My wife drivers license has been suspended for almost ten years. Can she still obtain car insurance. I have a learner permit and I have a used vehicle and I need car insurance. I tried to obtain car insurance however the insurance provider said that I need a full valid drivers license. Can my wife get the auto insurance in Appleton, Wisconsin?

It is possible that some insurance carriers will be able to insure your wife no longer have suspended drivers license and is getting her new valid drivers license. State laws vary with regards to suspended license and auto insurance laws.

Your car insurance and your spouse’s auto insurance will likely be categorize as high risk since you only have learner’s permit and is considered inexperienced driver and your wife has a suspended driver’s license for ten years.

I am currently under my parent’s car insurance policy. I cant afford to get car insurance yet on my own since I am only 18 years old.. I live with my parents in Wisconsin but they are planning to move in Illinois. Can I stay on their auto insurance if I wont be living in the same household? I have my own vehicle.

No, it is not likely that your parent’s insurance policy will be able to continue to have you and your vehicle if they move out of state. The state of Illinois has different auto insurance liability requirements than the state of WI so that is one problem that may arise but also most all insurance companies will not cover an individual and the vehicle that is not part of the household. Since your vehicle will be garaged in Kenosha Wisconsin and not at the address of your parents then an insurance provider will not usually allow you or your vehicle to be covered on your parent’s insurance policy once they move, especially to a different state.

You can check if there are ways in which to lower the car insurance premium. You can look for car insurance discounts such as safety features on your vehicle for one. Other ways in which to obtain discounts may be taking a driver improvement course or safety course, some insurance company lower car insurance rates if you take approved traffic class. In addition if you are going to school and maintaining good grades some insurance companies give good student discounts.

I am just wondering if there are insurance provider in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that will insure delivery drivers like me?

Bennett

Milwaukee, WI

If you have an employer and you are not an independent contractor verify with your employer to know if the insurer in Milwaukee will provide you coverage while you are engaged in that employer’s job.

Business or commercial driving rates, newspaper carriers, delivery services and real estate agents fall into this same category, are higher than those in standard personal auto policy policies.

Since most personal car policies will exclude coverage for the car while it is being used for business purposes you will likely have to get a commercial or business use policy for your car since you will be delivery property for money.

How long does a speeding ticket remain on your record for insurance carriers? Was it three years? What is the current auto insurance rate in Wisconsin?

James

Green Bay, WI

Normally insurance carriers have a look back period to rate on an offense conviction for three, five or seven years. Since your speeding ticket would be on your driving record for five years then an insurance carrier could rate you on this violation for that time period or for a lesser time period.

Since insurance carriers look back period and rating systems differ so you will need to contact your insurance provider to check how long they will rate you on the speeding ticket.Your insurance agent in Green Bay, Wisconsin should be able to inform you about your insurance carrier’s rating system and/or you can contact the Wisconsin insurance regulator with whom surcharge and rates information must be filed with.

Rates vary from person to person, zip code to zip code I can only suggest you get a quote and find your rates.

I received my first offense of DUI in  Wisconsin. My license was suspended immediately. Can I still be covered by an insurance carrier with a suspended license? If an insurance provider finds out about the DUI conviction, how much does car insurance rates increase?

Britney

Kenosha, WI

The penalties for operating while intoxicated (OWI) in Kenosha Wisconsin can include forfeiture of car and revocation of license for the first time conviction, 3 year license revocation, to up to six years imprisonment, and possible seizure of car for subsequent violations. Also, more harsh penalties apply if death or injury results.

With a drunk driving conviction, car insurance rates tend to increase quite a bit. The amount of the auto insurance rate increase will depend upon your insurance carrier’s rating system. If your insurance does rise to an unmanageable amount, you may get a lower DUI car insurance quote in Wisconsin.

If the estimate to repair a car is more than the automobile is worth, will car insurance pay the additional cost to repair? I live in Appleton, Wisconsin. What is the actual insurance requirement?

Carol

Appleton, WI

Normally an Appleton, Wisconsin insurance carrier will not pay more than a vehicle is worth to repair it. As a matter of fact, many times if the cost to repair the vehicle is anywhere from 75 -100% of the value of the car an insurance provider will not pay for repairs but instead total out the car and pay the policyholder actual cash value (ACV) for the automobile.

When a vehicle’s damage reach, and especially they exceed, the value of the vehicle it is not economical for an insurance carrier to repair the vehicle instead of settlement with the owner for the actual cash value or fair market value of the automobile. Repairs, towing, storage costs, rental reimbursement costs are all taken into consideration by an insurance carrier when determining if a vehicle should be totaled out or not.

If the cost of damages is nearly the actual cash value of the vehicle and there are other expenses such as towing and storage of the car that are also costly then many times the vehicle will be declared a total loss even if the damages alone are not as costly as the the value of the vehicle but with the extras it makes more economical sense to total out the car and sell it for salvage.

If I want to find an insurance provider in Wisconsin online to check their background how would I go about getting information on that company?  I am looking for a Wisconsin auto insurance company that will treat me fairly.

Ray

To get the background on an insurance carrier in Wisconsin, the first thing you may want to do is to look at the company’s own website. Most insurance companies have an “about us” section that provides information on their history, noteworthy accomplishments, and mission.

Of course since any Wisconsin carrier will want to shed themselves in a good light you should also look with other carriers that are not affiliated with them to have more reliable information on that carrier. Word of mouth is good as well, if family or friends have used them and can give you feedback. There are companies which provide an objective look into businesses.

When looking for car insurance carriers in Wisconsin do not forget to go to a great state source of knowledge, which is your state’s insurance regulator. Most states’ insurance regulatory agencies publish consumer complaint ratios for the insurance providers licensed to do business in the state. These ratios can inform you how many complaints a car insurance company has received per 1,000 claims filed.

Do I still need to carry an SR-22 insurance to get an occupational license in Wisconsin if I already have full car insurance?

Harry

Janesville, WI

In the state of WI, proof of financial responsibility should set a liability insurance in the amounts of at least $25,000 and $50,000 for personal injury or death and $10,000 for property damage. This proof of insurance is filed by obtaining an SR-22 certificate issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in WI. Substitutions, such as a bond from an insurance company or a cash deposit of $60,000 posted with the WI Department of Transportation (DOT) will be accepted in some cases.

An SR-22 is required by the state in order to obtain an occupational license or to reinstate a driver’s license after operating privileges or vehicle registration has been revoked. You can have more auto insurance than what the state requires as a proof of insurance but you will still need your insurer to file the SR-22 since it is a requirement for obtaining an occupational license. So even though you have full coverage, it does not matter since it is mandated by your state law.

I would suggest contacting WI DOT for more information on what is needed to get an occupational license in Janesville, Wisconsin. You will need to obtain new auto insurance coverages through an insurance carrier who does work with SR22s if your current insurance provider does not file the SR-22 form.

I have always paid my bills on time and never had a problem with my car insurance. But, recently my MVR score got affected and I wasn’t given the cheapest rate by my insurance provider and I dont know why. I’ve heard rumors of new vehicles (especially red ones) increasing an individuals insurance. Is it true? My new vehicle is red. I live in Wisconsin.

You might be confused with your Consumer Credit Report and MVR. Your MVR is a documents pertaining to your driving. It will include items such as if your driver’s license is current and if you have any insurance points. Points are generally given for a driving violation and the more points the worse your MVR. An insurance carrier checks your MVR to check how much of a risk you might be as a motorist. If your MVR has negatives on it, such as a a big number of points or prior license suspension it would most likely affect your insurance policy costs negatively.

Your consumer credit report in Wisconsin is a documentation that lists your credit history using information from financial institutions such as merchants, banks and other creditors. It has been studied and found that those with bad credit reports are more likely to file car claims thus their insurance rate might be higher than those with excellent credit histories.
