ehicle Insurance - 2 Things to Be Aware of When

If you're like me, you'd love to reduce your car insurance premiums without reducing your coverage. But do you have insurance agents as friends? I have two. Recently, having done some online research, I came up with some interesting findings and ran them by my insurance friends.

This is what I'm talking about:

a.retain the right to sue

.don't sign contracts that include the words 'aftermarket parts' or similar ones.

Let me go into a bit of detail on these two, as they have important consequences for you, the auto insurance buyer.

Retain the right to sue

According to some car insurance advisory sites you should always retain your right to sue your insurer. The reason? If you do not you're making easier for your insurer to cheat you.

This is what happens. If you give up the right to sue and there's a disagreement, you and your insurer go to arbitration. If you retain the right to sue, you can, of course, get a lawyer and sue.

Lawyers charge a lot more than arbitration people do. So insureres have additional incentives to follow the contract the two of you signed, to settle.

What did my insurance agent friend say about not giving up the right to sue? "It's true, but it doesn't really work that way. People get favorable results from arbitration."

I never disputed that arbitration cannot yield good results Autel MaxiCOM MK808. Just that retaining the right to sue does it faster more often.

Aftermarket parts

If your car is damaged and you have the right insurance, the insurance company pays for repairs, including parts. Car parts made by companies other than the car maker are called "aftermarket parts."

Originally, it seems, aftermarket parts were not as extensively tested amd were inferior in condition. Now, some are as good as or better than the parts made by car makers. However, people still perceive them as being inferior. So, if your car has aftermarket parts, its value would be lower, you'd have to sell it for less than if it had original car maker parts.

I brought up aftermarket parts with one of my insurance agent friends. He told me it's not true. He said most insurance companies use aftermarket parts for cars older than two years. Which proves my point, not his. And my point is that there are insurers that do not use aftermarket parts and Autel Diaglink, if you have a choice, you should use them. Or have your insurance company remove the 'aftermarket parts' language from your policy.

My insurance agent friends tell me that insurance companies don't like people to cross out anything in their contracts. That they will not give you coverage if you do. I think a contract is a mutual agreement so, if they don't agree with me, I'm fine. I move on. It's always best to find someone who wants what you want.

It's easier to shop around for auto insurance if you work with an insurance broker, they have access to a lot more plans then regular insurance agents. auto insurance (Chicago area) seekers have one such agent at .
