How much insurance coverage do I need?
Your individual needs and situation should dictate how much insurance you need. When you’re trying to determine how much insurance to buy, here are a few factors to think about:
- How much can you afford to pay out of pocket? (Choose a deductible that you know you can pay out of pocket. Also, if you choose lower limits, you might be personally responsible for damages that exceed those limits. Consider whether you can afford this possibility, too.)
- Do you make payments on your car? (If you do, you may be required to have Comprehensive and Collision in addition to Liability coverage.)
- What type of vehicle do you drive? (It’s wise to have higher limits for vehicles, such as large SUVs, that can cause more damage.)
- Do any drivers live in your house but never drive your vehicles? (You can exclude them from coverage on your policy, which means you won’t have to insure them on your policy.)
Remember, you can always call us if you have any questions about coverage. We can answer any questions and help you decide before you buy.
Is it legal to give a car as a gift to a family member, or do I have to put a dollar figure on it (for example $1)?
It is legal to give a car to a family member or anyone else, however, a bill of sale or an affidavit should be completed by both parties to verify this information for the Department of Revenue.

Will my insurance premium increase if I file a claim?
Every policy holder’s situation is unique, so depending on your circumstances, your premium may be affected. If you are concerned, don’t hesitate to discuss it with us. You may also want to ask us about Accident Forgiveness, which may help prevent your auto rates from going up just because of an accident, even if it’s your fault.
Why did my car insurance premium increase?
Most drivers know that tickets and accidents can raise your car insurance premium. But even if you haven’t been in an accident or received a ticket, there are other factors that can still affect the cost of your auto insurance.
Making a change to your policy can have an impact on your auto insurance rate. For instance, adding a driver will likely increase the cost of the policy, especially if the new driver is a teenager. Moving to a new residence may also affect the cost of your policy – depending on the rate of traffic accidents, thefts, and vandalism claims in your geographic area, this can affect your premium either negatively or positively.
Your premium may also increase if you’ve recently switched vehicles. The more your vehicle is worth, the more it will cost to insure. However, automobiles with features like anti-lock brakes, airbags, and anti-theft devices may lower your premium.
Why do car insurance premiums change?
Auto insurance premiums change for the same reasons that the price of other goods and services you buy change. Insurance companies incur the same costs you do in buying goods and services, and these costs can ultimately affect your insurance premium. Costs affecting the ultimate price of auto insurance include:
- Medical costs to treat injuries
- Auto repair costs
- Costs to adjust claims
- Inflation
- Uninsured drivers (your policy pays when the other driver doesn’t have an Auto insurance policy if you purchase Uninsured Motorist coverage)
Although insurance companies can’t directly control these costs, we regularly monitor them to see how they are affecting the costs of the claims we pay. As they change, auto premiums must be adjusted. These costs can affect your auto insurance premium whether or not you individually have had an accident or claim.
Changes you make to your auto insurance policy or coverage may also change the premiums. Adding or removing a driver, buying a new car, moving to a new location or changing how you use your car may influence the cost of your auto insurance.

Eric the owner is the nicest scammer ever.
I went to renew my 2 car registrations,each registration was $72 including the county tax,Mr Eric charged $15 for each year for each car and when I went to get the registration I noticed that he doble charged me for the county taxes I told him I think you overcharged me the county taxes and Mr Eric replied no I didn't I charge my own county taxes,I mean is that even legal? not only he charge $15 for each car for each year he charge $6 for each car for each year,so at the end of the day for 2 years registration that normal would cost 144.40 I ended up paying $220 ,well first time here and never again
