Avoid These Auto Insurance Mistakes

Auto insurance is essential for every Oklahoma driver, but navigating your options can be confusing. At Best Insurance, Inc, we often see drivers make avoidable mistakes that can lead to higher costs or gaps in coverage.

Not Reviewing Coverage Regularly

Many drivers purchase a policy and forget about it. However, life changes, like buying a new car, moving, or adding a driver, can impact your insurance needs. Failing to review your policy may leave you underinsured or paying for unnecessary coverage.

Choosing the Minimum Required Coverage

Oklahoma law sets minimum liability limits, but these may not be enough to cover all expenses after an accident. Opting for only the minimum can leave you responsible for significant out-of-pocket costs if damages exceed your policy limits.

Overlooking Discounts

Many discounts are available, such as safe driver, multi-policy, or good student discounts. Not asking about these options can mean missing out on valuable savings.

Ignoring Deductible Choices

Selecting a deductible that’s too high or too low can affect your premium and your ability to pay after a claim. It’s important to choose a deductible that fits your budget and risk tolerance.

Letting Your Policy Lapse

A lapse in coverage, even for a short time, can lead to penalties, higher premiums, or legal trouble. Always ensure your policy is active and payments are up to date.
