Cost benefit analysis (lower rates)

Insurance companies are very competitive with their prices and have different rates for each individual customer. If you have been with one insurance company for many years and are not receiving substantial discounts then you would benefit from shopping around. When shopping around customers will typically rep lower rates and better policies.

Is the customer service department less than helpful?

Car insurance companies are only as good as their customer service. Friendly and helpful customer service is paramount when negotiating a rate or for getting discounts. If your car insurance company is not polite and helpful when you are not filing a claim do not seek information from an true and friendly claims service.

Did the premium rise substantially after an accident or moving violation?

Is your insurance company drastically raising your premium for an accident or even a moving violation? The internet has made auto insurance companies compete fiercely for customers with lower prices and better coverage. Some insurance companies are now offering no premium increase for accidents. If your rates have risen due to an accident or moving violation then you should assume switching car insurance companies.

Is your auto insurance separate from your home owners insurance?

Combining insurance policies such as home owners insurance, multiple car auto insurance, and GAP insurance can save you a lot of money on premiums. If your insurance policies are separate from one another then you should consider leaving one of your current insurance companies for a lower rate combined plan.

Have your premiums rose even without an accident?

Car insurance companies are highly competitive and will do almost anything for business. If you have had your premiums rise without any violation or accident on your record then you should consider switching insurance companies. Typically insurance companies will lower premiums if you are accident free for an extended period of time instead of raising them. Accident free individuals are less of a risk and are actually less expensive to insure.

As advertised in the media, Progressive Auto Insurance will give you quotes not only for their own insurance products, but for what their competitors would charge. There are occasions when the Progressive Auto Insurance quote will be higher than a competitor. On these occasions, Progressive Auto Insurance still will attempt to win your business, based on 24/7 live support, local response claims service, and Progressive’s unique “concierge” level of claims service – all at no extra cost. You can even regain pet insurance as part of your coverage.

When you log on to progressive.com, the first request will be for your ZIP code, because geographic location is a factor in determining rates.

Once you enter your ZIP code, the veil will say, “One moment while we arrangement your page.” You then will be asked for your name, address and date of birth.

Progressive Auto Insurance will ask for your Social Security number. You are not required to give your Social Security number; or, at this point if you are concerned with privacy, you have the option of calling 1-800-776-4737. The purpose for Progressive Auto Insurance to request your Social Security number is to check your credit history. Many other companies do not pursue credit reports, but with Progressive Auto Insurance, a good credit history can lead to a lower rate. Progressive Auto Insurance cannot offer this lower rate unless the insurance representative can verify your credit history.

The screen will slide to list the vehicles on your existing policy. Each vehicle is displayed with a photograph of a model of that vehicle. If it looks EXACTLY like yours, that’s just a coincidence; no, Progressive does not have actual photos of your vehicle or vehicles. This step in the online process allows you to remove vehicles that you no longer own or that you do not wish to cover, and to add vehicles that are not listed.

When you enter the online site, or call, you should have available a copy of your existing policy’s “declarations page,” which lists information about your existing coverages and limits. This also will indicate when your existing policy expires. However, this not indispensable to provide.

Progressive Auto Insurance also will ask how you are paying for your car (lease, own, or own and make payments). You should know the vehicle identification number, year, make, model and body style. Also, Progressive Auto Insurance would like to know about any anti-theft safety equipment for your vehicle or vehicles.

You will be asked if you have had any at-fault accidents during the past five years, or any violations (other than parking tickets) during the past three years. You will also have the opportunity to add a spouse and/or your children.

Seeking an online quote is convenient, but remember, a talk with a Progressive Auto Insurance representative at 1-800-776-4737 is still the best design to learn about discounts and payment methods.

Do your research and make a list!
One of the most important things to do is to shop around and find which insurance companies have been around the longest and are the most trusted, or will suit your insurance needs the best. Ask your friends and family about their experiences with different insurance companies, and why they expend the company they are with, or check consumer reports. Get yourself a list of phone numbers of the companies that you would like to call and the websites that you want to visit for on-line quotes. The list will help you analyze your quotes and to not salvage them or the insurance companies confused. After you have prepared yourself a list of insurance companies to contact, it is important to have your personal information ready so that the person you are speaking with can give you an accurate and easy estimate of how much your car insurance will be.

Have your personal information ready!
From personal experience, I know that the person preparing the insurance quote will ask for the following things: Name, Address, Date of Birth, Phone Number, Social Security Number, Driver’s License number, make, model, and year of your vehicle, and Vin number or serial number of your vehicle, as well as all of the same personal information for all other drivers in the house hold, and name of prior insurance company if you had one. After you have given them the information, in most cases, they will run a motor vehicle record check to see how many tickets or accidents you’ve had in the last 3-5 years. Be patient and kind to the person helping you with your quote. Please understand that sometimes technology doesn’t work as quick as they would like it to and these things do take time. Car insurance premium rates are based on many different factors, for example: age, driving experience, marital status, year and type of vehicle, driver exposure, etc. . . These different factors are the reasons for all of the personal questions. Finally, when the person who is preparing your quote has finished asking these personal questions, it’s your turn to start asking the questions!

Don’t be afraid to ask questions!
Write some questions down before the quote process if you’re a nervous person or just can’t remember what questions to ask. Ask them some important questions like: What kind of coverages are you offering? What types of liability coverages can you offer me? What types of payment plans do you offer? What will my premium be annually, monthly, or every 6 months? What will my deductibles be and how do they affect my premium rate? What kind of discounts can I receive? What do I do in the case of an accident or a claim? It is very essential that you know what you are paying for when you are buying car insurance, and what kind of service your insurance company can provide!

Getting car insurance quotes doesn’t have to be difficult or even painful. In fact, if you are someone who enjoys shopping and talking to new people, it can even be fun! Follow the 3 easy tips that I have listed above and your car insurance shopping experience should be an easy and pain free one.

Toyota seems to have a credit card available in Japan but one could not be located in the United States. Effective as of January 1, 1998, the Ford Citibank Card ceased to rack in rebates toward a new Ford purchase. Honda FCU Visa appears to exist as information shows at http://www.hondafcu.org/home.html, but no application form could be located. Advance summer of 2005, Lexus will be introducing the Lexus Pursuits Visa® to reward faithful customers with rewards and up to 10 percent off the purchase of their next Lexus vehicle.

No matter what vehicle you drive, it can’t hurt to save a few bucks here or there for your new dream car, your next oil change or a few cool heed name products. As always, be sure to fully investigate all terms and conditions of the automobile affinity cards. Several cards impose annual fees and several do not disclose all terms of agreement online. Forewarned is forearmed, so be persistent until you get answers to all your questions about APR, annual fees and the structure of the rewards program itself.

Retail

If you are interested in having a retail job, keep in mind that the hours will be more or less limited, due to the hours the store is open, unless you decide somewhere like Walmart or Target, where they are initiate a little bit later. But retail can be a stout option if you want to wear your own clothes and get an employee discount. Don’t choose a retail job if you are ultra shy, because it takes good customer service skills and an outgoing personality to succeed in retail. 

Now, some retail stores do not hire people under 18, but the opening of the Simi Valley Town Center last year has seriously opened up the job market for teens. Most of the stores at the mall will hire teenagers. The trick is to fair apply to as many as absolutely possible, and always follow up on your application. If you don’t here anything back after a few days, call and ask to speak to a manager, just to see if they have any questions about your application. This extra effort will often glean you the interview. 

If the mall crowds are not your cup of tea, there are other places you can apply. Consider applying at places like Mervyns or Target, or one of the local video stores, such as Alamo Video, Blockbuster, or Hollywood Video.
Another option is grocery stores. While you do need to be over 18 to work as a cashier, or in the bakery or deli, you can be a courtesy clerk (aka “box boy”) at Vons, Ralphs, or Albertsons, before you are 18. If you want flexible hours (late nights or early mornings included), this may be a great job for you. The only downside is that you will likely get stuck working holidays. You also will have to join the union, which means you will be paying union dues. There are major benefits to being in the union though, including paid holidays (which can mean double time or even more if you work on a holiday) and insurance benefits, although you will not see most of these benefits unless you are full-time. The good thing about the supermarket business is that there is sterling room for advancement. If you want to be able to stay with a job for a long time and have it grow with you, this can be a great job.

Food service

The ultimate stereotype of a teenage job is probably that of the fast food worker, but there are good reasons for this stereotype. Even if you judge you could never picture yourself saying, “Would you like fries with that? ” realize that there are many benefits to working fleet food. For starters, people who speak clear and fluent English are always highly in demand in the quickly food business, so if you are willing to work fast food you will not have any worry getting a job. 

Another major perk to fast food is that, unlike retail where weekends are so busy that you will be hard pressed to get a Saturday or Sunday off, fast food doesn’t really hit peak business on the weekends, so it is easier to get a weekend off to hang out with your friends or go to prom or whatever. If you are involved in a lot of school activities (band, choir, sports, etc.), schedule flexibility can be a big philosophize about finding a job. Most managers at fast food places are willing to work around a busy teenage schedule, as long as you communicate with them long enough in advance. 

There are tons of fast food places in Simi Valley, so you can pretty remarkable take your pick. If you don’t have a car, chances are there is somewhere within walking distance from your house. There are four Carl’s Jr. restaurants in Simi Valley, all of which hire teenagers on a regular basis, and it is a great place to work. Both of the Del Taco restaurants hire teenagers as well, and are good about flexibility on hours. 

Another option to consider is applying to be a host or hostess at a restaurant. Because most restaurants aid alcohol, you cannot be a server before you turn 18, but starting as a host while you are still 16 or 17 is a great way to get started. Once you turn 18, you can always recede up to being a server, and eventually maybe even to bartending. Being a server can be a great job to have during college, so setting yourself up with restaurant experience early is a good idea. Reflect applying at any of the restaurants in the town center; Islands and Red Robin both commonly hire hosts that are under 18.

Clerical

Last but not least, you can always try for a clerical job. Not many businesses will hire teenagers for clerical work, since much of the work needs to be done during school hours; however, there are some places that need office assistants in the afternoon. These jobs are considerably harder to find. You can ask around at local dentists and doctor’s offices to see if they are looking for any afternoon help. You can also try checking out ads in the paper. 

The best way to find this type of job is through an agency. The Youth Employment Service (YES) of Simi Valley specializing in finding jobs for young people. Check them out online at http://www.simivalley.org/html/youth_employment_service.html, or give them a call at (805) 522-HIRE. (Note: YES of Simi Valley can also be helpful in finding other jobs, also. I highly recommend contacting them if you need help finding a job.)

Progressive has claimed to be a cheap car insurance company. They offer services such as 24/7 claim service, pet accident insurance, and someone to succor you with buying a car if yours gets totaled, and discounts for a safe driving record and having more than one car insured with them. In completing a quote, individuals are asked to provide the car that they drive, personal identifying information, and whether they have any driving violations. Individuals are then offered a choice of what kind of car insurance they would like, and the amount of money they could pay for each of those insurances, which may or may not be cheaper than what they are already paying.

Geico also has claimed itself to be a cheap car insurance company. Their claim is that 15 minutes could place you up to 15 percent on your insurance. One bonus with Geico is that they do provide all the different coverages that are available and that you the consumer should consider having on your policy. I started a quote from them but became frustrated at the amount of information that they required. Some personal information I was allowed to opt out of giving like my phone number and social security number, but others I was not like my occupation and how much I am paying for my insurance currently. Geico does not provide coverage in Massachusetts.

Allstate is going a different route in being a cheap car insurance company. Their claim is a safe driving bonus for every 6 months an individual goes without an accident they can acquire up to 5% of their premium. They can also earn money off of their deductible. Individuals can also receive a quote online.

They offer 24/7 claim service. They also offer free On Your Side Reviews to assist you with choosing discounts and coverage that are right for you.

Amica also claims to be a cheap car insurance company. They do not offer much information about their auto insurance online. However, you can complete a quote online.

Esurance offers the most information about cheap car insurance companies. Esurance allows individuals to come by a quote that compares auto insurance rates. This allows the individual to pick the best insurance information for them. Individuals can then buy the policy right online. Esurance claims that if another company offers a cheaper rate you can purchase the policy.

How car insurance works

Many people will call their insurance company after receiving a renewal notice. After managing to forget about car insurance for the rest of the year, the renewal notice arrives and informs you that your premium will be increasing soon. Your response is natural, you call the insurance company and want to know why your rates went up when you are accident free and have never had a speeding price.

Insurance is a shared risk. The premiums that you and I pay is kept in reserves and used to pay the claims of our fellow customers. When you or I need to file a claim, that claim is paid out using money from the same reserves. The problem arises when claim frequency increases or when the amount paid out in claims begins to rise. This information is analyzed for trends. If, for example, claims tend to be more frequent among individuals who like the color blue, then the rates for individuals who like blue might rise (if the state were to allow it).

Rating, Tiering and Surcharging

Everyone begins with a base rate. This rate is determined based upon statistical information for a particular location (usually zip code). This rate is the same for everyone, regardless of age, sex and driving history. This rate increases through tiering and surcharging. Though this varies from state to state, most insurance companies have a tiering structure. Here's how it works. Insurance Company A rates clients based upon 50 tiers. Clients at Tier 00 will have the lowest rate. This will be based upon factors which are approved by that state's insurance department, and may include marital status, age, gender and driving history. Accidents and moving violations can be surcharged, adding to your premium. Most states allow insurance companies to charge for any accidents or violations which occurred within the last three years. However, even if a company stops surcharging for an accident, there are quite a few states that allow a company to look encourage 5 years and use accidents and violations for the purposes of tiering.

Credit Reporting

Most insurers also consume a Credit Based Underwriting Score. It is important to note that insurance companies do not typically pull credit reports. The Credit Based Underwriting Acquire is obtained when the insurer develops a formula which they then provide to reporting agencies such as Experian. Using the provided formula, the reporting agency then provides the insurer with a numerical score. This is important to note because while this win affects your rate, those within the insurance company most likely have no idea what makes your score. Neither customer service, nor underwriting will have a copy of your credit characterize and cannot advise you as to what specific data affected your score. The Credit Based Underwriting Score, while numerical, is also different from your FICO Score, which is not obtained by your insurer.

When Your Rate Goes Up

So, you're accident free and haven't had a ticket since high school, yet your rate just went up. What happened? It is distinguished to note that your premium is made up of the premium for each specific coverage and for each vehicle. Generally speaking, if you are claims free and have not had any moving violations, your liability coverage will remain the same. This is also the coverage that is generally affected by discounts such as defensive driver. When your premium goes up and the change mainly affects your comprehensive and collision coverages, it is most likely due to the claims history of your particular vehicle and location.

For example, if you drive a 2005 Saturn Vue and live in Union City, New Jersey, your comprehensive and collision premium may have gone up due to an increase in the number of claims for 2005 Saturn Vues in and around Union City, New Jersey. It may also have been affected by the cost to repair a 2005 Saturn Vue in your area. Were you to experience a loss, the cost to repair the vehicle would be higher and thus would require a higher payment from the insurance carrier. The most frustrating part of an increase in these coverages is that they might easily affect a safe driver with a smart record and there is little that can be done about it.

From time to time, insurance carriers will receive permission from their respective status insurance department to initiate a statewide rate increase. This is done to keep up with the cost of inflation and to meet the demand of rising claims.

Shopping for Insurance

There are many misconceptions surrounding shopping for insurance. For starters, despite what that letter in the mail says, you likely won't save $400 by switching to another company. These figures are determined based on average savings. Consider that gargantuan multi-car accounts in expensive metropolitan areas, such as New York City, are going to yield premiums in the thousands, making such savings more realistic.

The conventional wisdom in shopping was that an Independent Insurance Agent was the best arrangement to find the lowest rate. An Independent Agency represents numerous insurance companies rather than fair one. The predicament with this approach is that relatively few auto insurers allow independent agents to market their products. Those that do also allow consumers to buy directly. If shopping for the lowest rate is your goal, then your best bet is to come multiple direct auto carriers and request quotes via telephone or internet.

If you insist on forming a personal relationship with an insurance agent, consider doing the order shopping, but then finding a local agent to service your account once you have placed your business (when possible). For example, if Progressive offers the lowest rate, buy your insurance directly and then find an agent who offers Progressive who can service your account. Making your purchase based upon the individual agent may wait on you to form that interpersonal connection, but may cost you money in the long run.

First let me first account for this is all about getting your car into the 11s. The Acura RSX is an import, but Honda built this car with all the intentions of a urge car. They had to seriously de-tune it, to be able to sell it at the price, and preserve the insurance prices down. In the truth, the Acura RSX Type S can flow better, and HARDER than a fully built B series. In this article, I’ll highlight two paths you can take, from stock.

The Acura RSX is a Naturally Aspirated BEAST! Like I mentioned above though, the RSX is detuned a lot from the factory. You’ll need a few custom parts to get the most out of your car. Not only do these parts increase horsepower, they increase your gas milage! The car can race smoother, and more open. You only need a few things, so don’t raze your money on the garbage, since you bought an Acura RSX, I’m assuming you don’t like “garbage”.

• Cold Air Intake: It can be installed yourself, this mod is literally the BEST bang for buck mod for the Acura RSX. It can be bought sign new for about 150 dollars. They answer great to the car, increasing the HP as much as 17 hp!
• Race Header: This is a little more difficult to install on an Acura RSX. It can be done with two people for sure, but if you aren’t comfortable with it, I’d recommend just having a shop do this. If you do opt to do this yourself, as I did, the only thing I could recommend is that, be sure to torque down the bolts onto the motor properly. If you break the stud, or strip it, it will be one of the biggest PITA to fix. The race header gives the Acura RSX a potential extra 15 hp!
• Exhaust: This is easy to install, but not recommended without a race header. If you are still using the stock header/cat from the Acura RSX setup, leave the stock exhaust on there, if you modify it, it will just lose power. The Acura RSX has one of the best stock expend systems. With a hurry header, I recommend upgrading the exhaust as well, something with a 2.25-2.35 diameter. A basic rule I like to go with is, carry the the diameter size decimal over two spots to the right. That is about the amount of HP you will realistically see. You can’t over shoot that amount, or you will lose power. For example, if your car makes 214 HP with a 2.35 exercise, it will most likely do about 217 with a 2.25 utilize.

The following parts are recommended what route you occupy with your Acura RSX, no matter is be Turbo, Supercharged, or N/A.

• Motor Mount Inserts: They are about 30 dollars, and greatly affect wheel spin, which is one of the biggest problems with the Acura RSX stock.
• Suspension: You could either spend 1600 and get some great coilovers, 1200 and get some decent coil overs, or even spend 200 dollars and get springs. Whichever route you take, NEVER cut your springs. Plus the Acura RSX sits a slight to high stock for my personal taste.
• Brakes: The Acura RSX has some fine good brake rotors, but the pads are built for luxury. If you get the chance, replace the fronts with some more aggressive pads. This is cheap, and very easy to do yourself.
• Lastly, and most importantly. ECU: Kpro is THE MOST important mod ever on tan Acura RSX. If you appreciate your car, have it tuned for its mods, its plot, and its fuel. Every Acura RSX is a little different, with a proper tune, you can squeeze every horse out of your motor, not to mention the car will run like a normal car, rather then having hiccups because of the modifications.

You can expect about 220+ hp with a pleasurable tune, all motor. This is how Japan intended the Acura RSX to run, pure All Motor, revving up to 8600 RPM, smooth gaining power, without spinning.

This is only the beginning of the options you can take with the Acura RSX. I will be adding part two very soon. To support please Comment, and thunder your friends!
