Insurance DelimmaDepending on what state you live in check your insurance policy for Under or UN insured motorist coverage. In some states it is an elective coverage and in others you are required to carry the minimum limits.If you do not have that type of coverage your best bet is to contact an attorney. Again depending on what state you live in, some insurance carriers can go after other members of the households insurance to recoup damages. In other words, if Grandma or Uncle Bob is the one that hit you and they live with son or daughter, it may be possible to file against son or daughters policy. sue emSue them. You may not see any money for awhile, but at least you will be given a judgment and promise - which is more then you have now.

If someone borrows your car and total loss it will the insurance company pay for damages?

Yes. Collision coverage pays for damage to your vehicle, minus the deductible, regardless of who is driving it. Also, if you loan your vehicle to someone they are considered a permissive driver and you are liable for damage they cause in your vehicle even if they have their own insurance. Insurance always applies to the car not the driver.

Your insurance company will take care of the claim so that you can get back to business, then it will file against the insurance carrier of the at-fault driver.

What is the average insurance rate for 3 cars?

Car insurance rates depend on the car insured, age of driver, marital status, location of the vehicle, the driver's record of violations, and other factors. A young adult can expect an average of about $1,800 per car per year. Some insurance companies will offer a discount for multiple cars, but it is not significant. For three cars, a total premium of $5,400 would not be unusual.


Is it true that if there is no damage done to anything at all other than the driver's car that your insurance rate will not go up?

Not true. If total damages are over 750 (in CA) they will affect rates. Check with your DMV to determine what the total damages are for chargable accidents in your state. Sometimes your insurance company might "forgive" you too. and not charge.

Does the driver carry the coverage on a vehicle or is it the car?

Automobile Insurance follows the vehicle....not the driver. This said, in some cases, accidents can result in litigation in which the driver's insurance policy can also have a claim filed against it. These cases usually involve more serious accidents such as vehicular homicide and DUI. A good rule of thumb is.....you loan your car then you also loan your Auto Insurance Policy. Therefore, if you loan your car to your good old buddy or to your girlfriend or boyfriend and they total your car and cause property damage/ bodily injury......the claim is filed against YOUR auto insurance policy. Also, if you have anyone in your household, over the age of 16(regardless if they are licensed or not), you should disclose this to your insurance company. Some policies EXCLUDE drivers not listed on an Auto Insurance Policy. Don't wait until claim time and find out that you are now financially responsible for somebody elses accident!
