Can I Purchase a "National Car Insurance Policy" or Do I Need to Purchase One from Within My State?

In America, nearly all states legally oblige car owners to insure their cars – the problem is that each state has its own specific insurance liability requirements. Before taking out an insurance policy for your car, it is important that you check out what these requirements are.

Ensure any national car insurance meets liability requirements

As a nation, we are all looking to find ways to save money, but any national quotes must always take into account and ensure adherence to the correct amount of compensation that your particular state has decided on as the minimum level of coverage for its drivers.

In general, national auto insurance quotes will need to take into account the same types of information about you as would quotes from within your own state, such as:

• Your age – Mature (good) drivers always get better rates than younger drivers, since they are more of a "known quantity" to insurance providers, and this applies to all companies, whether they are supplying national car insurance or state-based
• Your driving record – It can't be reiterated enough that your "driving" record is the "driving" force behind decisions about which insurance premiums you should receive. Good drivers =low premiums
• Your credit history – Having a clean DMV record which is up to date will ensure you the best and most competitive quotes, whether your insurer is local or national. Make sure you check all the right details are being held - estimates show that up to 20% of all drivers' records have errors
• Your proposed deductible level – Raising your deductible will get you a better deal from national car insurance companies and state car insurance companies alike. By raising your deductible, you will save as long as you avoid getting in an accident.
