Weve covered the myriad of car insurance issues when you rent a car many times. One of the basic tenets of renting a car has always been that if you charge the rental to your credit card, its possible that you likely have sufficient insurance coverage between your normal auto policy and the coverage being offered by the card issuer. A new report by CreditCards.com indicates that it may be time to rethink that idea.

According to the report, car rental companies have begun adding extra fees ones theyve had on their rental agreements for years that they incur when a customer damages a rental car, such as fees for taking a rental car out of commission, which results in lost income for the rental agency.

It costs a lot more to drive a car today than it did just last year.  Not only is the cost of gas putting a huge dent in our pockets, but when you compare car insurance rates with last year some companies have increased their premiums.  According to the Standard-Examiner’s article “Gas prices, insurance increases to make driving more expensive this summer,” author Kristy Eppley Rupon says that the average driver is paying $825 more this year to drive.  The cost of purchasing your car has been increasing steadily as well, so drivers are being hit on all fronts.

Even though prices seem to be rising across the board, it still is not too expensive to drive compared to the alternatives.  You should definitely be evaluating your car and driving habits though to see what you can do to make the most of your money.  Many Americans are driving their cars longer instead of purchasing a new car when they thought they would.  Finding cheap car insurance is still possible, but you have to do your research and make adjustments like increasing your deductible.   There are even people moving so that their commute to work is shorter or joining carpools to save on gas and mileage.

While gas prices are seemingly out of control, they are not likely to go down below $3/gallon anytime soon based on the troubles in the Middle East, oil futures investing, and increased summer driving habits.  The article says that the best way for us to get gas prices down is to consume less oil from foreign countries both by driving less and investing in alternative fuels.  Insurers like Estrella Insurance are affected by high gas prices just like us and watch closely to see what changes can be made.  If people decide to drive less or cut down the number of cars in their family, it could increase insurance costs for everyone as companies lose members.  Regardless of why it costs more to drive now, everyone has to make personal changes and sacrifices to adjust to our new economic normal.
