Differences Between Purchasing Auto Insurance for a Used Car and Brand New Car

Purchasing a car on its own can be a bit stressful on its own with all of the options you may be presented with. However, what happens if you are choosing between a brand new car and a used car? A major difference between the two options is figuring out how different are the available insurance policies. Here is a quick rundown on auto insurance differences between used cars and new cars. 

Harrison Insurance and Financials LTD is based in Hailey, ID. We are a local agency that has served the drivers on the road for 31 years. We take great pride in what we do by making sure our clients are happy and satisfied with the auto insurance policies that they utilize from us. When it comes to purchasing insurance for a used car versus a new car, there are important factors to take into consideration. 

With a used car, the insurance is likely to be on the lower end of the spectrum due to the fact of depreciation value, and the features that come along with the car. It may not be necessary for you to get full coverage auto insurance for a used car. 

However, purchasing a brand new car off of the lot will come with a variety of factors. Routine repairs/maintenance for a new car is going to be more expensive to cover and a high price for totaling/replacing if necessary. Another factor that is taken into consideration for both options is your driving record. 

Discuss with one of our agents at Harrison Insurance and Financial LTD about any concerns or questions that you have. Contact our office in Hailey, ID to speak with one of our agents about the available options for your auto insurance needs.
