Read An Opinion On:
By Jim Bassett
When trying to decide which insurance company to contract with people often look for the top 10 auto insurance companies. This is a good place to start though considering that these companies will have an established reputation that extends for decades. But the truth is that they are not always as good as people say they are. So as an alternative it is best to have a list of things you look for in an insurance company and then decide for yourself which is the best.
What I have often observed with a large number of insurance companies is that they tell you they are reliable and you should totally depend on them. There are some companies that meet this promise but it is not always the case. It is so hard to find a company you can rely on. Reliability comes to the fore when it comes to compensation after an accident or theft.
According to the contract of insurance that you sign there are terms and conditions about compensation and the insurer is obliged to compensate after a certain duration of time. But sometimes they ignore these provisions and do as they like.
I mention reliability because there will be situations when you need to get back on the road as soon as possible. Now if the company has not reimbursed you you stand to lose out on a lot of business or even work opportunities. Reliability is the most important thing.
An insurance company might be reliable but slow to respond. If at all a third party is injured and they need urgent medical attention speed is of utmost importance. Speed and efficiency are again important because you might still need to go to work the next day or the following Monday. And even though there are alternative forms of transport slow compensation will definitely upset plans already made.
The common misconception is that an expensive insurance policy is the best. This is sometimes true when it comes to clothes and shoes but with insurance you can’t depend on this philosophy. Rather look for a company that is cheap and efficient at the same time. This will save you a lot of money and time at the same time.
But this does not mean that expensive companies are not worth it. If you can afford expensive cover that has an established reputation then go for it. In addition to this a company that lowers premiums according to changes you make to your car and your driving record are listed in the top 10. Companies that lower premiums when you install alarm systems and trackers are respectable. Some don’t even care about this at all and they are in the top 10, think about that.
And sometimes you get discounts on insurance when you get a defensive driving course. And if your child gets good grades at school his/her insurance costs will be discounted. This is what top ten insurance companies must have on offer. Without this then what sort of rankings are they.
