Auto insurance rates in Louisiana are some of the highest in the country, which reinforces the need for comparison shopping. Rates can vary significantly from one driver to the next because the rates are calculated using several different variables. When determining how much to charge you for your Slidell car insurance premiums, insurance companies will consider these factors:

• The make, model, year and safety features of the vehicle(s) you wish to insure
• Your ZIP code, i.e., where you live and store the vehicle(s) you are insuring
• The age, sex and marital status of all licensed drivers in your household
• The driving record and claims history of all licensed drivers in your household
• The estimated number of miles you drive per year
• The amount of liability coverage you wish to purchase
• The policy options you wish to include with your coverage
• The deductible you are requesting

Every insurance company has its own method for assessing risk and assigning rates, so comparison shopping enables you to choose the Slidell auto insurance policy that offers you the best value for your money.

Number of Uninsured Motorists in Louisiana

• Number of uninsured U.S. drivers: 13%
• Number of uninsured Louisiana drivers: 13%

If an uninsured or a hit-and-run driver is responsible for an accident that causes you injuries or property damage, that driver is still required to cover your losses. However, you may find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to collect this reimbursement, even with a court order. Fortunately, if your Slidell auto insurance policy includes uninsured motorist coverage, this is not a problem. In such an instance, your insurance company covers your damage and then attempts to recover the funds from the offending driver on its own behalf.

Number of Auto Thefts in Louisiana

• National number of thefts per 1,000 vehicles: 2.28
• Louisiana number of thefts per 1,000 vehicles: 2.47

The rate of car theft in the state of Louisiana is lower than the national average. In Slidell, the rate falls roughly in the middle. Recently, there were 68 auto thefts reported in this city. That equates to about 2.48 thefts per 1,000 vehicles – less than the national average, but greater than the state average.

If your car is stolen or damaged by vandals, you can receive compensation from your insurance company only if your policy includes comprehensive (also called “other than collision”) insurance. In addition to theft, this insurance covers damage caused by such things as falling objects, floods, vandalism, and non-collision-related fires. If you financed the purchase of your car and are still making payments, you are likely required by your lender to have this coverage.
