Reader’s Question:
I’ m about to get my own car and I’m currently planning to get automobile insurance, too. I’m wondering how to go about this since I am still living with my family here at Jersey City and my brother would most likely borrow my car every once in a while. Do I need to insure him as well?

Hi Gian, it’s good that you are also thinking about the welfare of your brother, and it’s nice that you are open to sharing your car with him. Have you selected any insurance company yet there at Jersey City, NJ? It would be best if you do research first before signing any papers so that you know what you’re getting into.
First of all, you need to know that your brother also needs an auto insurance policy, especially if you’re expecting him to drive your car. Every driver has to be insured because part of a driver’s responsibility is its liability to others in case there’s a road mishap. You may also have to list all the possible drivers of vehicle, especially those to whom your car would be “regularly available.” This may include every member of your family who is of legal age, whether with a driver’s license or with a learner’s permit. This is mainly due to the fact that premium computations are based on different factors such as the number of drivers of your vehicle and their respective ages. However, if you are getting a comprehensive, third party property motor vehicle insurance, there is no need to list the drivers who have learner’s permits as that data wouldn’t be necessary.
Auto Insurance Companies in New Jersey
Reader’s Question:
Just curious –If my car was totaled, how much can I get for it from my car insurance company here in East Brunswick, New Jersey?
Bill

A lot of car insurance companies, although sadly not all, will give an insured person a reasonable quote, so that you can have your totaled car replaced, but, of course, it will be stupid to expect that you’d get enough money to buy a Ferrari when what you’ve totaled was a Ford, for instance. Your insurance will only pay up to the amount that will be able to replace the car with one of the same kind and condition, most probably.
And just in case you want to know, although it can be estimated that a totaled car’s salvage value can by anywhere from 10 percent to 15 percent at the time of accident, auto insurance companies will be considering a lot of factors, from the car’s condition before the accident happened, to resell prices. There is no definite formula to compute a totaled car’s salvage value until the time it was actually totaled. A person from the insurance company will also examine the wrecked vehicle. Apart from a lot of factors, different car insurance companies also have different methods of computing, which only goes without saying that this may vary widely from state to state. I’d contact my auto insurance agent there in New Brunswick, NJ, if I were you. Tell him to explain stuff to you. It’s his job to make sure that you are informed.

Additionally, women tend to drive shorter distances than men.

Lastly, even though women are more prone to accidents than men, studies show that damages committed by women are minimal as compared to those committed by men.
