You are only required to carry collision and comprehensive coverages which protect the vehicle you are financing.  I agree that raising your deductible is a good idea if you are looking to cut costs.  Make sure that you are getting any discounts available such as anti-theft device, mileage discount, etc.  Review what you are carrying for liability.  You may have more coverage there then you can afford.  If you dont have any assets that you need to protect perhaps lowering your liability for a while would be helpful. Call your insurer and explain your money is tight and have them review your coverages in detail-that is there job.\nGood luck.

It depends not only on the insurance company but also on the policy your employeer chooses.  Some of the best I have seen is Met Life for UPS employees.  They pay very little out of pocket.

Yes, it was great.  They gave me the best price on motorcycle insurance.  They were also great when it came to paying claims.

Write a letter explaining the reasons behind the increase. Most people will be happy with an honest explanation.\n\nGive as much notice as you can too.

Companies will not negotiate rates with you.\n\nHowever, I have heard of companies who match competitor's rate offers for business they already have.  Since state insurance regulators have to approve each company's rates, I'm not sure how insurers get away with that but they do.\n\nIn terms of why your rates keep going up.....it is totally dependent on the claims experience of your company.  If your company faces higher and higher claims costs.....you will pay more in higher premiums, even if you've had no accidents.

It depends on the insurance company and the plan that you are on.  You need to check with your insurance company.

Yes they will know because insurance companies go by your credit now instead of your word.  It will show up on your credit that you defaulted on your insurance premium.  Your rates may be higher someplace else.  If your mom is the primary insurance holder then it may not affect you but you may want to check into it.

"November 16, 1981\nAROUND THE NATION; Ohio Raises Sales Taxes, Covers Labor Charges \nAP \nThe largest tax increase in Ohio history went into effect today, raising the sales tax and adding taxes to such things as automobile repairs and installation of cable television. \n\nThe $1.3 billion package is part of a $13.5 billion budget for the state government for two years. \n\nIt went into effect at 12:01 A.M., nearly five months after the last permanent budget expired. \n\nThe sales tax is increasing 1.1 percentage points; the old tax was 4 percent. Smokers will pay 2 to 5 cents more a pack. Soda drawn from a fountain at fast-food restaurants or at sports events will cost at least another penny, and possibly as much as 6.5 cents more. Now included under the sales tax are labor on repairs, including automobiles and home improvements, and car washes."

Good question. I think some oil changers may be absorbing the increased cost and others may be adding a surcharge

IR-2005-99, Sept. 9, 2005\n\nWASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department announced an increase to the optional standard mileage rates for the final four months of 2005.\n\nThe rate will increase to 48.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31, 2005. This is an increase of 8 cents from the 40.5 cent rate in effect for the first eight months of 2005, as set forth in Rev. Proc. 2004-64.\n\n<edit>\n\nWhile gasoline is a major factor in the mileage figure, other items enter into the calculation of mileage rates, such as the price of new vehicles and insurance.\n\nThe optional business standard mileage rate is used to compute the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business use in lieu of the extra burden of tracking actual costs. This rate is also used as a benchmark by the federal government and many businesses to reimburse their employees for mileage.
