For some folks buying insurance is like shopping online.  Best price, best deal.  If you think of insurance as just a commodity, then this article probably isn't for you. 

Insurance is about relationship.  A good insurance agent will take the time to engage you in a dialogue of discovery.  What is important to you?  How will you best be protected from financial harm?  What do you expect your insurance to do for you? 

If you think of it as a commodity, best price, best deal...you'll probably be disappointed in the results.  An Indepdent Insurance Agent like Whitney-Harrison is trained to study your unique financial circumstances and assemble a policy to protect you from critical loss.  Not only to ask the right questions...but to listen.

An Independent Insurance Agent represents several insurance companies.  An Independent Insurance Agent is flexible that way.  More choice means better coverage, price and results.

If you are “shopping“ for insurance, there are plenty of agents out there...on the street and in the virtual world.  If you want more from your insurance than the best price, best deal...seek an Independent Insurance Agent...Whitney-Harrison Insurance.

Questions & Answers
Question

The top 5 Car Insurance Myths:

#5 - The color of my car affects my insurance rate.

Answer

False: What does influence your rate is your vehicle's year, make, model, body type, credit history and driving record.

Question

#4 - If I lend my car to a friend and that friend is in an accident, his or her insurance will pay for the damages.

Answer

False:  Your car, your responsibility.  And guess what, even though you weren't present at the time of the accident, it will go on your insurance record and your premium could go up!

Question

#3 - I recently paid my insurance premium so the new car I just purchased is covered.

Answer

Be careful on this one...True...up to a point.  Most insurance policies require the policyholder notify the agent or company within a specified number of days.  Specifically for "full coverage".

Question

#2 - My credit score has no effect on my insurance rate.

Answer

False: Your credit score does matter.  Most insurance companies take your credit score into consideration at the time you purchase car insurance.  Some companies review your credit on a regular basis.

Question

#1 - As long as I have the minimum car insurance required by the state I'm covered if I hurt someone or damage their vehicle.  I don't need more coverage than that.

Answer

This question has two answers...True to a point...but a bigger False if the damage or injury is severe.  State minimum car insurance limits are what they imply..."minimum".  If the damage you cause or injury you inflict costs more than your coverage, you will be held legally liable for the remaining amount.  This could be thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
