    gap-insuranceNow that we have talked about Collector Car Insurance a little bit – let’s go ahead and get into the restrictions on this particular car insurance.  Firstly, the driver must meet the age requirements, which is usually 25 – 30 years or older.  Also, you much have a very clean driving record in order to get Collector Car Insurance.  To be honest – teenagers are not eligible at all.

    Next, mileage limitation is something that you are going to have to deal with.  Typically, you will only be able to drive the car 2,500 miles a year in order to get this particular insurance.  You will also have to store it in a garage area or adequate storage, as this is something the insurance company will probably check on.

    Finally, you will not be able to use the car to drive for pleasure – just for short distances or any longer should be to a car show or club.

    Car insuranceThe next thing that you have to understand about your car insurance rate is that it is not only based on where you live but also who you are.  Your credit score is something that seriously follows you everywhere and if you have a bad credit score, which could result in a high insurance rate.  The reason is because if creditors can not find your trust worthy, why would a car insurance company?  That is exactly how they view it.

    The next thing is your driving record.  While most teenagers do not think about their driving record when they are young, if you want to have a good car insurance premium, you truly need to make sure that you have a really good driving record … otherwise you will not be able to get a really good car insurance premium.

    Finally, your age is something that does affect your car insurance.  Your rate will go down after you are 25, however if you are younger than that, you are still considered a ‘risky’ driver.

    understanding-auto-insurance-understanding-auto-insuranceUnderstanding your car insurance rates is something that is difficult – seriously!  There are a ton of different factors that the car insurance companies look at that you probably have no idea about.  The first thing?  The state that you live in can truly impact the car insurance rate that you are going to get along with the policy that you are going to get.

    For example, Florida is a state that has a lot of different car insurance rates; it all just depends on where you are living.  For example, if you are living in Miami or Fort Lauderdale, you could be spending a heck of a lot more than if you lived in a less-popular place.  The reason for this is that when you live in popular places … you are probably going to be driving more.

    There are a ton of other facts that go into choosing your insurance rate and that is what we are going to explore in the next blog … stay tuned!

    high-performance-2So, thieves and their relationship to your high performance vehicle — what are the specifics?

    If you own a Jaguar, a Cadillac, a BMW, or a Mercedes, among many others, this pertains to you, and you definitely need to be careful — perhaps even wary. Thieves are more and more often targeting cars like these, to turn in, whereupon they either sell it whole or, more frequently, strip it to sell all the parts for some very pretty pennies.

    Worse yet, the thieves are getting much more stealthy; they are going to sneakier lengths to steal your car. You see, modern technology is not necessarily a good thing. A potential thief only has to check out the Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, which is typically located on the windshield. With that and a photo ID car, the thief can access the title to your car, which will allow a dealer to give the thief a reissued key.

    As a result of this, car insurance rates for these vehicles are rising exponentially. After all, your car insurance company is left holding the bag when you car is stolen.

    high-performance-1As many of you no doubt realize, high performance cars are typically much more expensive to insure. While this fact itself is widely known, what a lot of us do not know is why this is true.

    Oh, we know some of the reasons. Drivers of high performance cars tend to drive faster, for one thing, which makes them riskier to insure, in terms of the likelihood of an accident. The cost of the vehicles themselves — not to mention the cost of their parts, and having to replace them — these factors play important parts as well.

    However, a direct result of the economy has quite a lot to do with why high performance cars cost so much money to insure. We all know the economy is frankly crappy right now. This leaves a lot of people desperate for extra, much needed money.

    As we will detail further in the next post, your high performance vehicle basically costs a lot to insure because a lot of thieves ultimately target it.
