Nebraska Auto Insurance Information

   Nebraska law requires all registered motor vehicles (autos) to maintain proof of financial responsibility (insurance).
   Proof of financial responsibility means evidence of ability to respond in damages for liability, on account of accidents occurring subsequent to the effective date of such proof, arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of a motor vehicle, (1) in the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) because of bodily injury to or death of one person in any one accident, (2) subject to such limit for one person, in the amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) because of bodily injury to or death of two or more persons in any one accident, and (3) in the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) because of injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident.

How To Reduce Your Premiums
   Rating factors determine what price you will pay for insurance. Characteristics of similarly situated drivers are evaluated and the drivers are then grouped into classifications. Insurance companies will establish a rate for each group based on the claims paid for persons in that classification. The higher the losses for a particular classification, the higher the rate for that class of driver. The following rating factors are considered when determining the rate you will pay: driving record; age, sex, and marital status; location; and type of auto and vehicle use.
   The best way to keep the cost of insurance down is to drive safely and maintain a good driving record. Another way to reduce the cost of your insurance is through the proper use of deductibles. Deductibles are applied to losses to your auto and must be exceeded before the insurance company pays. By using higher deductibles, your cost of insuring the physical damage to your auto will be reduced. Be sure to examine your own financial position to determine just how much of a loss you are able to retain. Additionally, as your vehicle gets older, it may not be cost-effective to insure it for physical damage. Remember that the value of a vehicle depreciates rapidly, so be sure to compare the cost of insurance in relation to the value of the vehicle. When shopping for a new vehicle, you may want to contact your agent to see how much the insurance will be on a particular vehicle. The cost may vary greatly depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
   Before you purchase a policy, remember the following: consider the company’s financial strength; never cancel your old policy until your new policy is effective; and make sure you answer all questions on the application truthfully, as wrong information could cause an incorrect price quote, denial of coverage, or cancellation.
   Shop and compare prices for insurance. Be sure, however, when making price comparisons that the coverages being quoted are the same.

Ask About Discounts.
   Ask your agent or company if you are eligible for any discounts. Some of the discounts that may be offered include:

Multiple policy - Some insurers offer discounts of 5% to 15% if you have two or more policies with them. For instance, if you already have a homeowner's policy with an insurer, find out if the insurer will discount an auto policy.
Safety equipment - Make certain your insurers know of any safety equipment in the areas they insure. As an example, if you have an alarm on your home or auto, you may be entitled to a discount.
Long-time policy - If you've had coverage through an insurer for a number of years, ask about a reduced premium.
Healthy living - Some insurers take your lifestyle into consideration when determining premiums. For instance, you may reduce the cost of coverage by stopping smoking, driving more safely, or maintaining a healthy weight.
Higher deductibles - A higher deductible generally means a lower premium. But be sure to ask the agent about the pros and cons of higher deductibles before making your decision.
