When it comes to auto insurance sometimes we are taught things that simply are not true. Let\u2019s look at some of the most common misconceptions about auto insurance:<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
This is not true, no-fault insurance means that no matter who is at fault your auto insurance company pays for your damage in a wreck.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
Actually, the color of you car has no affect on your insurance rate. What does affect your rate is the year, make, model, body type and engine size of your car as well as your personal credit history and driving record.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
Nope. If it\u2019s your car, it\u2019s your responsibility. And the news gets worse. Even though you weren\u2019t there at the time of the accident, you will get a mark on your insurance and your insurance rates will most likely go up.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
No, the government has nothing to do with your car insurance rate. Where you live, your credit score, marital status and your driving record are the things that affect your insurance rate.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
Not necessarily. It is required that the policy holder notify the insurance company within a matter of days of getting a new car in order to make sure the new vehicle is insured. It is most advisable to call them before you make the purchase, to assure they will cover the vehicle you are going to buy.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
Yes and no. Males under 25 will pay more for car insurance than females will. But, teenagers and younger adults will pay even more for car insurance because they are in the high risk age group.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
That is false. Your credit score really does matter. Many insurance companies will do a credit check when you are taking out a policy with them.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
That is not true. You will need to purchase comprehensive coverage in order to fully protect you car.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
Not true. If you are going to use your car for business you may need to upgrade your insurance policy to cover that. If you are going to let people that work for you drive your car you also need to add that to your insurance policy.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
Even if you\u2019ve never had an accident, you are required by California law to have auto insurance on your car. If you don\u2019t, you could face criminal penalties. You may be lucky by not having an accident but if you are involved in an accident and you don\u2019t have insurance then you will certainly see how unlucky you can be. It is always best to be protected.
