FAQs About Insurance
- Why has my auto insurance premium increased when I've had no accidents or violations, ever?
Each insured's premium is based on a wide variety of factors. Some examples are the number of drivers on your policy, driving history, the number of vehicles, the age and type of your vehicle(s), and your location. Insurance companies typically have premium discounts available for qualifying circumstances such as claims-free, multi-car, mature driver, anti-lock brakes, and companion policy discounts, to name a few. Give us a call at 281-376-4263 to determine which discounts you may qualify for! - Is there anything I can do to keep my auto insurance premium as low as possible?
Yes! There are things you can do to guard against rate increases or qualify for premium discounts: drive safely, paying attention to your driving and other drivers nearby, consider combining your home and auto policies for the companion policy discount, install an anti-theft alarm system, and combine all of your household's cars into one policy to take advantage of the multi-car discount.
