Halogen Safety Headlights - Kentucky Insurance

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Halogen Safety Headlights:

“Replacing your existing halogen headlight bulbs with high-performance replacement bulbs can increase night visibility and safety. The higher “color temperature,” or whiteness, of available replacement bulbs is closer to that of HID headlights than it is to that of standard halogen bulbs. (The higher the temperature of the bulb, the brighter it is). The color temperature of non-halogen tungsten headlights is approximately 2000°Kelvin (K); standard halogen headlights are 3000°K; and HID lamps are 4100°K. High-performance halogen replacements are 4000°K, almost as high as the HID lamps. …..” learn more about Safety Halogen Headlights from Progressive Insurance

Shedding Light on Car Insurance Savings

Friday, October 26th, 2007

It can be easier than you think to put the brakes on high auto insurance rates- as an independent insurance agency, Dick Watts Insurance can help! We can review your policy and possibly help you find a variety of ways to save money. Here are some ways to save on your insurance:

  • Ask us to check several Kentucky Insurance companies’ rates. This is the single most important thing you can do to get the best possible rate- and we can do it for you quickly and easily. The difference between the highest and lowes rate available to you from different Kentucky insurance companies could vary by hundreds of dollars.
  • Reduce or drop physical damage coverage on an older vehicle. Depending on your car’s arge and where you live, comprehensive and collision coverage may not be worth keeping. We can help you decide on whether it makes sense to reduce or drop this coverage.
  • Raise your deductible. According to the Insurance Information Institute, raising your deductible from $200 to $500 could reduce your collision and comprehensive cost by up to 10-20%. In addition, becasue the average driver files a collision claim only once every ten years, odds are that over the lifetime of your car, a higher deductible will save you money. We can show you how raising your deductible will lower your premium.
  • Look for discounts. Many insurance companies reduce premiums for certain driver traits or car features. For example, being a homeowner for more than 3 years, senior citizens who have taken an approved defensive driving course, anti-lock brakes, anti-theft devices, air bets. etc. Ask us to check
  • Don’t assume having your car and home insured by the same company is the best option. Because auto insurance rates vary so much from company to company, it may make sense to have your car and home insured by separate companies. Let’s talk about it.
