“Then I would expect those things to be covered as the payments are adjusted. You need to understand, the big claims/liability and the overall majority of claims are due to collisions on the highways. Probably 95 percent of your payment/coverage is for on the road liability/damage/injury. Not vandalism or wind while your car is parked on your property.”

I am intimately familiar with loss types as a percentage of overall losses. I was in collision repair management and vehicle insurance claims management over multiple states for 40+ years. If you want your collision and liability premiums to be based on miles driven, there are companies that structure their fees on that basis, but be prepared to pay considerably more when your driving returns to normal (assuming your mileage is “normal”). Your current carrier probably offers lower premiums if your annual average mileage is below a certain figure (for example, 7500 miles), but they’re not going to adjust your premiums because of a short-term decrease.

Ya know the insurance carriers are some of the biggest con jobs ever devised. Most people drive all their lives and don't have so much as a fender bender. Yet they pay tens of thousands of dollars over the years, never to see it again. The big flush. Like me, I've never filed a claim and I've handed over wheel-barrels full of cash to these bloated companies.

They build these glass tower hi-rises for their corporate headquarters and they're secure them like fortresses. Funny, they must understand how many people they've pissed off, denied claims and robbed. Why do you think most people literally need a lawyer, or should have one, just to understand their contracts? From my perspective, it's obscene.

It's why insurance carries like Progressive, I believe, did commercials depicting them handing out packages or presents to clients as if they're actually getting something in return, even though most will never file a claim and will only pay. Great psychology.

And I believe this is the same carrier who openly promotes homosexuals in their commercials. Nice huh?
