Lower your car insurance cost for life.
Florida Auto Plus Insurance Agency - "We never stop working for you".
Car Insurance Specialists & Florida Independent Agents
Yes, lower your Florida car insurance cost for life.  
Here's how.

1.  Company selection
It is unrealistic for an insurance agent or agency to become an expert with all available insurance companies
because there are simply too many.  
Each auto insurance company has its own set of rules, guidelines and
procedures for determining the premium (price) for a specific risk (policy).
 After many years of experience
with dozens of Florida auto insurance companies our agency has carefully selected the companies we represent.  All
of our companies consistently receive top ratings from independent rating services such as AM Best, Moody’s, and
Standard & Poor’s.  All of our companies provide exceptional customer and claims service.  Our mix of companies
provides a fair and thorough representation of the rates that are available to policyholders from any insurance
company.  
Becoming proficient with the companies we represent enables us to extract the best possible
rate that the company offers for a specific risk.

2.  Rate trend analysis
Florida car insurance companies typically revise rates and underwriting guidelines twice per year.  All revisions must
be approved by the Florida Department of Financial Services and are a matter of public record.  
Keeping up-to-
date with industry trends and the direction of specific companies is a key element in providing the
lowest rate for the life of your policy.
 Pending rate increases are easily avoided with this approach.  

3.  Life cycle events
Considering changes, before they occur, which materially affect the Florida auto insurance policy is a
key element in keeping cost low.
 A great example is when a teenager is about to receive a learner’s permit.  
Some companies will charge an additional premium when a youthful operator receives their permit.  Other companies
will not charge an additional premium until the full operators’ license is issued.  Knowing in advance saves money.

4.  Coverages, discounts & deductibles
A careful examination of policy options will detect unnecessary and redundant coverage.   Coverage of
this nature affords little or no additional protection for which a premium is collected.  An excellent and often
overlooked example of this is the work loss exclusion for Personal Injury Protection (PIP).  This exclusion eliminates
compensation for lost wages if you are unable to work due to a car accident.  An unemployed or retired individual
has no need for this coverage.  There are numerous insurance discounts which are not obvious or automatic.  
Advance quoting, advance placement and hybrid vehicles are a few examples.  We utilize every discount offered to
lower premium for the benefit of our policyholders.  
Raising a deductible will lower premium.  Choosing a higher
deductible on PIP medical benefits is sensible when other health insurance is available.

5.  Rate tier assessment
All insurance companies categorize their policies into different rating tiers.  The industry term for this
process is market segmentation and each company has their own unique proprietary method.  A clear perception of
the methodology utilized in market segmentation by each company we represent provides a powerful advantage for
securing the lowest rate.  Our strategy for ongoing rate tier assessment and placement, yields lower rates for our
policyholders long-term.  
Comparative rating software utilized by most insurance agencies and online quote
engines does not implement a strategy for moving polices to more favorable tiers, with lower rates,
when opportunities arise.  
Five steps to know with more details below.
1.
Quality companies will offer a thorough
representation of available rates.  Look for good value,
not cheap companies.
2. Look out for changes and take action.  Shop early
and take advantage of advanced quoting and
purchasing
discounts.
3. Looking ahead in your life can save you money.  How
to register the car your teenager will be driving is one
example.  
4. Actively engage the process.  A careful examination
of
policy options will help you choose wisely.  
5. Rating tiers determine price.  Know what it takes to
move up a category for lower rates.

Question of the day: September 2nd, 2010 - Have a good day!
What is Uninsured Motorist and the importance of having Uninsured Motorist?
It adds extra medical insurance coverage in case of an automobile accident where the other person is at fault and
will cover your medical expenses when the other person does not have Bodily Injury Liability or their Bodily injury
Liability Insurance does not have enough coverage. Your Uninsured Motorist limits can only be as high as your
bodily Injury limits.

Car insurance quotes are not increased because the
services of an independent agent are provided.
Policyholders do not pay the agents commission, the
insurance companies do. Paying a commission adds
to the expense of the company but there are many
other costs that the company does not incur. For
example, an independent insurance agency will
perform underwriting, customer service and marketing.
