Having adequate Car Insurance limits is serious business
Because we are 100% independent, we can take your current coverages and compare them with a wide range of insurance providers to see who offers you the best deal possible. The best part? It doesn’t cost you a penny more to use us. We are compensated by the insurance carriers directly, and work on your behalf to properly cover your needs and exposures, and make sure that there are no hidden gaps in your policy.
No two insurance contracts are the same, and while two policies side-by-side might look the same, the fine print behind the cover page can vary drastically from company to company.
This means you need someone who truly understands policy contracts, like us, to sort through the exclusions and conditions for you, so you can rest easy knowing that you have the best possible coverage at the best price without having to learn legal jargon.

Collision Coverage
This is the part of your policy that covers your car in the event you damage the car itself somehow, as a result of an accident with a fixed or moving object like another car, a curb, a house, a guard rail, etc..
Comprehensive Coverage
This coverage also protects your car, but in the event that something else damages your car, that is not a fixed, or moving object. For example, theft, a rock that cracks your windshield, an animal you might hit, and so on.
Property Damage
Suppose you damage someones car in an accident, or a guard rail, house, or some other property that belongs to someone else. This is the part of your policy that compensates the other person for that damage
Bodily Injury Liability
This coverage protects your financial interest in the event you injure another party in an accident. This is the part of your policy that pays that other party for their medical bills and related expenses.
Un-insured & Under-insured Liability
This coverage pays you, in the event that you are injured by another party, and that other party was either unidentified, or they weren’t carrying a high enough limit of Bodily Injury Liability to cover your expenses.
Need an SR-22 Filing?
An SR-22 is not actually insurance, but rather a certification that an insurer files to vouch for a risky driver. It’s a way to verify insurance with the minimum liability coverage limits for drivers who have been ordered to obtain this by a judge.
There is typically a reasonable fee charged for filing and rates may be a bit higher and/or you may be required to pay your policy in full depending on the state you’re in so be sure to ask.
Also, keep in mind that an SR-22 filing in Pennsylvania is for a period of time, typically no more than 3 years and can be removed after the specified time.
Common Auto Insurance Rating Variables
Age
Insurance companies use your age in their overall rating algorithms. Drivers who are under 25, and over 65 typically don’t get preferred rates because statistics show that those two age demographics have the most loss frequency and are therefore more at risk for financial loss due to an auto accident.
Credit
Credit is a metric that has been used in insurance scoring for many years. The better your credit, the more favorable your rates will usually be.
Car
The type of car, engine size, safety features, etc.. are all part of determining the rate.
Driving History
Your driving record and loss history plays a substantial role in the price. If you have a spotty driving history, or multiple moving violations or accidents, chances are, you won’t get a preferred rate until those things are at least 3 years old.
Household
Insurance companies underwrite at the household level, meaning they try to judge based on the entire household, what the probability of loss will be. If there are multiple drivers in the house who are under the age of 25, that will impact everyone’s pricing in the household.
