- Provide adequate notice to your current company to cancel the current policy and submit a down payment along with a signed application to the new company. Make sure you keep the new proof of insurance paperwork in a readily accessible location in your vehicle.

Three main reasons to buy auto insurance
Even though it’s not necessarily cheap to insure a Volkswagen in Oklahoma City, insuring your vehicle is required by state law in Oklahoma and it also provides benefits you may not be aware of.
- Most states have minimum liability requirements which means you are required to carry specific minimum amounts of liability coverage in order to license the vehicle. In Oklahoma these limits are 25/50/25 which means you must have $25,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.
- If you bought your R32 with a loan, almost all lenders will make it a condition of the loan that you buy full coverage to guarantee payment of the loan. If you let the policy lapse, the lender may have to buy a policy to insure your Volkswagen for a much higher rate and force you to pay for it.
- Insurance safeguards not only your vehicle but also your assets. It will also provide coverage for medical bills for not only you but also any passengers injured in an accident. One policy coverage, liability insurance, also covers legal expenses in the event you are sued. If your car is damaged in a storm or accident, comprehensive and/or collision insurance will pay to repair the damage minus the deductible amount.
The benefits of insuring your car more than cancel out the cost, particularly if you ever have a claim. According to a 2015 survey, the average American driver is wasting up to $865 each year so we recommend shopping around every year to be sure current rates are still competitive.
Don’t assume everyone needs the same insurance coverage
Always keep in mind that when comparing proper insurance coverage, there really isn’t a perfect coverage plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and your insurance should be unique as well.

- How can I get the company to pay a claim?
- Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
- Can my teen drive my company car?
- When should I have rental car coverage?
- Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
- How many claims can I have before being canceled?
- Are combined or split liability limits better?
- Does my policy cover me if I wreck while driving under the influence?

Two different types of auto insurance agents
When researching a local insurance agency, it can be helpful to understand the different types of agents and how they are slightly different. Agents are either independent agents or exclusive agents. Either type can properly insure your vehicles, but it’s a good idea to understand the difference in how they write coverage because it may have an impact on the type of agent you choose.
Exclusive Insurance Agencies
Agents that elect to be exclusive normally can only provide a single company’s rates such as Allstate and State Farm. These agents are unable to provide other company’s prices so if the price isn’t competitive there isn’t much they can do. They are well schooled on their company’s products which helps offset the inability to provide other markets.
The following is a short list of exclusive agencies in Oklahoma City who can help you get price quote information.

Auto insurance coverage information
Having a good grasp of auto insurance helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the normal coverages offered by auto insurance companies.
Medical expense insurance
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for bills for rehabilitation expenses, ambulance fees, X-ray expenses, EMT expenses and funeral costs. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Volkswagen R32.
Due to the fact that many Oklahoma drivers have only the minimum liability required by law (25/50/25 in Oklahoma), it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Liability coverages
Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as pain and suffering, loss of income and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford. Oklahoma state minimum liability requirements are 25/50/25 but you should think about purchasing better liability coverage.
The chart below shows why low liability limits may not be high enough to adequately cover claims.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like damage from flooding, hail damage, theft, hitting a bird and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage covers damage to your R32 caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things like hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also increase the deductible on your R32 to get cheaper collision coverage.
