Questions About Car Insurance Deductible in Georgia
Reader’s Question:
I have 2 vehicles with full coverage and a deductible on collision coverage. My wife backed into mine damaging both of vehicles. Will I have to pay 2 deductibles? How will this affect my car insurance rate premiums in Georgia?

Thank you for your question. I’m assuming that you and your wife are insured by the same insurance provider.
If so, some insurance providers waive one of the deductibles if both policyholders are insured by them. I have seen some situations where insurance companies charge both deductibles too. You need to report this loss to your insurance providers if you have not already. You could also ask them about your situation with the insurance claims adjuster. It is up to the verbiage in your auto insurance policy as to if they can charge it or not. Some insurance policies define an incident as a single occurrence while other insurance policies define it as a per auto occurrence.
Each insurance carrier has its own method of evaluating policyholders, so the insurance points on your driving history may or may not have a direct impact on the auto insurance rates you pay for car insurance. The amount of insurance claims and the costs of those insurance claims are also factored into your auto insurance rate in in Northeast Cobb, Georgia.
How Long Do Georgia Auto Insurance Points Stay On Record?
Reader’s Question:
I would like to know How many years do points remain on your driving record/MVR in Georgia? I received 2 speeding tickets for 2 points each, and a minor traffic violation for 1 point. I also want to know if an insurance carrier will still see the violations or increase my insurance rate after doing a point reduction class?

There is no information on exactly how long points or violations remain on a individual’s Georgia driving record. You can get a copy though of your 3 or 7 year driving record (MVR) through the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) MVR Unit.
The consumer help line of the GA DDS may be able to provide answer to your question regarding the time period for various moving violations stay on your driver’s history. The phone number to call is 1-866-754-3687.
It will depend upon your insurance company’s rating system how these moving violations will affect your auto insurance rate.

Augusta Georgia SR22 Auto Insurance Rate Quotes
Q: What’s the difference between buying my Augusta Georgia SR22 direct and buying it through an agent?
A: Both are good options, but your own final choice should depend on your circumstances and the accessibility. If you wish to buy direct, you’ll find that the car insurance purchasing process is much quicker and simpler, and that it’s also very portable. For example, if you tend to move around every year or so, then you’ll find it easier to call up and change your policy when you’re doing it direct than you would if you had to look around for a new Augusta Georgia SR22 car insurance agent.
Buying your SR22 car insurance through an agent is a better idea for people who are less experienced in the process. You’ll be able to access more help with your claims and with your quote if you have an agent working with you, and you can often also save money by going with a local agent who also sells other kinds of insurance.
Neither buying through an agent nor buying car insurance direct from the company is “better” for your SR22. You need to look at the options and see how they fit with your ideal car insurance plans to figure out which one is the best for you.
