Insurance can be traced back to its earliest form during 1400BC. Over the years, the tradition grew from loans given to merchants whom when their ships capsized could use the money to get new goods. In the current world, insurance is applied for entirely everything. The common forms of insurance are; Auto insurance, Health Insurance, and Property insurance. Ever since the pandemic came in last year, there has been a steady increase in insurance rates. The pandemic ravaged every sector in the world leaving behind a huge blow to the global economy. 2021 is here with us and the pandemic is still in place though its impacts have been under control due to the mass worldwide vaccination.
Auto insurance.
Auto insurance is one of the common forms of insurance which is taken to cover any auto-machine against disasters such as fires and accidents. 2021 being a pre-pandemic season, auto insurance prices are likely to go up. According to the latest findings done by CPI, April, and June, the auto insurance prices had gone up by 6.4% and 16.4%. Now that the economy is reopening, there are tons of activities going on to make sure it is fully revived. Below are some of the causes for increased auto insurance prices;
Return of driving.
Due to the low number of cases being reported and the introduction of vaccines, cars are now back on the roads. During last year, cars were not on the roads at all. This was due to the strict preventive measure put in place. Frequent lockdowns and curfew restricted people at home thus reducing the rate at which cars were used. Let’s not forget that our governments argued people to work from home. However, things are now getting back to normal in 2021. Cars are now on roads fully to places that are fully vaccinated. The return of driving means that there will be accidents and many more disasters. A cause for these accidents could be as a result of the drivers running out of practice, drunk driving, and speeding. Insurers are currently under pressure due to the return of cars hence increasing the prices.
High repair costs.
This is another reason why insurance prices will continue to rise in 2021. High repair cost in this pre-pandemic time is because of the disrupted manufacturing sector. Most manufacturing companies ran short of capital and cut off some of their labourers. Thus a reduction in the rate of spare part production. Service centres have shot up the prices of spare parts due to scarcity. Insurers have no option but to increase the rates. This is because when a claim is made, the insurers spend a lot of money repairing damaged parts and getting new spares. On top of that, the supply chain was also disrupted by the pandemic. High repair costs have made the insurers increase premium rates.
How to get better auto insurance deals.
There have to be factors that trigger an increase in the prices of the premium rates. However, there are ways which you use to find better deals that are friendly and manageable. They include;
1.Shop around for the best deals
If you are having trouble managing to pay up the premiums or they have just skyrocketed the prices, then shopping around for a new one is the remedy. You can do that by obtaining quotes from competing companies and pick out what is manageable. Don’t forget that cheap is always expensive, it is wise to do comprehensive research on the company you’ve selected and make sure you made the right decision. Make it a routine to go through other company’s quote every two years to find out if there are any low rates in the market.

- Get rid of coverage which is not necessary.
There is some coverage included in the insurance package which the chance of using them is very low. You may never use them at all. It is wise to do away with such coverage. A good example is car rental coverage. Inquire with your insurer and seek to remove any coverage that you find unnecessary. This will be one way of cutting costs.
Conclusion.
We need to brace up for more increases in the rate of premiums. Research done in 2018 concluded that the average amount one can spend on auto insurance is $1,190. In 2021 the price has increased now to over $1,800. This means that insurance prices especially auto insurance will continue to increase in the coming times.
