Why are my house insurance estimates so high? We're buying our first house & our mortgage guy estimated our costs for house insurance should be $400-500. We've gotten two estimates & they were $730 & $775. What could be driving up the costs that none of us expected? The home was built in 1920, has wood siding, & is in city limits (near hydrants). The only other factors I can think that may raise the price are the fact that the fire station is on the other side of the rail road tracks, the fact the home is situated on a State Route/high traffic road, & close to a bar... Or is there somthing more?

insurance and collision repair estimates? I recently got into a bumper to bumper car accident in CA, where I think it was a 50/50 responsibility of me and her. The dent on both of our cars is evident, but not all that bad. I was called by the driver's insurance company to get an estimate of the cost of repairs to fix my bumper and then to send it to her. My question is should I look for places that charge the most amount of money? This is assuming that the driver will pay for damages to my car and I'll pay for damages to her car. I really have no idea what I'm supposed to do as I know some places can quote you cheap while others quote you an arm and a leg for the same job. Thanks in advance.
Body shop is 1 1/2 month late on insurance estimates. Manager (Ins paid) refuses to provide date. My Options? I got in a car wreck in Oct 25. Insurance final estimates provided to body shop in early November. Estimates indicate 24 days needed for repair. Insurance company paid Body shop. We are sitting here in Jan 20th (more than two months after supplemental estimates are issues) and the car is not ready. Let alone, the manager of the body shop refuses to provide with a written status and estimates for delivery of the car. He also never returns my calls. What kind of recourse do you I have? He is rude and improfessional (when I go to the shop they make me wait and then tell me he is busy). Insurance refuses to intervene (citing the fact that I chose him). To whom should I complain? I see my car and I see that repairs are being made but I need a final date. I have been renting cars out of pocket since insurance covers only first 30 days. Any advice is greatly appreciated...
Insurance estimates on these four cars? which do you guys think would be cheapest and most expensive on insurance out of these four cars: 03-05 Acura RSX type S (v4 manual) 01-03 Lexus IS300 (v6 auto) 99 Lexus SC300 (v6 auto) 97 Lexus SC400 (v8 auto) What do insurance companys look at, the year and price of the car (the moment you bought it)? If so, I would imagine the two bottom lexus's to be the cheapest, but Im not sure, since they have much bigger engines. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance.

How to estimate insurance for an extended period? I am doing a math project for school and I need to give an estimate of insurance for each year in a nine year period.

Should I get a repair estimate with insurance claim or without? I recently had my car appraised over the damage that was done to my car from a collision. The Ins. company will mail me a check for the total cost of the reapir submitted from their estimator. I haven't had any estimates done from any repair shops. Would the estimate go up or down depending on whether it was an insurance claim or not? Seems like the cost would go up if it was an Ins. claim.
insurance adjuster estimate MUCH less than actual estimates? My car got hit and lady who hit me told me to take it through her insurance. well, i got two estimates for them; one said $2050 and another $2250. I want to get a check for it and not get it fixed. I told the insurance company that and sent them the estimates. They sent an adjuster who said the estimate he got was only $900. No way is it that minimal of damage though. He said either I get it fixed at a body shop or they cut me a check for $900. Is this right? Shouldn't they write the check for an amount that will cover the damage? I don't know what to do
Is there any insurance loss estimating software homeowners can buy to calculate losses for claims? In order to negotiate with the insurance company, it would be useful to have a software package that would help itemize, price, calculate, and estimate, not only the value of contents but also the cost per square foot of restored construction, the labor cost of tearout of damaged property, debiris disposal costs, etc. Insurance companies have such software packages. It would be great if the insured could also use one.

Are there issues with a builder asked to estimate for an insurance claim handling the claim as well? I had a water leak in the kitchen which has destroyed teh kitchen floor. Multiple items need to be fixed - the floor , underfloor heating etc. I have phoned for estimates but most people who are prepared to do insurance work have their own loss adjusters and wish me to sign over claim handling to them. Are there issues with this? Would I be better just handing over to the insurance company to fix?

Low Repair Estimate How to Go After Insurance Company? I hit a car at its back and caused cracks on its rear bumper. It is my fault and my insurance company supposed to pay for the repair since I have liability insurance with them. But the estimate from my insurance company for the other car came out much lower than the estimates the other party got from other body shops. And now the other party comes after me and they said they gonna sue me. I would like to know how can I push my insurance company to come up more. Thanks!

Can insurance repair estimate be changed? I had some storm damage to the siding and I received an estimate to fix it. I turned in the estimate and received a check from the insurance company. The contractor came out to fix it. However, when he tried to buy siding to match what I have, it is no longer being sold in the color and size I have. So now instead of replacing rows of siding he will have to take down all the siding on that wall and put new up so that it lines up right. Will my insurance company accept an amended estimate?
My contractor's insurance is trying settle for ACV (depreciated) rather than RCV. Aren't I entitled to RCV? Bathroom work resulted in water damage to my hardwood flooring throughout condo due to leaking pipes. Contractor admits full responsibility and their insurance company estimates damage at $10,500 (RCV) but they want to settle for $8400 by including depreciation (ACV). Estimate received by flooring company to repair is $10,200. If I accept insurance company settlement I will have to pay the additional out of pocket. Since this was the contractor's fault and it goes through their insurance, shouldn't I be entitled to full replacement settlement rather than accepting the depreciated selttlement? Since I have no blame in the matter, I believe I should not have to pay anything out of my pocket. I need to know if I can legally tell the insurance company to settle for the RCV.
Is it required to present estimates before insurance company pays up? I had an accident last JUly and I received notification from Wawanesa that it was not my fault and the company will pay for my car repairs. I took a day off to obtain repair estimate from Wawanesa's preferred repair shop and it was approved. I presented the estimate to my regular repair shop which accommodates me on saturdays so I don't have to take a day off from work and it did the work for me. The shop asked for deposit and I paid in full to have the car retrieved after work since it will take a longer time to have the check cut by Wawanesa. My agent told me that I will be reimbursed so long as the shop sends them a receipt which the shop did. However, Wawanesa now says that it will pay up if the shop sends them the shop's estimate and after they have checked my car. Is this mandated by any insurance laws or is this the company's policy. Must I abide by this policy?

What is "Unrelated Prior Damage" on an Insurance Estimate for damage on my car? The tow truck that towed my car that had died, did not tie it down correctly so it rolled and hit the front of the flatbed truck and caused damage to the front of my car. They deducted this unrelated prior damage on the estimate. What does this mean? All the damage occured in the front and they are saying the unrelated prior damage is all the other dings on the rest of my car that was not involved with the towtruck.

Average utility and insurance cost Orland Park, IL? I'm planning on buying a townhouse in Orland Park, IL and was wondering what the average utility (water, electricity, heat, disposal) costs are? Anyone have any estimates on insurance? The association fees cover common insurance but don't think it covers anything within the four walls of the house. Know what insurance requirements the lender puts on mortgages? Trying to estimate how much home ownership really is.
How would Bush's proposal for tax deductible health insurance work? I understand that he would propose a $7500 tax break for singles, $15000 for family. What currently comes out of my paycheck for insurance would become taxable. So, am I to believe we will be getting (yet another) tax statement from our employer or insurance company (for individual plans) telling us the value of our health insurance? I estimate my insurance (and I arrived at this by checking what my COBRA payments would be should I leave the company) to be worth $14400, pretty close to the max allowed under Bush's proposal. I by no means think I have "cadillac" health insurance. My preventative care is already 100 % covered. I pay a $1000 deductible for every family member (max of $3000) even before my insurance kicks in. After that I pay 15% coinsurance until my max out of pocket is met $5,000. This is assuming I stick with in network providers. I pay $83.50 every two weeks in premiums. I would be for this plan if all the money taxed off the upper crust was put into a fund I have continuously read of instances where Bush attempts to change allocated funds to "block funds", (like the Head Start program), allowing the states to essentially spend these funds on anything other than what the funds were intended for. For a single person with no dependents makeing $14000 at a retail store, I fail to see how this would make insurance affordable to them. I personally think that the government should pay 100% if preventative care and also kick in money for a gym membership. Maybe mandate a high deductible insurance plan (also free) for major catastrophes. Anything supplemental coverage would be the resonsibility of the individual.
How can I find an estimate of commercial insurance for a business project? Just need a realistic quote of insurance for a corner shop about 30 square metres in a student area of sheffield without fishing through loads of websites! Anything will do - I just dont know wether it'd be around £50 a year or £5000! Thankyou! Just an estimate - its only for a uni project! Corner shop about 50 sqare metres selling basic convenience store goods. I just dont know how much insurance is for properties - is it closer to £50 or £5000?
Do I need to perform the repairs noted on my homeowners insurance claim? We recently had a major hail storm move through the area and my home was pretty well blasted. I have roof, window and siding damage for which the insurance company estimated repairs at $9,800. The windows and roof without a doubt need to be replaced. The siding on the otherhand could probably wait since it is entirely cosmetic. If I choose not to replace the siding is that acceptable? I am from Arkansas if it varies by state. I would just assume to leave the siding as is and replace it acouple of years down the road all together when it really needs the work done.
