Best Answer

Underwriting begins when you first speak with an insurance agent. An experienced agent will ask you questions to help you decide what insurance coverage you need and can afford. I remember when underwriting would take 3-4 weeks to complete but now with new technology, I as the agent am able to access your driving record, claims report, CLUE Report (Shows possible other drivers that may be driving your vehicles and/or living in your home), and credit reports immediately or in a matter of seconds. If you are truthful with the agent up front they can help determine which insurance company will give you the best pricing and coverage with your situation.

What are the underwriting considerations in insurance?

In general, underwriting involves the assessment of risks. Insurance companies have "underwriting guidelines" that define the metes and bounds of the risks they are willing to accept. Those metes and bounds are defined, in turn, by the type of insurance that the insurer issues. That is, the underwriting considerations for a life insurance company involve factors such as age and health, whereas underwriting considerations for an insurer that issues automobile physical damage coverage involves considerations such as make and model of the auto, where the auto is principally kept, number of miles driven, and driving history. The totality of the underwriting factors, in part, determine the premium that the insurer will charge for the insurance.
