Deductible Levels and Kentucky Auto Insurance

By Steve Turner

Before you purchase your Kentucky Auto Insurance policy make certain that you have consulted with an insurance agent that understands all the factors that come into play on your policy. The level of deductibles that you choose will have a large impact on your policy.

The standard amount of deductible is $500. Some people with stick with this standard but others will chose to increase the deductible to $1,000 or even $5,000. Part of making this decision will depend on your situation including the price of the vehicle you drive, your insurance company, and your lien holder.

There is another reason to raise your deductible. Lower premiums are offered to those drivers whom opt to increase their deductible amounts.

If is important that you do understand that the deductible is the amount that you will need to pay out of pocket if you are in an accident. So while there are benefits of increasing its level, you need to make certain that you don't raise it so high that you could not come up with the funds when needed.

Statistics show that most drivers will find themselves in an accident sometime in their life. Do not have the false sense of security that you will never be in a situation requiring you to provide the funds for your deductible.

Make sure that you ask any questions that you have concerning deductibles before you purchase your auto insurance policy. It is definitely worth your time since deductible levels have such an impact on the premium you will pay.

To obtain the cheapest price for your policy make sure that you receive quotes from at least three different insurance providers. The insurance market is very competitive so there will be a wide range of prices offered.
