Reader’s Question:
I need to get an SR22 insurance in Arizona. Where can I get the cheapest?

In Arizona, or in any other state for that matter, the SR22 form is asked after a driver gets a conviction for driving without an insurance or driving with a suspended license, among other things.
Getting an SR22 AZ could turn out to be time-consuming, expensive, and frustrating if you don’t know how to find a good deal. If you think going to an insurance company will solve your problem, you could be in for a surprise.
There are many insurance companies that do not like insuring people considered risky. It’s not surprising that your application could be turned down by some.
Don’t despair though. There are other insurance companies that not only will accept your SR22 Arizona application but will offer you affordable rates. You just need to know where to find them. To do so, you should go online and do some shopping. There are many discount offers from online sites.
In going online, you get to save on a lot of time and effort. Try to find websites that allow you to compare multiple quotes in one setting. There’s no need to get up from your chair to dial insurers. Just fill out one form to get at least 10 quotes for your SR22 application.
Once you’ve chosen the most affordable rate for you, the next thing you should do is to check out the insurer’s reputation. It’s important for you to get the SR22 insurance from a company that values its customers more than their payments. It’s not enough to get the cheapest rate if in exchange for that is crappy service. Don’t settle for a company that doesn’t know customer service.

Different insurance companies use the same factors when computing for premiums. However, the weight they place for each factor differs. One insurer may find you less risky that the other. To be able to know this, you should do some research. Knowing the cheapest car insurance companies in Arizona requires shopping for quotes. The only way for you to know which companies offer the lowest rates is by requesting for quotes from each one of them.
If you don’t know the insurers in your area, get a business directory and draw up a list from there. Once the list is complete, call or visit each one to ask for quotes and whatever discounts you may qualify for. You can also go online and compare the quotes you obtained from the insurers you have visited. Aside from comparing quotes, you can also find the cheapest car insurance companies in Arizona by asking brokers to help you find one that offers the cheapest. Brokers often can provide you with the lowest rates. Also, you can find the cheapest car insurance companies in Arizona by sticking to the minimum liability coverage requirement for Arizona. Remember though that getting the cheapest quotes should not be your sole consideration. Include the quality of service.
My Car Was Hit By a Deliver Truck While It Was Parked – Claim Denied?
Reader’s Question:
My car while parked was hit by a delivery truck and the bumper got damaged. I took my car to my regular repair place here in Arizona and was given an estimate of $875. When I submitted this to the truck driver’s insurer, they requested me to have the car assessed at their partner repair shop and got an estimate of $720. I want to have my car fixed in my regular repair place even though it charges more. Will the truck driver’s car insurance still cover for that?

The Arizona Department of Insurance states that you are allowed in Arizona to choose a repair shop and get damage assessment of your car. Car insurance providers will ask you to get other valuations to make sure that your choice repair place has quoted an evenhanded price, though. Additionally, all insurers have their preferred repair shops because they are known to have decent and competitive prices for repair jobs.
The Arizona Department of Insurance also mandates that the insurer may not require you to travel unreasonably to get damage assessment for your vehicle from a repair shop, or bring the car on your own to a specific repair place to have it fixed. In your case, though, you can appeal that the car repairs be done in your choice repair place. If explained and handled properly then you might be able to come up with a good settlement and the repair process can be charged to the paying car insurance company. If this would not be the case and the truck driver’s insurance company will only cover $720, but you still want to pursue having your car fixed by your choice repair shop, then you will need to shoulder the remaining amount.
Will My Full Coverage Auto Insurance Cover a Non Insured Driver?
Reader’s Question:
My girlfriend often borrows my car, and that’s totally fine with me. However, she’s uninsured, and I am. I just want to know if my full coverage auto insurance would cover her if I let her drive it around Phoenix, Arizona.

Hi Christy, the answer is No. Even if you have a full coverage, that auto insurance policy only covers you and not your friend. The same thing goes when you drive someone else’s vehicle; even if the vehicle you’re driving is not covered by a policy, it’s okay because you are insured and it is your name which is written in that auto insurance policy.
However, there is an exception when it comes to driving a vehicle that is considered as “regularly available” for use. For example, you have three cars in your house but only two are being used regularly. You will have to list those two cars in your insurance policy as “regularly available”. Let’s say you seldom use the third car for the reason that you prefer using the other two and that third car only comes as a “spare” in case the two cars break down or becomes unavailable simultaneously. You would have to list that car too as a “regularly available” vehicle because it is there and the frequency of your usage over it comes from your preference only. In case you fail to have it listed, and you mess up while driving it, you cannot expect your policy to cover you.
On the other hand, if you use another person’s car (let’s say your friend asked you to get something and use her car instead) your auto insurance policy would still cover your liabilities, personal injury protection, etc. You may want to run these added information by your friend as she would gain more benefit out of this than you would. You may want to refer to her your insurance agent there in Phoenix, AZ, so she could get the best explanation on the benefits of getting an insurance policy of her own.
