Car insurance quotes

There are many things about car insurance quotes which the agents don't want their clients to know. Car insurance quotes are charged for on a regular basis. All car insurance companies usually have a minimal fee for providing quotes, irrespective of the applicants buying insurance for them. But most agents do not disclose to their clients that free insurance quotes are available online. As a result most of the applicants spend a lot of time in getting insurance quotes from different companies. They also spend a lot of money in this process. But though the online modes of availing these quotes are easier and free, most agents don't inform their prospective clients about the same.

Other facts that agents don't reveal to clients

Apart from not informing the clients about free quotes there are various other factors which agents don't reveal to their clients. These are

a) Quotes are not prices

Most agents provide the quotes to their clients as their insurance rates. But insurance prices differ from these quotes. The quotes are just an approximate cost for the insurance which are provided to the prospective clients. The final prices for insurance are provided later and differ marginally from the insurance prices. But there are instances when these prices can also differ largely.

b) Students car insurance

Many parents are not aware that their children, who are studying, do not require a separate insurance policy. Usually there are provisions through which students can be covered under the same insurance policy which their parents own. But agents usually insist on providing separate insurance policy to the students without informing them about the benefits of incorporating their policy with their parents.

c) Deductibles

The auto insurance policies which have more deductibles than the cost of the repairs, then the total amount for the bill would leave the claim unreported. It is legal, if the clients prefer not to report an accident to their insurance company because every time a claim is filed it will go onto the insurance record. All insurance companies are protected against fraudulent claims from clients and hence there is a risk that the policy may not be renewed if the client has been involved in one accident. The discretion to renew the policy stays with the company.

These are certain factors which all people applying for auto insurance should remember so that they can avoid losses for them.
