Insurance premiums nowadays are high so I made a decision to cut back on my auto and health insurance spending. I didn¡¯t bother to weigh the pros and cons. I literally gave it a shot for a cheap insurance because I am more concerned about my current financial condition at that time. I wish I had exercise more judgment.
Paying for a cheap insurance can also mean substandard service. Auto insurance companies should be sensitive to policyholders¡¯ needs. I have this inkling before that settling for the cheapest insurance rate I encountered is a great way for me to save.
Processing for insurance claims can be quite taxing. So it is such a relief for every policyholder if processing for claims is faster and more efficient. But I did not experience that the last time I filed a claim. I got involved in a road accident.
Do I have regrets in choosing the cheapest policy I encountered? I do have regrets so recently I looked for auto insurance quotes. I heard that it is a great way of finding affordable insurance policy. What I mean with the word affordable is that the quality of the coverage is not sacrificed. More often than not, cheap insurance sacrifices coverage.
Cheap also means I have to wait for a long time before my claim was approved. I am not saying that getting a cheap car insurance is not a good idea. It is just that, taking time to compare policies is better than not comparing at all because you are losing something.
I failed to remind myself that I should have exercised a bird¡¯s eye view. Looking into the bigger picture and not just only my finances is a skill I must master. Sometimes I am a compulsory buyer and it shows in my insurance buying behavior.
Lucky me, I realize how important it is to take time in choosing the right policy. One advice I have for other people? The price of goods and services connotes something so be wary.
