MILWAUKEE (PRWEB)
September 16, 2019

Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina reeked havoc on our southern and eastern coastlines. With recent flooding along the Mississippi River and the near-miss of Hurricane Barry on the Gulf Coast is a reminder of the constant flood risk faced by communities and the need to be prepared for flood events.

In a new article released in the Applied Economic Perspectives & Policy, “Flood Insurance and Claims: The Impact of the Community Rating System,” Eugene Frimpong from East Carolina University and Ardian Harri, Daniel Petrolia, and John Cartwright from Mississippi State University look into what it would take to increase participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

Petrolia says, “We find a positive relationship between participation in the Community Rating System (CRS) and participation in the NFIP. However, we find that only those communities participating at the highest levels of the CRS realize real reductions in flood claims. So the policy discounts associated with CRS participation appear to be attracting more homeowners to insure, but only in very limited cases do the levels (and types) of CRS participation appear to lead to real reductions in exposure.

If you are interested in setting up an interview with Petrolia, please contact Allison Scheetz in the AAEA Business Office.

• 
      Not having the right documents will prevent drivers for getting coverage. This is one major mistake which can be easily avoided. Make a call and ask what documents to bring. Drivers should prepare the car’s papers and provide them it when asked. Furthermore, bring proof of homeownership, graduating defensive/refresher courses, receipts for custom parts, VIN number and other documents needed to provide coverage and discounts.
•     Buying coverage without fully understanding the terms of the contract is another big mistake. Carefully read each page of the contract and require additional explanations.
•     It is recommended to get quotes before negotiations. Compare prices from multiple carriers and determine the average value. Now it is easy and fast to get online quotes. It only takes several minutes.

“Teens can reduce the financial burden represented by the auto insurance. Choosing the right coverage options and keeping a responsible driving behavior will help a lot”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 17, 2019

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that informs teen drivers how to get affordable car insurance.

For more info and free quotes, visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/how-to-get-cheaper-car-insurance-for-teens/.

Teens are aware that insurance rates are extremely expensive. Their lack of experience behind the wheel and risky behaviors associated with age will make any insurer consider teens high-risk drivers. However, there are several ways to lower the costs.

Check if being added to a family plan is an advantageous deal. In this way, the teen may take advantage of several discounts offered to his parents. However, this idea may backfire, since some companies may rate the teen to all available vehicles, thus increasing the overall costs. It is wise to get online quotes, talk with insurance reps and compare costs.

Being a safe driver is extremely important. The first six months of driving for a teen are critical for lowering the car insurance rate. If he/her manage to keep the record clean for the first six months, the insurer may lower the costs upon renewal.

Students with good grades will receive a discount. A 3.0 grade point average or higher is enough for most insurers to be eligible for this discount that can range from five to ten percent.

This blog post describes more ways to save money on car insurance, including enrolling in defensive driving classes or letting the insurer monitor the teen’s driving habits.

“Drivers can be easily tempted to switch their car insurance providers. Before doing that, drivers should carefully analyze if the switch is worth it”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 21, 2019

Carinsuranceplan.org has launched a new blog post that presents the main reasons for drivers to stay with the same car insurance company.

For more info and free online car insurance quotes, please visit https://carinsuranceplan.org/top-reasons-to-stay-with-the-same-carrier/

Commercials that encourage policyholders to switch their insurance carrier, can be seen everywhere. Many drivers are tempted by the possibility of obtaining lower insurance rates and they consider to make the switch. However, this is not the case for all drivers. Before switching carriers, policyholders should carefully analyze what they will gain and what they will lose.

The main reasons to stay with the same carrier, are the following:

• 
      Obtain renewal discounts. Policyholders should ask about this discount. Insurance companies offer small discounts for drivers that stayed loyal to them for a number of years.
•     Safe driver discount. Insurance companies wish to keep safe drivers as their customers, as long as possible, since they tend to be cheaper to insure. Many insurance companies offer safe drivers discounts to those customers that remain accident-free for a number of years. If they switch to a new insurance provider, drivers will have to wait for several years before being eligible for a safe driver discount.
•     Advantageous bundling policies. Bundling policies are pretty common. Many policyholders bundle their car insurance with the homeowner’s insurance. If the current insurance provider offers a great discount on the bundled policy, drivers should think twice before switching carriers.
•     Accident forgiveness. Some insurance companies offer an option called accident forgiveness to safe drivers. Accident forgiveness will prevent the premiums paid by a driver to increase, after the first time they are involved in an accident. To earn accident forgiveness, drivers will have to drive safely for several years.
