Q: Do you have any tips for saving money when adding a teenager to your SR22 auto insurance certificate insurance policy?

A: Sure. An SR22 auto insurance certificate is a costly type of car insurance, and adding a teen to your policy is bound to make your rates rise yet again, which is why you need to keep your eye on available discounts when choosing a car insurance company. There are two discounts which will save you the most with a teenager, and here they are.

First of all, you should have your teenager be part of a general driver’s education course. You can usually find a class like this at your child’s school. If they take a course in order to get their driver’s license, then once they have the course finished they will be able to get a discount. Don’t forget that your teen needs to be on your SR22 auto insurance certificate while they have their learner’s permit as well.

Second of all, you should keep an eye on your teen’s grades. What does this have to do with your SR22 auto insurance certificate? If your teen makes Bs or higher in his/her classes, then you can save good money on your auto insurance with a good student discount.

Borrowing an Uninsured Car Will My Policy Cover an Accident?

Reader’s Question:

I am from Pennsylvania, and I usually drive my friend’s uninsured car. Will my auto insurance cover it if I get involved in an accident?

Betty

Lancaster, PA

Pennsylvania is one of the largest states that adopted the no-fault law. The no-fault law states that if there was a car accident, the parties involved will be covered by their own car insurance company regardless of who was responsible for the mishap. This no-fault law is an attempt to minimize delays and red tape. Lengthy lawsuits trying to determine who was at fault and who needs to pay who can be quite tedious and bothersome.

In your case, before you borrow anybody’s car, be sure to verify if it has auto insurance coverage. Your friend has to obtain his or her own insurance coverage for the car. It is against the law to acquire a vehicle and not have it covered. This is because every federal government requires its motorists to have financial responsibility if they cause unfortunate accidents. So your friend is obligated to insure it.

If ever you get into an accident while driving your friend’s car, then his or her insurance will kick in first. Your auto insurance policy will be a back up to your friend’s coverage if it so happens that his or her policy limits cannot pay for all the expenses incurred following an accident.

What Kind of Car Insurance Coverage Should I Get in Pennsylvania?

Reader’s Question:

If there’s a third party liability, then what’s the coverage for first and second party liability? I don’t think I’ve heard of those here in Erie, PA. I just got my first car and I don’t know what kind of insurance to get.

Chuck

Erie, PA

You are one confused kid, I tell ya. Okay, let us get all the terms clear here, all right? The term first party refers to you, the policy owner who entered in to contract with the second party, which is the car insurance company. So, yes you were correct about not having heard of the first party and the second party liabilities before because in Erie, Pennsylvania and in any other state for that matter, the most common and most sought-after kind of insurance coverage is the third party liability. Well, of course, you got the idea of second party all wrong. Seriously now, the third party refers to the other person or other persons who are involved in the accident, and they are the people to whom the damage is done, whether in terms of body injuries or damage to property. So in a nutshell, the coverage of the first party liability includes the policy owner, his or her passengers. The third party liability, on the other hand, covers property damage and bodily injures on other people as a result of the accident, so you won’t have to worry about paying for repair bills and medical expenses. And there’s no such thing as second party liability, which is like saying that it’s the vehicle insurance company that caused the accident.

Is Teen Driver Required To Be Added To Parent Car Insurance Policy?

Reader’s Question:

Is my 16 year old teenage son required to be added to my insurance policy simply because he has his license, or can he just borrow my insured car until she gets his own car? What are the ramifications (if any) if I didn’t add him and there was an accident? We live in PA.

Carrie

Allentown, PA

Pennsylvania insurance providers guidelines vary but in general insurance companies will require you to list all licensed motorists in your household on your insurance policy. Since you son has received his license your car insurance company should be notified and they will tell you if you are required to add him or not, most likely you will need to add him in order for his to have coverage.

If you do not inform your Pennsylvania insurance provider about your son being licensed and he is not added to the policy then he may not be covered if in case of an accident. Or we have heard of situations in which the teenager would be covered for the accident but only after you have paid the premiums that should have been paid for your teenage son to be on the policy and properly covered.

How To Get Low Cost SR22 Auto Insurance

Q: How can I get low cost SR22 insurance on a new car which I will soon buy?

A: Although price is a big factor, one of the huge thing your car insurance company is going to pay attention to when rating your SR22 insurance policy is how safe your car will be on the road. Your own driving history will come into this, but so will the driving record of the car and how safe it is. So, if you want to get low cost SR22 insurance, you need a car which is safe.

How do you know if a car is safe? First, check the safety ratings. Safety ratings come from crash tests which show how much damage cars suffer and cause when involved in different kinds of accidents. It isn’t very hard to find a car with excellent safety ratings, so never accept second best in this area.

Another way you can insure that your car is safe enough for low cost SR22 insurance is to make sure that it has all of the best safety features installed on it when you buy it. By doing this, you can make sure you get low ratings and a car insurance discount as well.

Will Filing an SR22 Form Raise My Insurance Rates?

Q: I’m supposed to start filing an SR22 form certificate soon, but I want to know if I will see a rate raise?

A: I can’t say without seeing more information if you will see a rare raise when you begin to file your SR22 form certificate, but I can tell you that most people do see a raise, and that it’s even a possibility which you shouldn’t rule out that your car insurance policy will be completely canceled or your company will decide not to renew it.

There are a couple of instances which might allow you to escape this common pattern. If you have a long history as a customer with your car insurance company, then beginning to file an SR22 form certificate might not have any effect at all. Many companies will allow forgiveness for a first time offense, from things such as traffic tickets to at fault accidents. An SR22 is a little more serious than these, so it would be harder to be forgiven, but some companies do this.

Also, if you have an impeccable driving record and find yourself in what is called the preferred class of car insurance policy holders, then your insurance company may be reluctant to knock you out of that class. Even if you do, your rates might not rise terribly because you will likely become part of the average class rather than the extremely high risk one which most people who file the S22 form certificate are part of.

Q: I filed a claim with my car insurance company and they’ve responded really badly. Can I get any SR22 help?

A: You might be able to get some SR22 help if you have some proof to back up the assertion that your car insurance company has handled your claim very badly. The Pennsylvania Department of Insurance has a complaint department, and you can file a complain online, over the phone, or on paper about what your car insurance company has done. If you have a good reason, the Department of Insurance will then investigate your complaint, which could lead to compensation for you and punishment for the car insurance company.

Typically, it goes like this. You file a complaint for your SR22 DoI then looks at your complaint and sends you a follow up requesting documentation of your complaint, and you send it in so they can make their final decision. Make sure you keep track of all of your records concerning your claim so that you have it for proof, and if possible record or write down what customer service representatives for your company say any time you talk to them, as well as writing down who you are talking to and their representative number if they have one.

I Have SR22 Insurance – How To Get Insurance For My Teen Driver?

Q: My teenage son will be getting his license this coming May, so I want to get him a car so that he can drive to work and help pay the insurance. What kind of car is best for a teen who is a first time driver and won’t affect my SR22 rates too badly?

A: The key to getting excellent SR22 rates with a new car is for you to avoid doing just that–buying a new car. Although newer vehicles can be tempting, especially for teenagers who are fascinated with the idea of getting a car for the first time, the more your car is worth, the more you will have to pay to insure it. While you’re financing a car, you’ll need to have collision coverage, so your car insurance company will want to charge you more just in case it will have to pay to replace your car if your teenager should total it. So, the main key to good SR22 rates with a new car is for you to keep it cheap–stay away from new and high priced used cars.

Even though you may be getting a used car in order to save money on your SR22 rates for car insurance, since you are insuring a teenager you don’t want the car to be too old. Teenagers are notoriously dangerous drivers and very high risk, so you should get a car which is new enough to have many of the latest safety features installed. Try to get something which is at most 5-7 years old, so that it will be safe for your son to drive and will last him awhile. He’ll be able to offer you more help making payments the cheaper the car is, too.
