Online Quotes
The Eastwood Auto Insurance company provides online quotes to potential customers. All you need to do is fill out an online form with the following information to get an idea of how much your coverage will cost:
- Name of proposed insured
- E-mail address
- Mailing address
- Phone number
- Number of drivers
- Number of vehicles
The quote form also asks whether you currently have auto insurance coverage as well as how soon the coverage is needed. Even if you have coverage in place, you can start shopping around for better rates a few months before your coverage is due to expire.
Asking for a quote is not the same thing as receiving an offer of insurance. The actual amount that your coverage will cost may vary from the amount on the quote since the individual insurance company's underwriters must review your application and decide what level of risk you present. The quote is not considered a binding contract for coverage.
What is Non-Standard Auto Insurance?
Not all drivers are created equal in the eyes of a car insurance company. They have standard rates that they charge for certain drivers, but there is another classification for people who are considered to be a higher risk for insurance purposes. Eastwood Auto Insurance has targeted this market. You may need to look at non-standard auto insurance for your needs in these circumstances:
- You are a young or inexperienced driver.
- You have a poor driving record.
- Your insurance coverage has lapsed.
- You are driving a sports car or other type of high-performance vehicle.
A poor driving record includes:
- Being charged with a DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
- Being charged with a DWI (Driving While Impaired)
- Having outstanding tickets against your vehicle
- Being involved in an accident.
Some insurance companies will sell you a policy with a provision that your first accident is "forgiven" and won't affect your rates, but not all drivers have this type of coverage in place.
The make and model of your vehicle has a bearing on the amount you will pay for coverage. Foreign-made cars that may be more expensive to repair may cost more to insure. Motorcycles may be more expensive to insure as well.
In these situations, a standard auto policy may not meet your needs. Since Eastwood Auto Insurance has developed business relationships with companies prepared to offer coverage at competitive prices, you may be able to get a better rate for non-standard auto insurance coverage by contacting a broker than by approaching an insurance company that services mostly the standard-rate market.
Making a Claim
Eastwood Auto Insurance customers have the option of making a claim on their policy by visiting the company web site and filling out an online form. This option means that the information about the incident can be relayed to the company quickly for processing.
