After the age of 70, drivers begin to be considered high-risk. The statistical data presented by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) shows an increase of accident frequency for elderly drivers. As a result, insurers place seniors in the high-risk category. Drivers who seek better coverage should follow the next tips:


  • Apply for a low-mileage discount. Retired people who do not have to commute to work drive less than the average driver. They should apply for low mileage discounts that will drastically reduce the costs. In these driving courses, senior citizens will find out how aging and medication affect their ability to drive and how to deal with certain age-related conditions.
  • Graduate refresher/defensive driving courses. They will give the driver the chance to recap the theoretical knowledge and practice his driving skills. Classes are cheap and will provide valuable discounts after graduation.
  • Install anti-theft devices. On the market, there are multiple types of devices that will make your vehicle safer against the thieves. Electronic alarms, ignition kill switches, GPS tracking systems, steering wheel locks, electronic immobilizers, and many other safety devices will help drivers acquire a discount.
  • Use a cheaper car. A new model can be quite expensive to insure. Instead, drivers should choose a 4-5 years old model which also has some safety devices installed. These devices may even qualify the driver for a discount.
  • Pay-in-full. It might be difficult for an elderly person to pay a large amount of cash, but paying the car insurance policy at once has its benefits. The policyholder can get a 5 percent to 10 percent discount that occurs from eliminating monthly interest charges and administration fees.
  • Join a UBI program. Allow the insurer to install a small telematics device inside the vehicle. This device will record mileage, sudden changes in speed, hard braking, cornering, and the time of day when the vehicle is driven. The insurer will customize the price based on this data.
  • Shop online quotes. The best places to shop for online auto insurance quotes are brokerage websites. In order to get accurate estimates, senior citizens should be careful when they complete the questionnaires and make sure they provide accurate data. It is recommended to complete at least three car quotes in order to make an idea of how their policy would look like.

Topa and Hippo Announce Mutual Decision to Transition Partnership


Topa Insurance Company (Topa), a leading specialty property-casualty insurer, and Hippo Enterprises Inc. (Hippo), a technology-driven homeowners insurtech, today announced their mutual decision to transition their partnership. This move supports Topa’s strategy to devote more effort and resources to commercial line products, shifting away from personal line products. Following the transition, Hippo customer policies with Topa will be underwritten by Spinnaker Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hippo, without any interruption in service or coverage. Spinnaker is a national property and casualty insurer licensed in 50 states and rated A- (Excellent) by A.M. Best Company.

Hippo has partnered with Topa since 2017 to provide home insurance products, which are now available in eight western states. The strength of the partnership has allowed both companies to build their core businesses over the last three years, supporting the national expansion of Hippo’s insurance business available in 31 states currently.

“Topa has been instrumental in advancing the growth of our business to reach more homeowners,” said Rick McCathron, President of Hippo. “Hippo’s focused on providing our customers with the best possible experience through insurance products, smart home devices, and home services. We’re looking forward to offering our existing customers access to the same great Hippo products underwritten by Spinnaker Insurance Company.”

Topa, an A- (Excellent) A.M. Best-rated property and casualty insurance carrier, admitted in 22 states, will continue to offer its commercial auto, commercial package, and other casualty products through wholesale brokers and managing general agents (MGAs). In addition, Topa is one of the leading insurers in the cannabis industry, currently writing in 22 states, with plans to continue to grow and expand its cannabis-related presence and products into additional states. Topa’s writings are supported by both Topa’s strong capital base and a panel of highly-rated reinsurance partners.

Hippo will continue to operate as an MGA with its premiums underwritten by Spinnaker Insurance and is in the final stages of discussions with additional carriers to continue to drive its growth across the country. The company plans to accelerate its geographical expansion to be available to consumers in 11 additional states by June 2021.

Former Insurance Executives give captive Insurance Agency & Aggregator models a run for their money and Launch Ready to Launch Business INC


So, you want to open an Insurance Agency. Up to now, you have had three basic options:

1) Go captive, gaining instant recognition and brand name awareness, but forever limiting your options on types of insurance you can write and lines of business you can pursue. Your future is left to the corporate board and a group of underwriters. If they decide to increase your largest client’s renewal by 30%, or completely change course on a specific class of customers you have worked to develop a niche with, there is not much you can do.

2) Go Independent, tying your agency to a national aggregator who collects a very good portion of your commission and oftentimes owns a portion of your book of business in some way, shape or form.

3) Go it alone as an Independent Insurance Agency and hope for the best. 92% of Agencies that choose this path end up failing.

Former Insurance Executives Abraham & Roshena Boling have a plan to change that.

Nearly 10 years ago, Abraham & Roshena Boling started Contractors Insurance NW INC in a spare bedroom of their house and grew it into a massive operation, spanning five states and insuring thousands of contractors. “In the early days, it was really tough” recalls Abraham Boling, Contractors Insurance NW’s former CFO & COO. “We would drive sometimes a couple hundred miles one way to get a check that would pay a bill to keep us going for just a few more days, until we had to make another sale. At one point, I turned to Roshena and said ‘it’s a good thing we’re doing this now, because I’m never starting another business again.'”

You know what they say, never say never. Fast forward a decade, past many trials and errors, developed, re-developed, and re-re-developed systems and processes, and most importantly, many successes, Abe & Roshena found themselves getting a little bored. “Our Agency had grown to five states and had thousands of clients, and unless one of our key employees was out sick or on vacation, we found ourselves with little to do” says former Contractors Insurance Northwest CEO Roshena Boling.

The couple ended up spending almost a year in Hawaii, homeschooling their four children. Abraham commented, “It was a pretty awesome experience and something not a lot of people get to do”. Still, something was missing. The Bolings found themselves with an interesting problem: the Agency ran so efficiently due to the incredible systems and processes developed by Roshena Boling that really, there wasn’t much for them to do. “During our time in Hawaii, I spent a lot of time in the pool, we drove to different parts of our island, visited a neighboring island, hiked through incredible volcanic landscapes, but over time, we just started talking about what we wanted to do next. What our next adventure would be. By nature, Roshena and I are workers, so not having anything pressing to do goes against the very nature of who we are.” said Abe.

After many ideas, the Bolings figured out what their next big move would be: Helping up & coming Entrepreneurs succeed. At first, they were going to take a wide approach and retro-fit their systems and processes to fit any industry, but they quickly realized what, to the rest of us, was the obvious: they could make the biggest impact in the industry they know like the back of their hand: Insurance.

Now, they have Launched “Ready to Launch Business INC”, whose tagline is “We Build & Scale Insurance Agencies”. “I see myself, 10 years ago, in almost everyone I talk to” says Abe. “I am so excited for us to help all of these people succeed”.

Abe & Roshena took the most challenging aspects of starting and scaling an Independent Insurance Agency and developed custom “business packages” to address the needs of each category. Categories include helping Agency Owners get appointed with companies to write insurance through; setting up & utilizing an industry leading client management system; custom built websites; developing strategic sales and advertising plans; developing effective and efficient back-end systems and processes; developing logos; ongoing consultative support & sales training and more.

Agents that are either currently independent or looking to become independent can purchase these packages individually, or they can choose all the packages, known as the “Complete Agency Setup”.

Abe Boling ended with: “In 10 years from now, I’m excited for us to look back and see all the lives that were changed because of their partnership with Ready to Launch Business. The way we did business certainly changed our lives and I’m absolutely positive it will do the same thing for other people.”

Car Insurance Guide – How To Get Accurate Online Quotes


News Image

“It is possible to get really accurate car insurance quotes. All you have to do is to provide correct info and use extended online questionnaires”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains how drivers can get accurate car insurance quotes online.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/tips-getting-accurate-car-insurance-quotes/

Using the internet to get price estimates is really easy and reliable. After adding all the required details and coverage selections, the user will get matched with several companies. Using this type of service, a user can quickly narrow down his search to companies that match his requirements. In order to get accurate quotes, a driver should:


  • First determine his coverage needs. It all starts with knowing what the driver wants to purchase. Besides buying the minimum coverage required by the state, a driver may need additional coverage, depending on his car and budget. People who own new, valuable models, should purchase full coverage. People that do not have a solid health/life insurance coverage, should also consider buying PIP/Medicare insurance. If a person has more than one vehicle, it may be wise to opt for multi-vehicle plans. Also consider bundling policies. This will save drivers a lot of money. Besides that, determine the most convenient deductible levels and add-ons.
  • Determine the insurance budget. Knowing the available insurance money will help the driver opt for higher coverage limits, higher deductibles and several add-ons. Online quotes will help drivers design a coverage plan within those limits. Furthermore, the driver can simulate “pay-in-full” and see the total cost of the coverage plan and how much he can save. With “pay-in-full”, drivers can save around 15%-20% on car insurance.
  • Keep relevant documents nearby. Having the right documents near will help the driver provide correct info about the car’s model and sub-model, existing safety devices and driving history. Keep in mind that online questionnaires may also ask about things like the exact sub-model, including the number of cylinders. Providing exact info about the car is a must. Companies can void coverage if the driver sends the wrong data. Plus, keep in mind that companies use this data to calculate the Actual Cash Value, which is used to reimburse the drivers. Sending wrong data can result in a lower ACV.
  • Provide realistic annual mileage data. Most companies consider 12.000 to be the average annual mileage for a driver. Users are asked to input the annual mileage, by either adding the value, selecting it from a range, or providing the approximate daily mileage. Lying to the insurance company will seriously backfire. Claims can be denied if the ulterior technical inspection shows much higher mileage values.
  • Use lengthy questionnaires. It is well-known the fact that a more complex questionnaire will provide better results. A user who fills out a long, in depth survey about the vehicle history, driving history, use of the vehicle, credit history, etc. and he will get a much more accurate quote. Short quote forms, while convenient, fast, and easy to use, will often times be very inaccurate. Spending 5-10 minutes to fill in all the details will be worth the time. Reputable companies embed complex questionnaires and high-speed rate calculators. They provide really accurate online quotes.

A New Article Explains Why Drivers Should Avoid Having Car Insurance Gaps


News Image

“Having car insurance lapses will complicate a future underwriting process and make premiums more expensive. Always pay the premiums on time and if they seem too expensive, use online quotes and find cheaper offers”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains why drivers should avoid car insurance lapses.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit http://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-you-should-avoid-car-insurance-gaps/

Drivers are required to carry insurance permanently. A period of time when the driver does not have coverage is called a gap or a lapse. Having a history of coverage lapses will make the next underwriting process more difficult and premiums costlier. Find out more and get free car insurance quotes from http://compare-autoinsurance.org.


  • Causing an accident while uninsured will have multiple legal consequences. Being uninsured while driving and causing an accident is a severely punished felony. Without coverage, the at fault driver will have financially compensate the victims from his own finances. The repair cost and the medical bills can reach several tens of thousands of dollars.
  • Avoid fines and legal penalties. Drivers caught driving during a gap period will receive substantial fines. Furthermore, they will receive license points. All of these combined will make future premiums extremely expensive. The driver will have both a history of lapses and traffic violations.
  • Avoid being placed in the “high-risk” category. Companies ask about past coverage when assessing a person’s insurability profile. Persons with recent coverage lapses are automatically considered high-risk and asked to pay more. Keep in mind that insurance companies may ask the previous insurer about a former client’s payment history. Furthermore, a company may decide to cancel the policy after several missed payments.

A New Article Explains Why New Cars Are More Expensive To Insure


News Image

“New cars are valuable, thus resulting in more expensive insurance”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

When insuring a new car, owners have the unpleasant surprise of finding that the costs are really high. This is why drivers should consider getting quotes before buying a car. The main arguments used by insurance companies are the following:


  • New models are really expensive to repair or replace. Hi-tech safety and tracking devices are usually installed in new models. All of these safety devices are expensive to repair if they’re damaged. New advanced technology like ventilated and massaging seats, head-up displays, heated steering wheel, also increase the price of policies. Lastly, the new alloys from which body parts are manufactured are more expensive. New aluminum alloys, carbon fiber reinforced polymer, or even new steel types are costly to produce and to repair.
  • Thieves prefer to target new models. Insurance companies will increase the insurance rates for a new car mode if there are too many claims for stolen vehicles for that model. Regularly, thieves will choose to steal new car models instead of old ones, because they are more expensive.
  • Some models don’t have stellar results on test-dummy crashes simulations. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) shows that some vehicles are riskier than others because of the way they are built. Their data shows that many new vehicles have less capacity to withstand low-impact collisions. Because of that, they can cost more to repair.
  • Adding full or extra coverage. Owners of new cars are recommended to add collision and comprehensive insurance, to be sure you are fully covered. One optional policy that brand new car owners can get is the new car replacement coverage. Overall, extra coverage means more expensive premiums.

When Should Drivers Consider Dropping Full Auto Insurance Coverage


News Image

“In some cases, it makes sense to drop full coverage”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that explains when drivers should drop full coverage, thus saving important sums of money on car insurance.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/how-to-lower-car-insurance-rates-by-dropping-full-coverage/

Keeping full coverage is the right thing to do, but only if the car is valuable or the policyholder is still making payments. Drivers should drop full coverage in the following circumstances:


  •     The car is too old. Unless the vehicle is a collectible or a classic, its value has significantly decreased after several years since it was purchased. Maintenance and low mileage are irrelevant for old cars.
  •     The car has high mileage. If the odometer shows that the car was driven for 150,000 miles or even 200,000 miles, its value will be severely reduced. Even for a 4-5-year-old automobile.
  •     The car is damaged This one is obvious. Keeping full coverage on a dust-bucket is one sure way to end up overpaying.
  •     After fully owning the car. When the car is financed by a bank or other financial institution, they will impose the owner to have full coverage. Once the loan is paid, he can choose to keep or drop the full coverage.
  •     The car is kept in a garage. This will provide protection against weather damage, theft, vandalism, and fire. After dropping full coverage, the owner will have to be careful how he drives and not cause accidents. Otherwise, he will support the full costs of repairing his vehicle.

What Factors Influence Car Insurance Costs The Most


News Image

“Insurance companies analyze multiple factors when they calculate rates. It’s all about risk and insurance companies what to know if they will provide coverage to a safe driver or not”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Auto insurance is a risk-based business. Providing insurance to people more likely to make a claim is a sure way to financial bankruptcy. This is why insurance companies rely heavily on statistics, carefully analyze a series of factors, and rate persons using insurability scores. Find out the top influential factors and get free car insurance quotes online from https://compare-autoinsurance.org.

  • ZIP code. Besides the state’s laws and the geo-economic profile of a region, the risk profile is determined on the neighborhood level. When we talk about larger cities or metropolitan areas, certain neighborhoods are more dangerous than others. High criminality and ongoing gang wars, riots and vandalism will surely affect the rates. Furthermore, the cost of repairing a car in a certain area or road conditions and population density will also count in.
  • Driving record. Is a top influential factor and companies will thoroughly analyze it before issuing any policy. The insurance companies will analyze both the number of accidents involving a person and his number of claims in recent years.
  • Vehicle details. The model of the car is another crucial factor and drivers must provide correct data and show papers when asked. Insurance companies will analyze statistics to check the accident frequency for that particular model, car theft frequency, and if there are any known problems with it. Medium-sized family cars are cheaper to insure and are considered safer. Sports cars or customized cars are pricier to insure. The safety rating is also an important factor.
  • Coverage lapses. Having insurance gaps is heavily penalized by all insurers. A new client that has coverage gaps is not considered trustworthy and will be charged more. Before changing to a new company, make sure to synchronize the start of the new policy with the end of the current one.
  • Credit score. Persons with a poor credit score are seen as unreliable and are expected not to manage premium payments well. This is the main reason why persons with poor FICO score are considered high-risk.
