Play It Safe And Get Auto Insurance

Don’t share cars among family members, as this will increase your premiums. If there is a 1:1 correspondence between people and cars, your auto insurance will cost less.

What kind of car you have greatly influences what NY Car insurance you should buy. If your car is an older model with a low resale value, your coverage needs will differ than if your car was a brand new model. Also look into the theft rate in your area for your vehicle. Even some older cars get stolen often, you should think about getting some comprehensive coverage.

MORTGAGE INSURANCE VS. HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE?


These are actually two different types of coverages so there's really no area where they should be compared.

Coverage
For one, mortgage insurance will protect the interests of the mortgage company. This is one way that the mortgage company can protect their "investment", that is, the money they lent to you.
