NY Auto Insurance Deductibles

When discussing auto insurance with a new client, deductibles are often the first thing that client wants to talk about.

Is there a way to save money and get the deductibles lower?

Auto insurance consumers are very concerned with deductibles because they see deductibles as the money they will have to spend to get their cars fixed after an accident. To a certain extent, they are not wrong.

 

What is an Albany NY Auto Insurance Deductible?

Basically, the auto insurance deductible is the portion of repair costs that the policy holder will have to pay before the insurance company starts to contribute.

If you have a $500 deductible and a $1,000 loss…

…you will pay $500 and the insurance company will pay $500.

On most auto insurance policies, the deductible only applies to physical damage losses and not to liability losses.

It is important to remember that carrying a higher deductible amount can lower your monthly auto insurance premiums.
