Medical payments is a coverage designed to cover the medical expense of individuals within your car.

You can cancel a personal insurance policy (i.e. Auto, Home, Boat, etc.) at any time without penalty UNLESS your policy has a cancellation fee or a minimum earned premium amount however, most preferred insurance carriers in California do not have cancellation fees.

The simple answer is: Yes. Your insurance policy will cover your rental car as long as you have comprehensive and collision (full coverage) on your current policy. Simply put, whatever coverage you have on your current policy, it will transfer to a rental car.

Here is where things get tricky. If you’re renting a car from a rental car agency, and that agency is charging you, or the insurance company a daily rate, then you could be on the hook for that daily rate if the car is in the shop being fixed by your insurance policy.

If you’re in a new place, or if you have the rental car for a longer period of time, it’s our suggestion that you purchase the insurance agreement from the rental car agency. This will make sure that the daily charges are paid for by the rental car insurance policy.

The best way to assure that your rates remain competitive is to work with an independent insurance agency, like Salmon Insurance Group. However, the rate you pay is not as important as having the RIGHT coverage.

3. Once you find someone that you are comfortable with, make an appointment, and ask them to provide you with a need analysis and what policies and coverages you need in place.

There are five common ways to lower your insurance.

1) Are we bundling all of your policies together? If you only have one line of insurance with us (auto without home or renters, and vice versa) you’re probably paying more than you need to. Putting everything together in one place is a great way to reduce your premium on each policy.

2) If you have any young drivers in the home, they may qualify for a “good student discount” if they have a high school GPA that is 3.0 or better

3) If you’re insuring some of your household vehicles on different policies, you could be paying too much. Having all of your cars together gives you a multicar discount

4) What do you do for a living? Certain occupations like: Police officers, firefighters, teachers and educators, registered nurses, scientists, and those with a four year college degree qualify for certain occupational discounts.

5) Does your home or car have an active alarm? Having one can also reduce the premiums on your policies.
