Cutting Insurance Costs Through Reverse Auctions

Insurance is an expense we’d all like to minimize – without loss of quality. There are several services that encourage insurers to make their best offers, but it can be difficult to distinguish whether the website or 800 number is truly representing multiple insurers, or is just pushing a single company’s products. We also find that, having requested quotes, there are likely to be follow-up e-mails and phone calls for a year or more afterwards that need to be dealt with. Once a company has your contact information, they tend to be very persistent and even aggressive in trying to sell you insurance.

But there is a better way. What if you could solicit bids for the insurance package you need without revealing your contact information? Say you could spell out what level of house insurance, car insurance, life insurance and/or medical insurance you need, and have insurers bid on the package in competition with each other – without contacting you directly or through e-mail – wouldn’t that be a great way to select your provider or providers?

Don’t Forget Auto Insurance Costs when Budgeting for a New Vehicle

Frequently when people purchase a new vehicle, they are excited and forget to consider the increased costs for insuring their new car. This can cause a financial burden on people since they usually have taken on the maximum possible debt with their new monthly car payment. Failing to take into consideration the cost of car insurance premiums prior to buying a car can wreak financial havoc.

A good automobile insurance policy is crucial to have in these times. There are two main reasons why being covered by an insurance policy is so important. In the first place, it is a legal requirement in Canada and all of the United States to have automobile insurance. In addition, if a major accident occurs that causes property damage and/or injury, this type of policy can protect people from a potentially devastating financial situation.

Liability insurance is the most basic class of insurance coverage, and because in most states, it’s a legal requirement for a motorist to be considered adequately covered, it’s the most common as well. Damage done to the property of others or injury to others that is caused by the driver is covered under a liability policy. Losses incurred by the driver are not covered by this type of policy, but it does cover losses incurred by other parties that result from an accident in which the covered driver was at fault.
