Allstate auto insurance quotesOn MainStreet.com, Carl Winfield recently explained important facts about Allstate’s auto accident forgiveness program, which has been available since 2006 but is gaining attention now. It’s a tempting option to prevent increasing auto insurance costs, but it’s not for everyone. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers about their accident forgiveness policy.

Q: What exactly is auto accident forgiveness?

A: It’s a policy that will ensure that your auto insurance premiums do not rise after a car accident.

Q: How much does accident forgiveness normally cost on a policy?

A: There tends to be an additional fee added to accident forgiveness plans; an typical fee is about $43 added to the premium every six months. However, premiums can jump far higher with an accident; sometimes they may even double.

Q: Who is eligible for Allstate’s Your Choice policies with accident forgiveness?

A: 

 

  • Policyholders on the most inexpensive standard plan will have to maintain a clean driving record for five years before being eligible for accident forgiveness.
  • Mid-range plan customers can take advantage of accident forgiveness immediately.
  • Drivers with Allstate’s top-line, most expensive plan will also have access to accident forgiveness as soon as they buy the policy.
Q: What are the differences in accident forgiveness between the mid-range and top-line plans?
A: The top-line policy will forgive multiple accidents (within reason) without raising premiums, while the mid-range policy only forgives one accident. Under the latter, you’ll be subject to rate increases after future accidents.
