Reader’s Question:

The state where I came from requires drivers to have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (which I don’t know what for). I don’t know yet if they do the same here in Indiana, so can I opt not to have it? What else can I not have just to save on my auto insurance?

Garett

South Bend, IN

Uninsured motorist coverage would pay for any medical expenses that are caused by another driver who does not have auto insurance. Also, if you or your car becomes a victim of hit-and-run, uninsured coverage will also pay for the damage. For underinsured motorist coverage, this will pay for you and your car if you get into an accident where the other driver is at-fault and he/she doesn’t have enough car insurance to cover the damages. In this event, the at-fault driver’s insurance would pay out to its limits and then your underinsured motorist coverage will for the rest. These types of coverage are, luckily, not required in the state of Indiana. This means that you may opt not to have it, thus, saving on your auto insurance.

There are also some other things that you may opt not to have in order for you to save some money on your auto insurance. Some of these are towing and medical payments coverage because these things can be covered by other sources. For instance, if you have health insurance, this would pay for your medical bills. Therefore, it will not be necessary for you to have medical payments coverage as part of your auto insurance policy.

Reader’s Question:

I got my DUI here in Lafayette, Indiana almost three years ago and my insurance rates are still very high. So my question is, how long will my drunk driving conviction affect my auto insurance rates?

Carissa

Lafayette, IN

The length of time that your drunk driving conviction in Lafayette, Indiana would affect your auto insurance rates depends on both the auto insurance company regulations and the laws of the state. States have different periods of time that a DUI stays on the motorist’s driving record. It could stay on you motor vehicle record for as short as a few years to as long as 10 years depending on the state and the circumstances concerning your DUI. As long as the conviction is on your driving record, it would likely have an effect on your premiums.

Every insurance company has its own means of assessing and grading people. You might want to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to check out how long your DUI is going to remain on your driving record and you can contact your insurance agent to check out how long your auto insurance provider would continue to have a higher rate on your policy.
