Reader’s Question:

I have a friend who wants to borrow my van for almost a month and I heard that there’s short term auto insurance available in  Texas, is it wise for me to get it?  I don’t have a bunch of money to spend so I need something cheap, but want to get a quality policy from a company that I know and trust.  if possible.

Auto insurance can be arranged over a short period of time so that you can borrow a friend’s van or lend your van to a friend. This can make borrowing a vehicle simple and would mean that you can do so without having to go through the hassle of amending an existing policy. This can be very useful for people that are looking to move homes and want to do it without employing a large and expensive house removal firm to do it for them.

There are many auto insurance companies in Texas that will provide you with short-term van insurance and the easiest way to make sure you get the best coverage for your money is to do an online search. An online search request will present you with hundreds of different companies that offer short-term van insurance and you will be able to pick a deal instantly that suits you from a wide range of options. This is convenient if you are trying to get an arrangement sorted quickly.
One of the best ways to lower your annual premiums is to have a higher deductible amount.. Like a $1,000, is what I carry personally.

Now, if you are a claim free and safe driver like I am, you could be saving a ton of money each year on your premiums.  People fail to realize that the deductible amount is only paid when they file a claim and their insurance company pays that claim.

Ask for discounts, you never know what you might be able to get and how much you can save by asking.  Some popular discounts can be given for:

1. Military personnel

2. Good grade students

3. Union membership and bank member affiliations

4. Safe drivers with no claims in last 7 years

5. Defensive driving school attendance

6. Clean credit history – used by many carriers to determine payment risk
