Types of Auto Insurance in Ohio
Reader’s Question:
I am trying to get cheap auto insurance in Ohio but the agent I have spoken to did not elaborate on the types of auto insurance. Can you help me instead?

Well, if I were you, Xavier, I would have gone to the next insurance agent I see. Nowadays excellent customer service is the name of the game and the agent you have talked to should have known this. All I’m saying is, don’t lose faith in insurance agents, I personally know some from Ohio and I can vouch for their respect for customers.
So to answer your question, there are different levels of coverage for auto insurance, and all will be readily available in Parma . To look for them, you just take the quick quiz on this page which gives free quotes for you. The first level of coverage, and I guess you can call this the bare minimum because this is what’s required in most states is liability insurance. Liability insurance makes sure that you have a mechanism to pay another party if you have caused injuries and damage to their property if you are in collision with them. The second type of coverage is for you and it is called collision coverage. It pays for the damages and injuries you might have, even though you are at fault. The third, and most ideal is comprehensive coverage, which covers liability and collision, and even non-accident related damages such as theft.
When you do take that survey, bear in mind what level of coverage you want. Or if you haven’t decided yet, why not get free cheap car insurance quotes for all three insurance types and decide later?
Why Do SUV Models Cost More to Insure?
Reader’s Question:
Why do specific sport utility vehicles (SUV) models cost more to insure than others? I’m shopping around in Memphis, TN so I get to see how quotes differ from one company to another.

Insurance premiums depend on different factors, including your age, sex, place of residence, and driving record; the amount and type of coverage you select; and whether you drive your vehicle primarily for business or personal purposes. This somehow explains why one driver might pay a different premium than another for the same make of motor vehicle.
But your question is, why does it cost you more to insure one sport utility vehicle (SUV) than another? In addition to the factors mentioned above, insurance companies consider the possibility that a particular brand of vehicle will be stolen, vandalized, or involved in an accident. Also, they track the estimated cost of repairs. Insurance companies usually get their information by consulting various claim statistics. Because of this fact, an SUV that is most attractive to thieves across the country will probably be more expensive to insure than the one that is stolen least often.
In addition to what the industry wide statistics show, insurance companies consider their own experience with claim payouts. For example, if one company has paid numerous claims regarding a particular make of SUV, it may charge higher insurance premium rates for that type of SUV than another company would. So I would advise for you to obtain quotes from several insurance companies in Memphis, TN before insuring your SUV.
