A general liability insurance is important for every motorist to have, as it gives peace of mind in the event of an accident or theft. There are many interesting facts about this form of coverage worth noting. At the same time, there are many misconceptions, such as the color of your motor vehicle impacting on the premium rates offered. Still, these all important to know as you set out to protect your vehicle should hail, weather, theft, or accident arise. National Car Insurance Day for the United States was on 1 February reminding owners of the importance of protecting their valuable asset.

It is illegal to not have car insurance in some states. It is also more affordable to get one in some states, while it is harsher for your bank account to get one in some states. The point is to see where you fall in and make a decision with that in mind. The bottom line is to ensure you have one.

You need to learn fast that the most expensive option is not the best one. You might find that it does not fit your budget and it could be unfitting for your lifestyle too. Choose the option that is good for your pockets and your car, what you need in a cover. Also what the weather conditions are like where you stay.

You are going to be assessed for your car and how many you have owned. The number of accidents you have had, where you stay and the overall safety. The amount you are charged with is influenced by all these factors and more. The emphasis here is on the fact that no two people are alike, and you have different finances too.

Motor vehicle records are also considered. A history report can determine how many claims were made and how much was received for each claim. Accident, crashes and violations are listed and companies check as far back as five years to better assess the motorist and his or her unique situation. As everything which happens to an automobile is logged, a clear assessment can be made.

Beware of the stigma attached to drivers without car coverage or policy. Usually, if you are without a policy you may be viewed as irresponsible or negligent. The companies feel that they cannot trust you and you may seen as unreliable. Do not just let your policy expire without taking care of it, this makes you look bad.

Another interesting fact is the elements that affect your rates that have nothing to do with your vehicle or money. One of those is your marital status, single people are said to have a higher risk of getting involved in accidents. Another factor is where you work, the company that has employed you.

There seems to be a set of rules that are followed by most if not all companies. Almost as if they all use The same template to assess vehicle owners before approving their contract. This template was designed by Travelers Insurance, perhaps do a Google search prior to applying for coverage to see what you are up against.
