Comprehensive Auto Insurance Coverage for Stolen Vehicle in Georgia
Reader’s Question:
I live in Roswell, Georgia and I have a loan on my vehicle. yesterday my vehicle was stolen. I do have comprehensive car insurance. What will happen?

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
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.
Georgia SR22 Auto Insurance For SUV Drivers
Q: Why is Augusta SR22 insurance for an SUV more expensive than for another kind of car?
A: One of the main reasons for the differences in price you’ll see between Augusta SR22 insurance for SUVs and the same insurance for different cars is the sheer size difference. Almost always you’ll find that trucks of similar sizes also pay higher rates than these smaller cars.
In most cases, this works out into a win/lose situation if you have full coverage on your Augusta SR22 insurance policy. Since your car is larger and thus causes more damage when in an accident, you’ll see your liability rates for bodily injury and property damage rise. Meanwhile, since it is, as mentioned, larger, it also receives less damage in a car accident, and so you’ll often pay less for your collision coverage by a bit.
One other thing that goes beyond size and also makes SUVs more destructive, which in turn lands them with higher prices for Augusta SR22 liability coverage, is the positioning of the bumper. SUVs tend to have higher bumpers than other vehicles and so instead of running into the side or bumper of a smaller car in a collision, it hits the window at people level, causing more extensive damage, injury, and sometimes death.
