A New Article Presents The Main Reasons Why A Car Insurance Company May Cancel Coverage


News Image

“There are many reasons that can lead to the cancelation of a policy. To avoid that, drivers should be honest with their insurers and obey the laws while driving”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains why car insurance companies might void policies.

Car insurance companies are businesses that deal with risks. Insurers survive as a business by being able to assess risk and avoid losses. To avoid losing money from various reasons, insurance companies are canceling their customers’ policies that present a risk.

The main reasons why car insurance companies are canceling policies are the following:

  • Breaking the terms of the policy. Drivers that violate the terms of their policies will likely get questioned by their insurers. For example, using a personal vehicle in commercial activities will break the terms of a personal car insurance policy and the insurer will likely void the policy.
  • Committing fraud or lying to the insurer. Drivers that are shopping for insurance or are making claims should always provide truthful information. If they are discrepancies in the provided information, then the insurer will not only void a policy but on some occasions, the insurer can deny an otherwise valid claim. Drivers should do their best to provide only honest information to their insurers. Important information like the number of drivers in the household, primary drivers of specific vehicles, and annual mileage should be reported with honesty, otherwise, the insurer might void the policy.
  • Driving badly and filing too many claims. Drivers that have serious traffic violations that are penalized by adding points to the license or even by losing the license can be in danger of losing their policies. If an insurer believes a customer poses a great risk, then they won’t hesitate to cancel the policy. Drivers that make too many claims, especially if they were at-fault drivers in many incidents, will also face the possibility of having their policies canceled by their insurers.
  • Not paying the premiums. This one is quite obvious. If a driver doesn’t pay his policy, then logically his insurers will cancel the policy. Drivers that are consistently late on paying their premiums can also get their policies voided.

Smagley has over 25 years of experience under his belt, serving as a Chief Financial Officer for a variety of both public and private equity-backed companies across industries including technology, financial services, pharmaceutical, retail, industrial, and publishing.

Prior to joining Clearcover, Smagley served as the Chief Financial Officer at Esono, where he helped more than double the company’s revenue through both acquisition and organic growth in just over a two year period. As the Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Gogo LLC, Smagley helped scale the company from under $100M to $700M in revenue. In the process, he built a world-class finance team and guided the company through its IPO. Prior to that, Smagley served for eight years as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Rand McNally, where he orchestrated a pivot from publishing to digital products. He holds a master’s degree in finance and a bachelor’s degree in economics from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Venkat has more than 15 years of experience in the Property and Casualty insurance industry. Her recent roles include leadership positions at PURE Insurance, Allianz, and Progressive. Venkat has a proven track record of delivering results through building and developing high performing practices. Her areas of expertise include insurance product management, launching innovative products, direct marketing, and predictive analytics. She holds a master’s degree from the University of Illinois in Applied Mathematics and Operations Research.

This announcement comes on the heels of another year of explosive growth for Clearcover. In January, the company closed a $50M Series C, bringing total funding to more than $104 million since its 2016 founding. Clearcover recorded sales growth of 120% year-over-year in Q2 of 2020, and is rapidly approaching the $100 million run rate milestone. In addition, the company continues to build momentum through COVID-19 as well, hiring upwards of 50 new full-time employees since March. The brand was also selected as one of the recipients of Inc.’s 2020 Best Workplaces Award.

“The opportunity in front of us is massive. To fully capture it, we need talent with great depth and experience,” said Kyle Nakatsuji, Co-Founder and CEO of Clearcover. “Norm and Vandana each add to that depth and will be key leaders in our organization as we scale our business and continue to deliver exceptional products and thoughtful experiences to our customers and partners. We’re particularly proud they have chosen to continue their already successful careers at Clearcover because both are also proven cultural leaders who share our passion for building great workplaces and developing team members at all levels.”

Based in Chicago, Clearcover has hired 120 new team members over the last 12 months. Clearcover targeted its hiring on leadership roles that would help the company achieve long-term strategic initiatives and would enhance an already strong corporate culture.

News Image

We do so much with smartphones now that giving our insureds the ability to use photos and video to capture and verify the characteristics of their property made so much sense.

Today, Mercury Insurance announced that the company is offering New York and New Jersey homeowners policyholders DIY inspection services using an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistant. Created by Flyreel, the app guides homeowners through a self-inspection of their property and gives them the option for a contactless experience, helping policyholders maintain their physical distance from those outside of the household during the COVID-19 pandemic. The AI assistant is available to download as a mobile app from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow and fun to use!”

New Mercury homeowner policyholders will be emailed a link to download the app and activate it. Then, they can complete the self-inspection at their leisure with no appointment needed. The virtual inspection is conducted with state-of-the-art AI, high fidelity video and a conversation feature to streamline the experience while capturing everything Mercury needs to accurately underwrite a policy. It also helps catalog belongings and building materials in the event the customer needs to file a claim. On average, the self-inspection process takes less than 30 minutes.

Flyreel, Mercury’s home inspection app technology partner, is the pioneer in developing advanced AI to help insurance providers protect policyholders and their property using AI-assisted, self-service inspections.

The Best Ways To Save Money On Car Insurance Premiums


News Image

“Finding cheaper car insurance premiums might look challenging for many drivers, but with the help of a few tips, anyone can find the right plan at the right price.”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org/) has launched a new blog post that presents the most common and easiest methods drivers can follow to get affordable car insurance rates.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-you-can-save-money-on-auto-insurance/

Nowadays, getting cheap car insurance that offers a lot of coverage is essential. Luckily, even in these tough times, there are many ways to get cheap car insurance. By doing proper research, drivers can find an auto insurance policy that is at the right price.

To find cheaper car insurance policies, drivers can follow the next steps:

  • Compare multiple quotes. It’s crucial to compare car insurance quotes from multiple companies. Comparison shopping can help drivers uncover cheap car insurance companies and auto insurance discounts. Drivers may discover a new company that has emerged or dropped its prices in this competitive market. Drivers should compare quotes at least once per year or if they experience a major life event such as marriage, divorce, getting a new car, or moving to a new place.
  • Bundle policies. To save money on insurance, drivers can bundle their car insurance with other insurance policies such as homeowner’s insurance, renter’s insurance, boat insurance, life insurance, or health insurance. In some cases, policyholders can save as much as 30% of the total insurance costs. Also, if they own two or more vehicles, they can get a 25% multi-car policy discount.
  • Raise the deductible. By simply raising the deductible, drivers can lower the collision and comprehensive portion of their premium. However, a higher deductible means more money out of the pocket in the event of a claim.
  • Find all the discounts that are available. To make insurance policies more affordable, car insurance companies are offering all sorts of discounts. Insurers offer discounts such as good student discounts, loyalty discounts, good driver and safe driver discounts, pay in advance discounts, or safety-feature discounts.
  • Purchase the right vehicle. Cars that cost less to repair or replace generally receive lower premiums. Family cars or minivans are usually the cheapest cars to insure.
  • Be a good driver. Insures will always check the driving record to see if a policyholder presents a high level of risk. Speeding tickets, accidents, drunk driving citations – all can make the costs of insurance to be higher. However, drivers who manage to keep a clean driving record for at least three years can get a good driver discount that can save as much as 25% of their premiums.
  • Drop unnecessary coverage. Drivers who own older vehicles that have low value should consider dropping comprehensive and collision coverage. Also, drivers can drop personal injury protection coverage or medical payment coverage (if their states don’t require to carry these coverages) if they already have an excellent health insurance plan.
  • Buy only the state-required minimum insurance. To save money on insurance, drivers can purchase only the liability insurance at the lowest legal limits required by the state to legally drive a car.
  • Drive less. Drivers who are driving fewer miles than a specified number of miles each year, usually 7,500 to 10,000 miles, can get a reduction in their base rates. Usually, the insurers require that the drivers will install a small device in their vehicles that transmit the mileage data to the company.
  • Check for group insurance discounts. Some providers offer reductions to drivers who get insurance through a group plan from their employers, professional, business, and alumni groups, other associations, or schools.
