MONTANA

Dear Fellow Montanan: I am pleased to provide you with the Montana 2015 Automobile Insurance Rate Comparison Guide. One of my goals as Commissioner of Securities & Insurance is to help you be an informed buyer. I believe in order to maintain a healthy, competitive marketplace, it is critically important to provide consumers with the resources they need to compare insurance rates. Monica J. Lindeen This guide gives you a general idea of the premium rates charged in Montana. For more specific information, you must contact the individual insurance companies. Comparison shopping takes time, but can save you money. Use this guide to narrow the choice of insurers or agents you may want to contact. Shop carefully and contact the CSI if you have any questions or need additional assistance. Our knowledgeable staff is available to help you with a wide range of insurance issues. Please call the consumer hotline at 1-800-332-6148 or from Helena at 444-2040. You will also find more information on our web site at www.csi.mt.gov. Sincerely, Monica J. Lindeen Commissioner of Securities & Insurance Montana State Auditor

About this guide This guide compares how much a Montana driver might pay for auto liability insurance coverage in nine different geographic areas: Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, Missoula, Scobey and Thompson Falls. Fourteen of the auto liability insurance companies that write the most insurance in Montana chose to participate in our survey and their sample rates are featured on pages 7-13. For further information, please refer to the CSI publication Montana Consumer Guide to Auto Insurance at www.csi.mt.gov/consumers, located under the Consumer Publications link. (Or request a hard copy by calling 1-800-332-6148.) How to use this guide The premium quotes from the insurance companies listed in this guide are: Based on the amount you pay every six months. Based on three years of driving experience. Based on rates in effect as of January 1, 2015. If a company s rates have changed since then, these quotes may no longer be accurate. (Please keep in mind the premiums quoted are only examples. Your individual situation may include other factors that will be reflected in the premiums quoted to you.) Based on the assumption that you are new to the company and not renewing an existing policy. Based on a standard performance vehicle. Based on the minimum required liability limits set by Montana law. ($25,000 bodily injury coverage for one person, $50,000 bodily injury coverage for two or more people and $10,000 property damage coverage; $25,000 bodily injury coverage for one uninsured motorist person and $50,000 bodily injury coverage for two or more uninsured motorists is included.) Based on the area for which they are written.

Coverage State law sets minimum liability requirements for auto insurance. As previously noted, these limits are $25,000 bodily injury coverage for one person, $50,000 for coverage of bodily injury for 2 or more people, and $10,000 property damage coverage. Liability insurance covers you against damages you cause to others if you are at fault in an accident. It does NOT protect you against your own losses. Also, it is mandatory for the companies to offer uninsured motorist coverage, but you, the consumer, may reject this coverage. Consumers may want to consider higher liability limits than the state minimum, because the minimums may not cover your exposure to lawsuits. If you own a newer car, your bank will probably require you to buy Comprehensive and Collision coverage. However, the state s minimum requirements do NOT include such coverage. There may also be other coverage you wish to consider that is not mandatory. Insurers Not every insurer will offer you coverage because different insurers have different requirements that must be met in order to become insured. Insurers set target markets that help them select the types of drivers they want to insure. There are three basic markets: non-standard, standard, and preferred. 1. Non-standard markets (highest premiums) include drivers with less experience and numerous tickets or accidents. 2. The standard market is for the average driver. 3. The preferred market (lowest premiums) is available to low-risk drivers. Need More Help? Professional consumer advocates are available to assist you on a wide-range of insurance issues. Call the CSI Insurance Hotline 1-800-332-6148

How to Shop for Auto Insurance Before buying insurance, consider contacting several insurance agents or companies to find the best combination of quality and price. Know what you want before you shop; you ll be less likely to buy something you don t need. And finally, ask several agents or companies for an annual premium quote for your auto. Shopping Tips Be sure to tell your company or agent if the following information applies to you. You may be entitled to a lower premium. Your auto has an anti-theft device, automatic seatbelts, and/or airbags. Your auto is used for pleasure driving only and you do not drive it to work. You are in a car pool and drive to work an average of no more than two days per week. You are a full-time student and your grade point average is 3.0 or above. You drive a short distance to work. You drive fewer than 7,500 miles per year. You have had no accidents or violations. You have successfully completed a driver education course. Many mutual companies pay dividends to their policyholders at the end of the year. However, dividend amounts are not guaranteed. Do your shopping as far in advance as possible. This gives you time to consider more companies and prevents a hasty decision. Remember, if you change companies at a time other than the policy renewal date, you will be charged for the administrative costs of canceling the policy. If you have been denied coverage by an insurance company due to an auto accident or traffic violation, try another company. Do not assume that you will be turned down by all companies. Different companies use different underwriting standards. If several companies turn you down, try some companies that have higher premiums. What to do if you are unable to obtain auto insurance A licensed agent can help you get insurance through the Montana Automobile Insurance Plan administered by the Western Association of Automobile Insurance Plans. However, this Plan should be a last resort because the premiums are generally higher than those sold by private companies.
