Titan Auto Insurance
From LoveToKnow Insurance
Ever since it wrote its very first policy in 1991, Titan Auto insurance (Titan) has grown to become one of the country's top ten non-standard auto insurance providers. Its success attracted the attention of Nationwide Insurance, a leading national insurer, who acquired and added it to the Nationwide Mutual Insurance family of companies in August 2003.
Insurance for High-Risk Drivers
Titan Auto insurance is a Specialty Auto carrier that caters to high-risk drivers. Standard and preferred insurance companies would not even consider insuring most of Titan's customers. This car insurance company specializes in insuring licensed drivers who:
- Have no prior insurance
- Have lapsed insurance coverage
- Have little driving experience
- Have accidents, violations and even Driving While Intoxicated (DWIs)
- Have an international drivers license
- Need proof of insurance (an SR-22)
Passenger Automobiles
Titan underwrites private passenger automobile insurance through Titan Indemnity Company. It is rated A+ (superior) by A. M. Best for financial stability. A. M. Best is a rating organization that evaluates an insurance company's financial strength and its ability to pay out claims for all its policyholders. An "A" rating indicates that Titan is a financially-stable company that can ably meet it obligations to policyholders.
Commercial Vehicles
In addition to private automobile coverage, Titan also provides commercial automobile insurance through independent agents. Its commercial insurance coverage is specifically tailored to meet the needs of mono-line commercial auto risks that are "hard to place." It is unique in the breadth of auto risks that qualify for coverage. This commercial policy offers liability limits of up to $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit (CSL). It offers SR-22 filings or Form E if needed, and does not have any gross vehicle weight restrictions. Titan offers its commercial insurance in Michigan, California, Indiana, Florida and Texas.
The Titan Auto Insurance Policy
Titan provides its customers with affordable car insurance for their private passenger vehicles. It specifically offers coverage that is commonly called nonstandard auto insurance, which is tailored to the typical needs of this high-risk market. The company focuses on providing minimum-limit liability coverage. This is coverage that meets the minimum limits of insurance required by the law of each state. While coverage limits vary by state, every state demands that every driver have liability coverage at a minimum. Basic liability coverage consists of:
- Bodily injury coverage - This is coverage that pays out for injury when you are at-fault in an accident.
- Property damage coverage – This is coverage that pays for any damage to another person's car or other property
High-risk drivers also have the option of purchasing physical damage insurance for their vehicles, which includes collision and comprehensive coverages. Because Titan focuses on writing non-standard policies, Titan's liability rates are pretty competitive. The rates for physical damage coverage, which is not a state requirement, are usually not as competitive as those offered by standard and preferred insurers.
