invented-car-insuranceWhen dealing with car insurance companies, it is often quite difficult for you, as the consumer to know exactly what is covered in your policy.  To be honest, I had no idea what was in my policy until I actually took a look at it and then I actually understood what was covered and what wasn’t.  I encourage all of you to do the same, it is amazing what many car insurance companies do not cover at all and to be honest, I think that towing and labor is something that every single car insurance company should cover.

If you run out of gas, have car problems, get in a car accident or have a flat tire, your car insurance company should definitely cover all of the towing and labor costs, but you would be amazed at how many companies do not cover this and that’s sad.

So really, look over your policy and make sure that you know exactly what is covered and what isn’t.  It could be the matter of you having to pay for through the nose or not!

Can Drunk Driving Impact Your Car Insurance Premium?

drunk-driving-stop-293x300Drunk driving is something that is extremely difficult to deal with.  If you are a person that is willing to drunk drive, the first tip that I have for you is don’t.  Even if you have had just one drink, you still want to make sure that someone else is going to drive.  That way you can be sure that you are not only not going to harm yourself but other people out there as well!

Now, onto the car insurance part of this post – drunk drinking can definitely make your premium go up if you get a DUI and honestly, it is not going to be a cheap raise up in your premium either.  You are going to have to pay a lot of money out of your pocket, not only in legal fees, but every six months or monthly via your car insurance payment.

So remember, drunk driving is not good for anyone – honestly, it isn’t.  So just don’t do it, it really is not worth it!
