Answers:
1. FALSE – Insurance companies do not factor the color of your car into your rates because there has been no studies that have shown a correlation to accidents and vehicle color.
2. FALSE – Your car is your responsibility! And guess what, even though you weren’t present at the time of the accident, you still will receive a mark on your insurance record and your insurance premium could go up.
3. FALSE – The government has nothing to do with your car insurance rate. Where you live, your credit score, marital status and your driving record is what actually affects your premium.
4. FALSE – That new vehicle is not necessarily covered. Some automobile policies require that the policyholder notify the insurance company or agent within a specified number of days, the only way to know for sure is to contact your agent.
5. TRUE – Male drivers under 25 years pay more for insurance than any other group because they are typically involved in more automobile accidents.
6. FALSE – Your credit score really does matter! Many carriers take your credit score into consideration when deciding to increase or renew your auto insurance coverage.
7. FALSE – You need to purchase comprehensive coverage in order to be protected from someone stealing your vehicle.
8. FALSE – That means that your insurance company pays for your damages regardless of who’s at fault but it doesn’t mean you can’t be determined to be at fault for the accident and your rates can go up.
