What Is No Fault Auto Insurance?
Reader’s Question:
A friend told me once that Kentucky is a no fault auto insurance state Can you please tell me what that’s all about? Is that beneficial?
Carrie
Bowling Green, KY
First things first. You know how, generally, insurance companies or you yourself can go after the driver at fault to try to recuperate financial damages? Well, with no-fault car insurance, your insurance company will protect you regardless of whose fault the accident was. Yes, even if it was YOUR fault. Hence the phrase “no fault.” So, why doesn’t everyone take out no fault insurance, you may ask. First, it’s because not all states offer this kind of insurance. Your friend is right. Bowling Green, Kentucky is a no fault area because the state of Kentucky is a no fault state. There are only twelve states that have no fault systems, I think. What’s more, in Kentucky, you can actually choose between the traditional type and the no fault type.
Another reason why some people choose tort insurance (traditional) over no fault is because, as with everything, there are two sides to this kind of insurance. Your insurance company will already indemnify you, so your capacity to sue the other driver for damages is therefore limited. One advantage that I can see about no fault is that of faster payments for injuries and the possibility of getting cheaper premiums because the costs of determining who is at fault is done away with. However, others argue that it promotes reckless driving since people are indemnified even if it was they who caused the accident
What Grade Point Average Does Teen Driver Need For Car Insurance Discount ?
Reader’s Question:
I have a 16 year old teenage son and I was wondering what grade point average he needs in the state of Kentucky to qualify for a car insurance discount?
Bill
Louisville, KY
I am not aware of that grade point average that someone has to carry in order to be able to have car insurance in KY. What I do know is that KY does have a form of the No Pass, No Drive law in Kentucky though that authorizes the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to have administration regulations regarding a young or minor driver licensing applicant.
This administration regulation, requires participating schools to inform the Transportation Cabinet if a minor is academically deficient or withdraws from school. Therefore as a 16 or 17 year old and you drop out of a participating school or deemed to be deficient academically, you will lose your driver’s license.
Free Windshield Replacement With Kentucky Auto Insurance?
Reader’s Question:
I would like to know if the state of Kentucky has free windshield replacement coverage on my auto insurance? And if so, what do I do to get it?
Sandra
The answer is Yes. You can get your windshield replacement meaning no deductible is paid, in Kentucky however you must have Kentucky comprehensive coverage on your car. If you only have liability coverage on your car you will have to pay to get your windshield replaced.
So if you have Kentucky based comprehensive insurance, the Kentucky laws state that your insurance carrier will waive the deductible for windshield repair or replacement, which means no out-of-pocket expense for you.
If your windshield has been broken or cracked so that it needs replaced or repaired then you should make a claim through the comprehensive portion of your car insurance policy.
What is Guest PIP Car Insurance in Kentucky
Reader’s Question:
Can you explain what a Guest PIP in Kentucky is?
Richie
Louisville, KY
Guest PIP is a type of coverage that must be bought if basic PIP has been rejected by the insured’s listed on an insurance policy. The state of Kentucky is a “choice no-fault” and this means that a driver can choose to insure their car under the tort system or the no fault system.
According to the Kentucky Department of Insurance representative, in Kentucky when you buy auto liability coverage you also buy PIP coverage for you, your family and guest passengers (choose the no-fault system).
Usually, guests are defined as those in your car that are not immediate family members. Normally, additional PIP is not afforded to a policy that includes Guest PIP coverage only.

I Need Cheap DUI – SR22 Auto Insurance In Kentucky
Q: Can I buy Kentucky SR22 car insurance coverage online? I live in Auburn.
A: Yes, you can, although it will depend on the car insurance company you prefer as to whether or not this option is available from them. Most of the larger car insurance companies, and even some smaller local ones, have begun offering Auburn SR22 insurance online. You can find insurance this way pretty easily, by using quote sites and other online information in order to find the best company for you. So, not only is it possible to buy your insurance online, but it is in fact preferable, because you save more money if you buy insurance, or at the very least research it online.
Many car insurance companies are noticing the profit involved in selling car insurance online, and have begun to give out incentives to customers who choose to do so. Usually this is done in the form of online car insurance discounts, where you can get five to twenty percent off of your insurance policy if you choose to purchase your insurance online. Discounts like these are made possible by the fact that companies save a lot of money in the range of offices, labor, call centers, and so on by moving their services online and making them more accessible to internet users.
Kentucky SR22 Insurance – Do You Need Lower Rates?
Q: Although I’ve been trying, finding a SR22 car insurance company is proving impossible. How can I get insured now that I have to file an SR22 form?
A: Many companies refuse to offer Kentucky SR22 insurance because it’s simply too risky, and so for those who must file it, looking for a company that does offer it can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. While these companies may show up on the map less frequently or may be more expensive, this isn’t to say that it is impossible to become insured this way. You just have to know where to look.
You need to look for companies which claim to offer high risk insurance, because your SR22 falls into this category. By choosing these companies, you are more likely to be sold an insurance policy, since they sell them to most. If your driving record is really bad, though, you might be denied even by them.
But the road doesn’t end there. If you can’t take out a SR22 policy from a high risk policy, you can go ahead and join the state assigned risk pool, where you will definitely get insured.
Kentucky Non Owner SR22 Insurance – Check These Rates
Q: I have non owner SR22 insurance in Kentucky and recently defaulted on a student loan. I renewed my insurance policy this month and the rates are suddenly much higher. Are these two things related? Is this legal?
A: Since I can’t see your records with your car insurance company, I can’t tell you for sure, but I would say that it is very likely that the two are related, and it is also very legal. Although car insurance companies won’t do this every time you renew your policy, many do check your credit when you get a new policy and do so again once every one to three years. Companies who do this, and most do, are following the lead of companies which sell other types of insurance by using credit reports to compile an insurance risk score.
For those who have bad credit and are excellent drivers, it may seem more than a little unfair for them to be charged so much on their insurance for something they think is unrelated, but many 24 year old male drivers could say the same. What studies show, though, is that if you have bad credit, you will probably be filing a few car insurance claims. People with bad credit also have a history of, like you, defaulting on payments, and car insurance companies want customers they can be sure will pay them every month.
Kentucky SR22 Auto Insurance Quotes
Q: How am I supposed to get a cheap Kentucky SR22 auto insurance quote? My current company charges me so much!
A: It sounds like it could be time for you to make a little change of company in order to get a SR22 auto insurance quote in Kentucky. Changing companies is often necessary when rates start to rise, and shopping around is the best and most common way for people to save money on their auto insurance. Even if you have been with a car insurance company for several years, they will not always have the best car insurance prices, so change can be good.
Most people are overpaying for their auto insurance quote simply because they don’t look at all of what is available to them. Studies have shown that your average American pays around four hundred dollars too much for their car insurance premium. Premiums vary greatly between one company, and there can be as much as eight hundred dollars in difference between companies. In order to avoid overpaying, you should regularly look for a better SR22 auto insurance quote.
