Since you mentioned that you have comprehensive coverage, this coverage covers damages caused by fire, weather, vandalism, floods and theft. If your stolen vehicle will not be recovered , your car insurance provider will settle for the ACV of the car before it was stolen.
If you visit the Georgia Insurance Commissioner site it states there how if your vehicle is a total loss, which a stolen car is since it taken from you, your full coverage through your insurance carrier will pay you what the vehicle was worth based on its ACV.
If you owe more money then the ACV of the car, you will be responsible for the difference of what the automobile’s actual cash value settlement is and the balance of your vehicle loan
Cheap Macon Georgia SR22 Auto Insurance
Q: I looked at the most stolen cars list on the government website and my new car model isn’t there, but I’m told my comprehensive Macon GA SR22 insurance coverage is so high because my car is at a higher than usual risk for theft and vandalism. Why is this?
A: The reason you will occasionally find discrepancies between what the government statistics say are the most often stolen cars and what your car insurance company actually charges you for your Macon GA SR22 comprehensive car insurance is that most car insurance companies aren’t looking at the same statistics as you are. Instead of using national statistics which are more general, your car insurance company collects its own statistics, and you’ll be charged based on the claims filed with that company.
While the two lists are usually almost parallel, you shouldn’t automatically take it for granted that since your car isn’t on that list it won’t be on any other. Statistics vary. While you can check such lists as an indicator of which car to buy, the best way to find out if you’ll be paying a lot for comprehensive coverage on your Macon GA SR22 insurance policy is to actually call up your possible car insurance provider or go to their website and get a quote BEFORE you buy your new car.
