CURE Auto Insurance Ad that crosses the line re: language. Granted it is surprising and a little humorous but it lowers the line of where vulgarity is acceptable. This one aired during halftime of Rutgers vs USF, October 18, 2007. It was NOT the first time it has been aired. The full ad is a series of 3 mini-ads played one after the other. The first two were tame, then this was the last.

What is the cheapest motor vehicle insurance company in NY right now?I wanted to know if anyone knew of any good insurance companies with low rates. I'm kinda sick of the one I have now Geico. Service is not great, guess they spend too much money on commercials and none on customer service. Any info would be great! Thanks.
If mom hasn't paid the renewal premium, you can always send a check for it or reinstatement; just ask mom for the bill or call her agent/company. When you get the new/renewal policy, you'll get a new ID card; take that on the court date and you should be OK. If there was a lapse, though, you might still get a fine.
Most people who get vehicle insurance don't "meet with an accident". Otherwise it would cost a lot more.
Unless you mean, you want to get vehicle insurance to COVER an accident you've already had. It's too late for that.
Or, maybe you mean, you want to buy it, without meeting an agent. So buy it over the internet, at http://www.progressive.com.
Whether a PAP (personal auto) or BAP (commercial auto), the same rules & laws applies when resolving auto claims. The only difference is the amount of liability carried by each…BAP's are generally much higher than PAP. So to answer your question, NO a commercial carrier will not "replace" your totaled out vehicle. Both carriers have a duty to settle claims fairly & do their best to keep their insured out of court.
As for the settlement of a total loss….the law states if it's cheaper to total the car than repair it because the repairs exceed the value of the car, then the car must be totaled. Financially it doesn't make sense, whether it's your neighbor paying or some company with deeper pockets than your neighbor. You do have the option to "retain salvage," where you keep the car & you receive the value of your vehicle less the salvage amount. At that point you can pay to have it repaired if you want but the insurance won't give you additional money during the repair process to pay it b/c you have been compensated…you do not get to benefit from both.
My professional experience with commercial carriers has been they penny pinch right down to the last penny, and rarely ever do they directly pay a claim without it going thru subrogation first. On the rare chance they have stepped up and taken the repairs on first hand they have been slow to respond, slow to issue payments.
If your car is a total loss, have BOTH carriers provide you with a t/l offer and go with who ever gives you the higher amount.
CARCO. When you switch or newly insure a vehicle that is not brand new, they (the insurance company) must take photos of the vehicle. This protects the insurer from you should you try to commit insurance fraud. Example: If they did not take the photos, you could very easily insure a 2000 Honda Civic with collision coverage, a few days later, you could call in a claim and say somebody blasted your car while you were in the parking lot. However, that damage could have already been present. It's just the way insurance companies protect themselves.
Call a local independent agent. Independent agencies will have multiple markets to shop you to. You can also try direct write companies like Allstate, Farmers etc. Who does your personal insurance right now? Give them a call first and see what they might have available.
If you need to drive and use your own car to do the job… yes.
I can't see needing a full commercial policy, but there is probably a designation that covers newspapers, pizza, chinese food, and other part-time delivery occupations. Newspaper (pizza, food, etc) delivery persons in Manitoba register and insure passenger vehicles as "common carrier local", which is about 10% higher premiums than regular all-purpose. Good luck.
I don't think you should pay it!!
If you own you vehicle free and clear of the bank..you have to have liability insurance to cover damage you might do to someone else.
It is generally cheap.
If you owe money to the bank for your car and the bank has your title, then the bank will require full insurance to protect their collateral ..your car.
The reason why is simple..before those laws were in effect, folks without insurance would ram someones car..hurting the driver and destroying their transportation then show up in court saying.
I am broke so too bad about your medical bills and your car…sue me all you want, I have not money to collect.
That is why most states (if not all) require at least liability insurance…to protect the other drivers from irresponsible drivers.
