the insurance premium you generally pay.
  • How much do you drive? Drivers who use their car for business and long-distance commuting normally pay more than those who drive less.
  • What’s your age, gender, and marital status? Statistics show accident rates are impacted by these factors. If there are multiple drivers in your household, that can also affect your price. Parents can lower risk by keeping teens safer on the road.
  • Where do you live? Your location, whether you live in Hawley or somewhere else, and whether you’re a homeowner or renter, will affect your car insurance payment.
  • What is your driving record? Drivers with a history of accidents or chargeable motor vehicle violations (e.g. speeding tickets) generally pay more than those who are accident-free for several years.
  • What is your credit history? Many insurance companies consider credit history when determining an individual’s rate.
