It is an expensive policy but whenever you go to buy this one you should try to get 100% security for your vehicle. Third party insurance is cheapest than others and it offers coverage only if you?re at fault and hit other party. It is the best option in case you owned an old vehicle. <p><p>Specialized car insurance is for the 25 years old vehicles. These vehicles require special services so these are categorized as classic.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Auto Insurance ? Which Type Is Right For You?</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Joseph Kenny</b><p><p><p><p>Auto insurance is a form of insurance available to consumers who own cars, trucks and other vehicles. It covers the insured party against the risks involved in owning or driving a vehicle. This may be a car accident, damage caused to other cars or property, loss to passengers in your car, and damage to your car itself. <p><p>Optional Covers<p><p>There are different levels of insurance available depending on what risks you wants to cover. You can cover against the costs of repairing your vehicle after an accident. You can cover the cost of purchasing a new car should yours be stolen or damaged beyond repair. These are optional covers. <p><p>Liability insurance on the other hand is compulsory for all drivers. This will cover the risk of claims being made against you as the driver or owner of the vehicle that caused damage to the property of another, the vehicle of another, for medical expenses of others injured as a result of an accident, including passengers in your car. If you have liability insurance, it will only cover these risks. If you have comprehensive insurance it will cover also the risks to yourself and your own vehicle. <p><p>GAP Insurance<p><p>However, even comprehensive insurance will not fully cover your risks. First of all there is the issue that, as soon as you buy a new car, its price suddenly drops significantly because it is no longer new. It is used. So if you were to destroy your car the day after buying it, the insurance company would likely assess the value as something less than what you paid for it, even though you may still owe a good deal more than that in payments and financing. <p><p>To cover the chances of this happening, so called GAP insurance was developed. This covers the difference in the actual value of your car, and the amount you still owe in payments. The growth of vehicle leasing has also led to GAP insurance becoming more important. <p><p>Extra Cover<p><p>In the US, the insurance policy will generally cover the owner of the vehicle and any others who drive the vehicle so long as they do not live at the same address. For those living at the same address, you should have them specifically added to your insurance policy for an extra fee. This means that if you crash someone else?s car, while driving it with their permission, you will be covered by their policy, not your own. Non-owner policies are available to cover you on other people?s cars but these will only be available if you do not own your own car.<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Joseph Kenny is the webmaster of the insurance site <a href="http://www.insure121.com/" target=new>http://www.insure121.com/</a> where you will find information, news and links to the leading providers of car insurance in the UK.<p><p><p><p><p></td></tr><p></table>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Apartment Living: The Need for Fire Insurance</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Dan The Roommate Man</b><p><p><p><p>If your apartment catches on fire due to the negligence of a neighbor, it could cost you thousands of dollars. It doesn?t seem fair that someone else?s carelessness could cost you your prized possessions - but without fire insurance, it can.<p><p>Late for an appointment, Suzan squished her cigarette into a bottle and tossed it under the sink. A few hours later she returned to see the charred remains of what used to be building C in her apartment complex. Apparently, the cigarette wasn?t completely out, and her negligence led to a roaring fire.<p><p>Luckily, Suzan had fire insurance. This insurance provides coverage for losses from a fire and the resultant damage caused by smoke. Not only does this insurance take care of Suzan, but it also helps her neighbors. The insurance will pay for most, if not all, of the damages caused to the surrounding properties.<p><p>Fire insurance--also called renter?s insurance is incredibly inexpensive when you consider all that it takes care of. Some policies are under $300.00 annually. You won?t feel like it?s worth it until you finally need it... and then the annual fee will seem nominal.<p><p>Some tenants feel that they don?t need insurance--believing that the landlord is responsible for damages to their personal possessions. This is NOT TRUE. Most leases specify that you?re on your own when it comes to damages to personal possessions from fires and other natural disasters. The only time a landlord can be held responsible for your things is when the damage was caused due to his negligence. i.e. If the fire was caused by an electrical problem, etc.<p><p>If you don?t have fire insurance and you can prove that the fire was caused by your landlord or another tenant?s negligence, you may be able to recover some of your losses in small claims court. If the tenant/landlord is found guilty, he or she will be held legally responsible to repair the building, and replace or reimburse for the damaged possessions within. However, if you already have fire insurance before your property is damaged, they'll go through the court hassles for you.<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Since 1989 Dan The Roommate Man has helped 1000's of people find roommates.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Auto Insurance, Policy Assets, and Customer Assistance</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Kinney Dancair</b><p><p><p><p>One morning a friend of mine was running late for class at school. His wife was throwing together some kind of breakfast while he gathered his laptop, notebook, and picked out the books he was going to need for school that day. He zipped up his pack and ran outside to warm the car up. Except, there was no car. It had been stolen. My friend ran into one disappointment after another that week as he first found the insurance company wouldn't pay for a rental, then that the damage the thief did to the car would only be covered up to the deductible and that somehow he was going to have to come up with the 500 dollars before the car could be fixed. He had supposed he had done due diligence by going to one of those car insurance quotes sites  and finding the lowest priced quote. He had thought by getting cheap car insurance he had beat the system somehow. In reality, his cheap car insurance turned out to be crappy car insurance. His problem stemmed from a lack of information about his car insurance. <p><p>Before you buy your next auto insurance policy be sure you know all of the facts about the company's service policies. Cheap car insurance is only cheap if the product is as good as the more expensive car insurance. A good place to start is with a free car insurance quote, however obtaining an auto insurance quote is not going to be enough unless you know what kind of service you expect and whether or not the company quoted will provide it. The two A's will keep you straight. They are, Assets and Assistance.<p><p>Assets<p><p>You want to make certain that your car insurance quote includes every asset you could want or need in an emergency. When you are high and dry without a car, will your insurance cover your transportation needs? Check to make certain that the company you are buying car insurance from will provide you with an auto rental if something goes wrong. If your car is stolen--as my friend's was-- undrivable, or in the car repair shop for a few days you want to make certain that a car will be available to you. If not, you will be forced to call your in-laws and give them one more reason why you aren't good enough for their daughter. Check that you have road-side assistance, some variation on lock-out service, and towing service provided by some insurance company. Remember the car insurance quote is only low if the car insurance product is good. <p><p>Assistance<p><p>Find out what the auto insurance company's customer service is like before you buy from them. How do you find out something like that? First, there is no way to know for certain what type of people you will end up dealing with, but there are ways to know the probability of having a good experience. First, there is the low tech way of asking your family and friends what their experiences have been. The lemon auto insurance companies will immediately pop up in a network search of that kind, but let's say that you are a hermit and have no family or friends, or like one friend of mine, your family is all from the catskill mountains without cars or running water. If that is the case then you will need to try the high tech method: use the internet. One way is to make use of the Better Business Bureau's search engine. At <a href="http://www.betterbusinessbureau.org" target=new>www.betterbusinessbureau.org</a> you can find if any complaints have been registered against the auto insurance company in question and whether or not the company has resolved those complaints. I have checked the auto insurance companies that have treated my family poorly and they all seem to have a complaint--not made by me--against their name. <p><p>Another way to check the customer service of a company is to find a claims telephone number on their website and call it up. If their claims people are nice to you, the likelihood of the customer service being a positive team has just raised. After you have assessed the courtesy level of the auto insurance company's service department, then politely thank them for their time and hang up. No explanation necessary, they will just move on to their next call without giving you another thought. This technique is based on the theory that there are two kinds of companies: the ones who stock their sales teams with friendly people and put all the low-paid mean folks in their claims departments and the ones who stock both with friendly,  professionals. Usually, this simple test will tell you the type of company with which you are dealing. <p><p>If the quoted auto insurance policy has both the assets you desire and a high quality of customer service, then the quote is a true quote. Remember if you think you might end up actually using the car insurance--which we should all assume we will--then check these two things before running after the apparently low premiums. <p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Kinney Dancair is a writer with interests in finance, real estate, and business.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Auto Service Contracts 101: The Need-To-Know Facts</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Gregory Ashton</b><p><p><p><p>Today, buying car is not just simply buying a car. This is because when a person wants to buy a car, there are many additional services that tag along. One great example of these so-called ?extras? is the auto service contract.<p><p>These auto service contracts are not necessarily required by most car dealers. However, most car buyers are enticed to get one in order to protect themselves against unforeseen circumstances such as expensive car repairs.<p><p>Generally, auto service contracts are pledges made by the agency, usually the car dealer, responsible to provide the necessary services or repairs that the buyer or the contract holder is entitled for.<p><p>The problem with some people is that they categorize auto service contract as the same with extended car warranties. What they do not know is that car warranties are normally included in the price of the new car bought while auto service contracts can be obtained any time even if the person did not buy a new car. Moreover, auto service contracts are always an additional cost for the car buyer meaning he may or may not obtain an auto service contract.<p><p>However, just like the other financial decisions, careful deliberation is extremely important before making some final decisions. This is because not all auto service contracts are made equal.<p><p>Here is a list of the factors that need to be considered when getting an auto service contract:<p><p>1. Buyers should be aware of the terms and conditions stipulated in the auto service contract.<p><p>In every agency or company that provides auto service contracts, each has its own terms and conditions. Hence, it is important for every buyer to know first the terms as stipulated in the contract so as to know what kinds of details are included and what are those that are not included.<p><p>2. Buyers should know the specific entity who will perform the required services.<p><p>In this way, the buyer would know what goes on when a certain service is required. In this way, the contract holder would know where to ask for the repairs and to whom they should ask for the needed services.<p><p>3. Know the reputation of those who will provide auto service contracts.<p><p>It is extremely important to know how long the company or the dealer has been in the business. Along with it comes the reputation that has been built for so many years of reliable services and performances that the customers were able to testify.<p><p>The important thing here is that people should be aware of what they are paying for. After all, it?s their money that is at risk.<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Gregory Ashton, your resident automobile enthusiast, bringing to you over 20 years of vehicular passion, and expertise; presents for your approval his insider secrets on selecting, buying, and maintianing the car that is ideal for you. <a href="http://www.best-car-buying-tips.com" target=new>http://www.best-car-buying-tips.com</a>.<p><p><p><p><p></td></tr><p></table>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Your Auto Insurance Company For Extra Money?</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Joe Folger</b><p><p><p><p>Most people, once they have an auto insurance company,<p>simply just let their current policy renew and renew without<p>checking to see if maybe they can get a better deal<p>somewhere else.  If that describes you, maybe you would look<p>into exploring your options if you knew how and painless it<p>really is. This article will show you just how easy the <p>process is.<p><p><p>Shopping for a new auto insurance company<p><p><p>The easiest and quickest and as a result the most painless<p>way to shop for auto insurance is to go on the internet.<p>Many companies can give you quotes 24/7 on their websites.<p>You can also get contact information for a particular auto<p>insurance company on their site and call them up on the<p>telephone.  When considering switching companies, the first<p>thing to do is to get comparison rate quotes from several<p>companies.  <p><p><p>You do want to be very truthful about all your information <p>so that you can get accurate quotes.  The company will find <p>out about any accidents, claims or traffic tickets anyway, <p>so don't try to hide anything.  Also, when you get <p>comparison rate quotes, make sure you compare the coverage <p>you have with your current auto insurance company to what is <p>available with any new company so that you can make a <p>comparison that makes sense.<p><p><p>How to switch<p><p><p>Once you have found a new auto insurance company and<p>purchased your new policy you must cancel your old policy.<p>If you don't cancel your old policy the old auto insurance<p>company could assume you wished to continue your insurance<p>with them.  They would be expecting to receive premiums from<p>you.  When they don't receive those premiums they would<p>eventually cancel your policy due to unpaid premiums and<p>report your lack of coverage to the Department of Motor<p>Vehicles of your state.  This could affect your credit and<p>your ability to get a new auto insurance policy.<p><p><p>Canceling your old policy is easy.<p><p><p>Usually, all you need to do is to inform your old auto<p>insurance company in writing, telling them when you would<p>like the policy cancelled.  They will then send you a form<p>to sign and return, which in effect will cancel your policy.<p><p><p>One thing to note<p><p><p>Do not cancel your policy from your old auto insurance<p>company until the insurance is actually in effect with the<p>new insurer.  This way you avoid any lapse in coverage.<p>However, nowadays there is little chance of that happening.<p>Most states require all drivers to carry a minimum amount of<p>insurance and your old auto insurance company will probably<p>require you to show proof of insurance before they will<p>cancel an active policy.<p><p><p>When you switch is very important<p><p><p>The best time to switch to a new auto insurance company is<p>when the current policy is about to expire.  When you<p>receive your policy renewal notice from your current auto<p>insurance company is the best time to switch.  This is<p>usually about a month before the current policy is actually<p>going to expire.  It is during this period when you can<p>switch insurers without incurring any fees or penalties.<p><p><p>Also, because it is so close to the end of the policy term<p>you would avoid trying to figure out the amount of unused<p>premium that you are due from your old auto insurance<p>company.  You also avoid arguing with your insurance agent<p>about exactly when you cancelled and how much the auto<p>insurance company owes you.<p><p><p>But yes, you can cancel outside of the 30 day period<p>If after taking into account the fee or penalty you may have<p>to pay you may find that you still would get appreciable<p>savings. So, while it is best you switch within that 30 day<p>renewal period, you can actually cancel at any time.<p><p><p>Are you ready?<p><p><p>That's all there is to it. Just think of all that extra<p>money that could be coming your way if you follow these<p>simple guidelines.<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Joe Folger with his extensive insurance experience writes<p>for <a href="http://www.autoinsurancecompanyinfo.com" target=new>http://www.autoinsurancecompanyinfo.com</a> and further<p>information about almost any particular auto insurance company<p>can certainly be found there.<p><p><p><p><p></td></tr><p></table>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>An Investing/Insurance Alternative</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Jeff Lakie</b><p><p><p><p>Segregated funds are the insurance company's answer to mutual funds. There are many differences and similarities but if you are putting together a financial plan that includes insurance and investments, you'll probably want to consider a segregated fund.<p><p>Segregated funds are also called individual variable insurance contracts (IVIC's) and they'll be offered by a many insurance companies. Like mutual funds, they are investment vehicles, but like insurance, they have guarantees and tax advantages.<p><p>How are they like mutual funds?<p><p>Like mutual funds, you can choose to put your segregated fund money into any number of different types of segregated fund. For example you can choose growth oriented funds or bond funds or some combination of both, which provide you with an investment vehicle that matches your goals.<p><p>How are they like insurance products?<p><p>But there are four insurance-related aspects of segregated funds that make them an attractive product for many people.<p><p>1.	First, is the maturity guarantee. A segregated fund offers a guarantee of at least 75% after 10 years (although some segregated funds offer maturity guarantees of 100%!).<p><p>2.	As well, segregated funds offer attractive death benefits, which work in a similar way to the maturity guarantee: your survivors will receive the difference between the guaranteed amount and the market value of the fund at your death.<p><p>3.	Because segregated funds are insurance products, they also offer creditor protection, so that if creditors seize your assets, they cannot touch your segregated fund.<p><p>4.	Lastly, segregated funds bypass probate so that you can easily transfer the money to a beneficiary upon your death without the costly fees associated with probate.<p><p>Like all insurance and investment vehicles, segregated funds are not for everyone. For example, the guarantees do bring a higher cost in order to enjoy the segregated fund. However, segregated funds are growing in popularity, so many people feel that the guarantees are worth the cost.<p><p>These are just highlights of segregated funds. There are many more aspects you should be aware of. But, if you're interested in a segregated fund and what one can do for your financial portfolio, contact your insurance company and see if they sell them. If they do not, you can probably find another insurance company that will be able to help you if you look around.<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Jeff Lakie is the founder of <a href="http://www.my-boat-insurance.info" target=new>http://www.my-boat-insurance.info</a> and <a href="http://www.my-renters-insurance.info" target=new>http://www.my-renters-insurance.info</a> websites providing information on Insurance.<p><p><p><p><p></td></tr><p></table>]]></content:encoded>
