Wisconsin Auto Insurance Quote
Reader’s Question:
What car insurance premium should I expect if I have my “rebuilt” car insured here in Wisconsin?
Philip
Green Bay, WI
Typically, a “rebuilt” title is given to a vehicle that has been damaged and repaired after having been considered a “total loss” by the car insurance company. A vehicle may be considered as a “total loss” if it has been decided that the cost to repair the damage is higher than its “actual cash value.” Normally, the cost of repair falls between 51% to around 80% of the car’s actual cash value (the car insurance company decides on what percentage the repair cost should fall under in order to consider the vehicle a “total loss”). If the car is totaled, it is given a salvage title. However, if the car is repaired and is proven to be ready for the road, it is given a rebuilt title.
In reality, it is difficult to obtain an insurance for a rebuilt vehicle. This is because most automotive insurance companies consider “rebuilt” vehicles as “bad risks” with higher probabilities of getting into an accident again. In case an insurance company agrees on getting your vehicle insured, you may expect that company to give you only a specific amount, something less than the premium that you could actually get if you insure a vehicle that is not titled “rebuilt.” In that case, it is up to you if you want to get that policy or not.

It is likely that the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will be able to assist you track down the at-fault person’s insurance company, if he has one.

Kenosha Wisconsin SR22
Q: I’m kind of temporarily unemployed and so I need my SR22 insurance so I can drive around looking for a part time job, but funds are kind of tight. Is there some way I can save some money?

Some car insurance companies have an age limit on this, so make sure you call yours up before you waste your time and money on the class.
Another class you can take for a cheaper premium is a defensive driving class. Sometimes, if your SR22 is because of drunk driving, the court may require you to take this class. If they have, it won’t count for a discount. However, if they haven’t, call up your car insurance company to find out more.
