Making the Switch to High Risk Auto Insurance, Part II
In the last post I talked about the sticker shock that I had experienced when I first got my California auto insurance. Just coming off my parents’ policy had not prepared me for the prices that I would be paying on my own - as a single, relatively new driver. However I had a good record and honestly my rates were really quite good considering my age. That all changed however when I found myself in the position of having to find California high risk car insurance. This was something that I needed after I had my license suspended for a series of traffic violations. These were not good days for me and certainly something that I seriously regret but, regret aside, I had to deal with the present situation on hand.
Getting my license back required me to now carry SR22 insurance by law - at least for a period of time. My insurance company did not provide high risk auto insurance so I needed to move on and find a policy that would cover me at a pice that I could at least realistically afford.
When I did my research online I was surprised at how many insurance companies offered high risk auto insurance and also how much the policies differed between companies. I spent my time identifying the insurance companies that were reputable and then looking at their high risk policies closely. All policies were not the same; I had to look closely to make sure that they gave the coverage that I needed. Once I identified each company I asked for a car insurance quote. California had much to offer in terms of high risk auto insurance; it was my job to seek out the best and most affordable among each of the policies so that I could find what I needed to get back to driving.
