Q: Will I pay more for my Savannah Georgia SR22 car insurance if I buy a new car?
A: Unless you’re going from an extremely expensive somewhat used car to a more normal new car, then in most cases you will indeed pay more for your Columbus GA SR22 car insurance if you buy a new car. Even if you buy a used car you’ll pay more, because any car being financed is required to have an additional level of car insurance. This isn’t a law, but a requirement of the financers, and if you don’t get that additional coverage (i.e. comprehensive and collision coverage), then your financing company will be well within their rights to take your new car back.
Even if you buy your car all in one blow, you’ll still face higher Savannah SR22 car insurance prices if the car is new. This is because factors such as the value of the car being insured are taken into account when determining the rate. Some aspects of a newer car could lead you to a cheaper price, such as additional safety features and anti theft devices, or hybrid capabilities.
