This is what happens: an insurance company will reduce the most important coverage on an auto policy 1) Bodily Injury and 2) Uninsured Motorist Coverage.
While each persons needs vary, a homeowner should carry at minimum $250,000 per person / $500,000 per accident for Bodily Injury and Uninsured Motorist. These protect you, your family and your assets.

With that in mind, when it comes time to shop, consider these alternatives that can save you money by lowering your current premium while maintaining your liability limits with proper coverage.

1) Combine and save! Insurance companies give their best rates to customers who have multiple lines of insurance through them. By combining your Auto policy with your home or renters policy you can save 10% or more on both policies!

2) Take advantage of automatic or pay in full discounts. Many companies offer a good break in premiums if you pay in full or automatically have the monthly payment withdrawn from a bank account. These two payment methods can save you 15% or more!

3) Check your coverages at work. Do you already have a good medical plan? Short or long term disability? Retired? You could be paying for an optional medical or personal injury protection (PIP) coverage that you might not need if you have other medical coverage. This could add up to hundreds of dollars over the course of a year.

4) Carry deductibles to fit your needs. Raising your collision deductible could save you a substantial amount over the life of your car. On the flipside, lowering your Comprehensive deductible, windshield, theft, vandalism, might only cost you a few more dollars a year.

5) Call your agent! The easiest way to save money is to contact to your agent. Ask about your discounts and other discounts that are offered that can help you to reduce your premium while maintaining necessary coverages.

There are many ways to save, and the easiest way to do so is to simply ask your agent. It’s what we do.

10. Seattle Car Drivers Beware of the Under and Uninsured

Let’s look at the following example;

Joe is stopped at a red light and gets rear-ended by Mr. Inattentive. Joe’s $15,000 sedan is totaled, but luckily he is alright. Mr. Inattentive and Joe both have identical policies based on Washington State’s minimum coverage which only includes up to $10,000 in property damage. Mr. Inattentive’s insurance company cuts Joe a check for $10,000 as that’s his coverage’s max limit. Joe waived his Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist coverage because it was going to save him a few dollars a month. Now Joe has 2 options, he can use the $10,000 and get himself a lesser car or he can take Mr. Inattentive to court in hopes of recovering the other $5,000.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist coverage is one of the least expensive coverage’s on a policy, often costing only a few dollars a month more. Getting the car repaired or replaced in an accident is important, but what’s more important are the people in the car.

Let’s look at a more serious accident:

Joe is in his mid-thirties. He’s working as an IT professional and he’s making’s about $50,000 a year. Overall, Joe is a pretty average person. Joe gets a green light and pulls out into the intersection. Mr. Inattentive didn’t notice the light had already turned red and he met Joe in a T bone. Joe is hurt. He’s taken to the hospital for a few days in intensive care. His medical bills are piling up and he’s going to be out of work for about a month to recover. Joe’s hospital bills are around $25,000 as-is. He still has bills coming in for physical therapy, chiropractic work, lost wages, etc. All told, Joe would expect to be receiving about $60,000 in compensation. Mr. Inattentive’s insurance company quickly cuts Joe a check for $25,000 per Mr. Inattentive’s policy limits. At the same time they advise Mr. Inattentive to seek a lawyer as Joe’s injuries and entitlements are going to well exceed those limits. Joe called his insurance company and filed a claim for Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist coverage. His insurance company covers the remaining bills and includes lost wages, pain and suffering. Without that coverage, Joe would be struggling just to stay afloat, much less recover what he has lost.

Not all insurance policies are equal. Not all insurance companies take the time to explain what coverages you have and why. Call your insurance company and ask for a declarations page. Take your time and review the declarations page. Ask questions. Many times adding or raising limits on coverages like Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist is only going to cost very little, other time’s that additional premium could be offset with a slightly higher deductible. Be proactive, many times insurance policy reviews are put off and no questions about coverage arise until it’s needed – at that point it’s too late!

9. Attention Seattle Car Drivers! 5 Good Ways to Save on Auto Insurance

Perhaps the “shopping gene” is carried on the X chromosome. We have two “X’s”; thereby we are twice as efficient and productive. Or perhaps it is an environmental part of our upbringing. At an early age, wise mothers pass along two key concepts to their daughters:

1. You get what you pay for 2.Never pay full price

With the New Year come new resolutions. Perhaps one of yours is to add a new car to your life. If so, I have a tip: Bring your better half to the shopping process!

A sales manager at a Seattle area Honda dealership, who didnt want to be identified, told me how he has stressed to his staff that major buying decisions used to be controlled by men, women are now taking a more active, if not equal, role. Maybe it’s a reflection of society as whole, but many women are commanding higher incomes than their spouses. and thus have a bigger role in major purchases. Sales people are focusing both people equally, regardless of which person is seeking the new ride. I’ve been told the number#1 tip in reading a female customer is by being attentive to nonverbal cues like eye contact and body language.

“Once I see a woman cross her arms, I know the sale is lost,” explains the local Honda sales manager.

Recently on vacation from the Seattle drizzle, I had a chance to soak in Southern California sun while helping a friend buy a car. In the process I saw some sweet rides, including a replica of the Bumblebee Camaro from Transformers II, the new Audi R9 being used in the Ironman sequel. While “shopping” (read: “dreaming”), I had several other conversations with sales managers, at a variety of dealerships, and was pleased to have several hypotheses confirmed regarding the differences between the way men and women shop for vehicles. They include, in no particular order:

Women prioritize a car that fits their lifestyles.

• Are there enough seats to meet passenger requirements?
• The more “hands-free” the better. Mothers in particular love the convenience of power-operated doors/lift gates, folding seats and seat/pedal adjustments. Remote starters for engines, heaters and air conditioning are highly coveted and could make lovely last-minute holiday gifts.
• Safety first! Women typically ask more safety-related questions than men.

Women are often more cautious on what they spend than a man. This is not a blanket statement and clearly does not apply to items like cosmetics and shoes, but in my observations and experience when it comes to cars, practicality reigns supreme for ladies.

• Women will ask important questions about key elements to budgetary savings like gas mileage and interest rates on loans or leases.

Men seek “the look.” According to an eastside GMC/Pontiac sales manager, men are “appearance driven, hands down.”

• Electronic gadgets like navigation systems and touch screen-based radio/temperature controls hold definite appeal but even more alluring are exterior add-ons like upgraded tires, trim and grills.
• Power is also a critical factor for the male buyer – finding the right combination of acceleration and speed without sacrificing gas mileage.

Motivation for bringing a member of the opposite sex on the shopping excursion can be starkly different (shocker, I know).

A Seattle area Toyota salesperson told me, “women tend to bring men (as shopping partners) to get more respect” on the sales floor. And “9 out of ten times a man brings a woman to shop for vehicles to show her what a great business person he is.”

He also added, “I’ve been married thirty years and have learned that you never buy what the wife doesn’t want,” he says. “I wouldn’t even buy a pair of pants she didn’t like.”

Now those are words one can live by.

Cara Capuano has worked in television, mainly in sports, for over a decade, spending the last four years covering the Northwest Sports Scene for Fox Sports NW and before that on ESPN News. A dedicated storyteller, from time to time she’ll be lending some “female perspective” to SeattleAuto.net.

• Cars for Clunkers program runs until November 1st, 2009 – or until funds run out
• Car must to be less than 25 years old
• Cars must average 18MPG or less (exceptions exist for very large vehicles)
• Car must be owned, registered and insured for 12 months in owner’s name before trade in. Must provide Proof of Insurance and Registration to dealership
• Car must have a clear title, without any liens or encumbrances.
• Car must be in drivable condition
• Cars traded-in must be scrapped, meaning the car will be turned into scrap metal (worth a few hundred at most)
• Depending on trade-in, a $3,500 or $4,500 credit is applied toward purchase of new vehicle
• Cannot participate in CARS program more than once

The program has these requirements to prevent explicit abuse of the Cash For Clunkers program. Otherwise, owners could simply drive to the junkyard in Renton or Everett, buy a junk pickup truck for a hundred dollars and tow it to the dealership for a essentially a free rebate.

Having a scrapping requirement is also interesting, as it limits newer cars from participating in the program due to the immediate trade in loss. This means that the owner of a 2003 Toyota Corolla would not be inclined to participate in Cars for Clunkers as their vehicle still has a $7000 trade in value. By participating in the program, they would only receive a $3,500 to $4,500 credit plus scrap value toward the purchase of a new car.

How Much Cash Credit Do I Get for my Trade In?

If your vehicle qualifies for the Cash For Clunkers program, dealerships that participate are required to offer you an instant credit/rebate toward the purchase of a new, fuel efficient vehicle. The rebate differs depending on the type of vehicle you are purchasing and the difference in fuel economy between your trade-in and newer vehicle.

Trading in old passenger car for new passenger car:
Fuel economy improvement from 4 to 10 MPG: $3,500 credit
Fuel economy improvement over 10 MPG: $4,500 credit

Trading in old passenger car for new truck:
Fuel economy improvement from 2 to 5 MPG: $3,500 credit
Fuel economy improvement over 5 MPG: $4,500 credit

Trading in old truck to new truck:
Fuel economy improvement from 1 to 2 MPG: $3,500 credit
Fuel economy improvement over 2 MPG: $4,500 credit

While Seattle is primarily a city of passenger vehicles, the Cash for Clunkers program is a huge (some would say ridiculous) incentive for owners of old trucks or SUVs. The short of it is that if your car has a trade-in value less than $4,500, the program is an incredibly incentive to purchase a new car.

How does the Cash For Clunkers Trade Process Work with the Dealership

Though many sources mention that a voucher is required to participate, that is not true. You need no paperwork and during the trade in, the dealer handles all of the paperwork between them and the NHTSA. Provided that your trade in meets the qualifications for the Cash for Clunkers program, the $3,500 or $4,500 credit is immediately applied toward your new car.

There have been some reports coming out about dealerships (though none we’ve heard about in Seattle) telling customers that they will receive a rebate check from the NHTSA directly, the trade in needs to be held until cleared, or that there are fees or contracts to participate in the program. All of these practices are against the terms of the program and the NHTSA even asks that you report dealerships who tell you this. To repeat, the program takes no filing of paper work on the consumer side – only proof of meeting the requirements of the trade in.

However, some dealerships are wary of the Cash for Clunkers program because of the potential financial risk. It takes ten days after submitting the paperwork to the NHTSA for the dealership to know whether or not they will be credited for the trade-in. In the event they are not credited, the dealer will be out of $3,500 or $4,500 credit. This puts the onus on the dealer to correctly inspect and file the paperwork.

Most dealerships, especially those in the Seattle area, that we have talked to, are thrilled about the program – and rightly so. The Cash for Clunkers program may well be a financial stimulus program for the auto industry and a much needed rescue for domestic automakers like GM.

So, if you were thinking about trading in your old vehicle, seriously consider the Cash for Clunkers program, as it may be the best financial incentive in history to trade up for a new car. The program ran out of money within the first two weeks when it first rolled around earlier this year, so even though the program expires on the first of November, there is a good chance the program will be out of cash far before then.

Here’s the press release from the Washington State Department of Transportation

WSDOT: Gas prices and the recession can’t take all the credit for reduced congestion
OLYMPIA – Washington drivers are spending less time stuck in traffic despite growing vehicle volumes during peak commute periods in urban areas, according to a national study released to news media today. WSDOT’s own data crunchers attribute the trend to the declining economy, but contend that smart transportation investments and operational strategies are what will keep travel times reasonable well after the economy recovers.
The 2009 Urban Mobility Report, a national study released today by the Texas Transportation Institute, announces that congestion is declining or leveling off across the country, and attributes the cause to rising gas prices and the declining economy. WSDOT agrees that commutes are improving, but draws other conclusions as to the cause.
Puget Sound region travel trends are somewhat different than those found nationally. The TTI report draws from 2007 data. For this period, Washington’s economy was still very robust and added jobs. Our own congestion data shows continued increases in travel times for key Puget Sound corridors in 2007, although the increase is at a lesser rate than in previous years.
The data supports that congestion is improving in part because of Moving Washington, WSDOT’s program for addressing congestion. Moving Washington is a three-part strategy comprised of adding highway capacity strategically, operating the system efficiently and managing demand.

“We’re fighting congestion with safety improvements, construction projects, advanced freeway operations and providing transportation options,” said State Traffic Engineer Ted Trepanier. “While it is clear that many factors influence congestion, there is no question that our strategies are making a positive impact.” he said.
WSDOT analyzed on seven major Seattle-area commuting corridors in the first six months of 2008, as gas prices surged above $4 per gallon. While it’s true that Washington drivers used 63 million fewer gallons of fuel in the first six months of 2008, peak period volumes still continued to grow on these key commuter routes. The most notable changes in traffic volumes were observed on weekends and evenings as drivers reduced discretionary trips, changed destinations or cut trips to save money.
Although congestion remains heavy on several corridors, travel times on six of seven key Puget Sound corridors either improved or remained level for the first half of 2008, compared to 2007.
Four of seven major corridors saw increased traffic volumes during peak periods, yet six corridors experienced better travel times as traffic flow improved and disruptions declined. Improved travel times through some of the region’s busiest corridors suggest that WSDOT’s congestion relief strategies and their associated projects, combined with higher gas prices and rising transit ridership, had a positive effect on the performance of these corridors in the first six months of 2008.
WSDOT is currently delivering the largest capital construction program in our state’s history, including hundreds of safety and congestion relief projects funded by the 2003 and 2005 gas tax, worth $6.5 billion. As of June 30, WSDOT has completed 192 of 391 projects with an additional 83 projects currently under construction. Combined, these projects represent 70% of the total number of projects for both the Nickel and TPA programs.
WSDOT publishes an annual congestion report that provides detailed travel time and traffic delay analysis and highlights “Before and After” case studies of its safety and congestion relief projects. It measures the results from the driver’s perspective for each completed project.
In King County, WSDOT widened the freeway and improved interchanges on I-405 between Kirkland and Bothell. This $82 million project, the first of the multi-stage Kirkland Nickel project, was completed in October 2007. Based on travel speeds before and after the project was completed, drivers’ speeds have increased by 16%, from 37 mph to 43 mph. The Tukwila to Bellevue morning commute improved by 12 minutes in part due to new WSDOT auxiliary lane on I-405, opened in early 2009.
WSDOT recently completed one of the largest construction projects ever delivered in Snohomish County, the $263.4 million I-5 Everett HOV and Freeway Expansion project. This project combined added capacity, safety and operational improvements by adding HOV lanes to demonstrate that our Moving Washington strategy can reap big benefits. Before the project began in 2005, afternoon commuters headed northbound on I-5 between 128th Street and Marine View Drive spent up to 18 minutes moving through this eight mile stretch of highway. After crews opened the new lanes in May 2008, commuters shaved their commute to 10 minutes. Without congestion, travelers can drive through this section of I-5 in eight minutes.
In Clark County, WSDOT widened two miles of I-5 between Salmon Creek and the I-205 interchange. This $44 million project was one of several aimed at improving traffic flow in the I-5 corridor between the Main Street interchange in Vancouver and the I-205 junction.
Result: Drivers’ travel speeds have improved 19% from 42 mph to 50 mph.
