Reader’s Question:

Instead of a car, I’m planning to get a moped – it’s more convenient for weaving around traffic here in Chicago, IL. What kind of insurance can I get for that and how much would a car insurance cost?

Hi Ericka! Personally, I’m terrified of motorcycles – but that’s because I can’t even balance on a bicycle. I agree, though, mopeds and motorcycles give you much more mobility than a car in crowded streets. That is, if you know how to use it safely.

Now, since a moped is to be used as a vehicle, most insurers would offer something similar to auto insurance coverage. Basic coverage would include auto liability coverage for damage caused to your vehicle or other properties and bodily injury you experience yourself or cause to happen to others while using your vehicle. Insurers in Chicago, IL also usually offer additional insurance coverage, if requested.

While cost varies depending on the coverage required as well as on the insurer, there are ways to lower your premiums. You can begin by choosing a less flashy and more reliable moped – the make and model of the vehicle are a big consideration especially for first time users. Usually, if you’ve been insured for about 3 years already and consistently drive safely, never making a claim, your premiums are likely to decrease dramatically.

To find out how much auto insurance coverage for your moped in Chicago, IL will cost you now, why don’t you sign in your zip code on the forms on this page so you can access free online quotes. This is a convenient, efficient way to determine whether there is sufficient affordable auto insurance coverage for mopeds in the area before you decide to get a moped instead of a car.

I assume that youre a new driver. Lets say my assumption is correct then Ill only give you two things about auto insurance in Chicago which I believed to be important for a new driver like you – the state required auto insurance coverage and how to shop wisely for auto insurance rates.

First, the state of Illinois requires all owners of motor vehicles to purchase auto insurance with the minimum amount of liability insurance as follows:

  • Bodily Injury: $20,000 for every person for every accident;
  • Bodily Injury: $40,000 total for every accident and;
  • Property Damage: $15,000 for every accident

For shopping tips, here are just some that you may want to consider to make sure you are doing the right thing when buying auto insurance

  • Find a reliable auto insurance company. You need to make sure that you are buying auto insurance in Chicago from auto insurance provider that is licensed by the state of Illinois.
  • Shop very carefully. Auto insurance is expensive. Its even more expensive if you dont have an idea on how to get a good auto insurance deal. So you should start getting several auto insurance quotes then choose the best that you can find.
  • Make sure that you fully understand the auto insurance coverage that you are buying. If theres something that you do not understand – ask.
  • When getting auto insurance quotes, make sure to completely fill out the application form. Also, you must give honest information only or else auto insurance providers may void your contract if they found out you were inventing some stories to get great auto insurance deal.
