The risks of cheap car insurance
The phrase “you get what you pay for” certainly applies to car insurance. If you settle for cheap insurance, you may deal with several headaches that aren’t worth the lower price tag:
- The coverage is not enough for serious accidents
- While insurance premiums are lower, you’ll pay a higher deductible when filing a claim
-
You might not be able to repair your car after a collision due to poor coverage
-
You could be left without a car if you can’t afford repairs
- Expect lousy customer service, particularly when you need them the most
