Person Holding Car KeysAuto insurance can be a difficult thing to wrap your head around. When you’re talking to an insurance agent, you may feel overwhelmed or even a little embarrassed to ask questions in fear of being viewed as unintelligent. Asking questions is the best way to learn about anything, and drilling an insurance agent with questions concerning coverage, deductibles, and premiums will help you better understand auto insurance. Here are a few answers to more commonly asked car insurance questions.

What Is the Cost of Car Insurance?

There are no simple answers here, other than exploring the factors that most affect the price of auto insurance. Your sex, marital status, and age have an impact on the total cost. For example, after much data collection and studies, age has been determined to have a significant impact on car insurance premiums. This is due to the younger population having more accidents and speeding tickets overall than older drivers.

Street With Cars With SnowWinter is approaching in Illinois which means temperatures dropping, snowfall, and the dread of having to de-ice your car windshield in the morning. Learn everything you need to know about de-icing your car windshield to ensure a less stress-free morning commute!

Prevent an Icy Windshield Ahead Of Time

Prepping ahead of time can go a long way in order to keep your windshield free of ice. Regularly check your local weather, and if precipitation is ever in the forecast during cold weather, use a tarp or sheet to cover the windshield overnight. However, when inches of snow is expected, these covers may be difficult and unwieldy. Commercial sprays that prevent ice from attaching to the glass are available on the market, but they can become costly. A combination of three parts white vinegar to one part water can do the trick to prevent ice from sticking. But this solution should be used carefully, as prolonged exposure of vinegar to painted surfaces can remove the wax. Spray the solution only on the windshield and windows, and wipe away any excess or overspray.
