Do you have a car?
If the answer is "YES", that means you really want your car to be insured. Well, Car Insurance, also known as Auto Insurance, Vehicle Insurance or Motor Insurance, is a kind of Insurance purchased by consumers for cars, trucks, and other vehicles that consumers owned. With Car Insurance, it's primary use is to ensure or to provide protection against losses incurred as a result of traffic accidents, theft, fire damage and against liability that could be incurred in an accident and many other factors.
Now, please take a look at some countries like:
- United States: In the United States, Auto Insurance covering liability for injuries and property damage done to others is compulsory in most states, though enforcement of the requirement varies from state to state. The state of New Hampshire, for example, does not require motorists to carry liability insurance (the ballpark model), while in Virginia residents must pay the state a $500 annual fee per vehicle if they choose not to buy liability insurance.
- United Kingdom: The minimum level of insurance cover commonly available and which satisfies the requirement of the act is called third party only insurance. The level of cover provided by Third party only insurance is basic but does exceed the requirements of the act. The act requires that motorists either be insured, have a security, or have made a specified deposit ( £500,000 as of 1991) with the Accountant General of the Supreme Court, against their liability for injuries to others (including passengers) and for damage to other persons' property resulting from use of a vehicle on a public road or in other public places.
- Canada: Basic auto insurance is mandatory throughout Canada with each province's government determining which benefits are included as minimum required auto insurance coverage and which benefits are options available for those seeking additional coverage. Accident benefits coverage is mandatory everywhere except for Newfoundland and Labrador.
Why The Consumers need to buy Insurance Premium?
Well, depending on the jurisdiction, the insurance premium can be either mandated by the government or determined by the insurance company in accordance to a framework of regulations set by the government. Often, the insurer will have more freedom to set the price on physical damage coverages than on mandatory liability coverages. When the premium is not mandated by the government, it is usually derived from the calculations of an actuary based on statistical data. The premium can vary depending on many factors that are believed to have an impact on the expected cost of future claims including the car characteristics, the coverage selected ( deductible, limit, covered perils), the profile of the driver ( age, gender, driving history) and the usage of the car (commute to work or not, predicted annual distance driven).
