Who Is A High-Risk Driver?
High-risk auto insurance is a type of policy designed to cover what’s considered a high-risk driver, but what does that term mean? Drivers who have higher likelihoods of filing claims on their policies are considered greater cost risks to auto insurance companies, because the drivers who file a lot of claims place the largest financial burdens on those companies. This is also why insurers work to obtain a general idea of a driver’s habits before agreeing to insure that driver.
Based on this analysis of driving habits, an auto insurer may label the policyholder as a high-risk driver, which then requires the driver to be covered with a high-risk auto insurance policy to provide the right coverage. What makes a high-risk driver, though? A driver may be designated a higher risk if they:
Are new drivers
Have DUI/DWI charges
Have a high number of accidents, tickets, or traffic violations
Carry an SR-22 certificate
Have a vehicle with a salvage title
Have a specialty car or high-value vehicle
Have had a license revocation
Have a poor credit history
What Does High-Risk Auto Insurance Cover?
While they are designated differently, a high-risk auto policy is not very different from an average plan and can offer most standard benefits available to all drivers, including:
Liability insurance
Collision insurance
Comprehensive insurance
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Other benefits, like roadside assistance and rental car reimbursement may be offered, as well.
Please note, in Texas, all drivers are required to carry at least the following coverage:
Bodily Injury Liability Coverage: $30,000 per person/$60,000 per accident
Property Damage Liability Coverage: $25,000
With the help of your Amco agent, you’ll be able to get the minimum mandatory coverage affordably and also augment your plan with the optional benefits that will make your policy expansive enough for you.
What Does High-Risk Auto Insurance Cost?
Because high-risk auto policies are designed for drivers who are likely to be cost burdens to the insurer, they tend to cost more than a plan offered to a low-risk driver. When setting rates, an auto insurer will review factors regarding the level of risk they’ll incur to cover you, including factors like your credit history, the value of your vehicle and any accident history you may have to determine your risk to them. If an insurer assigns a high-risk designation to a driver as a result, that driver is likely going to pay more for auto insurance. At Contigo, our agents are dedicated to helping our customers maximize their ability to save on auto insurance rates while still having quality coverage options.
