Ch-ch-ch-changes!

The minimum amount of liability for car insurance in Texas is changing – and that means your insurance policy might also change. But unless you pay attention to insurance laws – which most people don’t –you probably don’t know how it will affect you.

If you live in Texas and own a car, read on so you can see how this will affect you and your current insurance policy.

“Insurance and registration, please”

Minimum Liability Limits – The new limits are $30,000 for each person injured in an accident, $60,000 for everyone injured in an accident and $25,000 for property damage per accident. This is also known as 30/60/25 coverage.

Costs Are the Major Influencer – The reasoning behind the limits being raised are because the overall costs are going up. This includes costs associated with medical expenses as well as the amount that is charged when a vehicle undergoes repair after an accident. Insurance companies are then better able to serve customers with more resources when there is a claim.

Whoopsie!

Many People Have Minimum Liability – If you’re one of the people who only pays for the bare minimum in terms of liability insurance to save money, you may have to pay a little more. That’s because you’re one of the fifty percent that is already at the bare minimum, and the standards are being changed by law.

No Change Likely If You’re Already Over the Limit – About thirty percent of people in Texas are already paying over the liability limit standard, as it is. That means that they pay for liability limits over the current lowest amount of 30/60/25. So these folks should not be seeing any sort of price increase to their policy.

Your Costs Will Only Increase Slightly – Experts are estimating that the overall increase in costs will be only up to three percent on existing policies. Many may only see a one or two percent increase. So while you will be paying more, it will only be a small increase that will allow you to have higher limits of coverage in the long run.

The one and only.

Becoming the winning contestant of our “Do the Jingle” contest takes time, perseverance and creativity. But the rewards are great: $5000.00, and your own SafeAuto television ad! We’re running our contest again for 2011, allowing you to vote on who should get famous in this year’s prize for the best rendition of the SafeAuto jingle [click here to vote].

Recently we checked in with some of our winners from past years, to see how they are doing since winning our contest.

Lady Rerun

Rerun: still going strong.

In 2010, Lady Rerun won our contest with a spirited rendition of the SafeAuto jingle that took place in a call center. Rerun is the daughter of Fred “Rerun” Berry, who starred in such television sitcoms as “What’s Happening!!” and “What’s Happening Now!!”.

So what’s happening now? After her SafeAuto commercial hit television, Lady Rerun decided to take on bigger television projects. She is now working hard as a TV and radio personality. She even hosts her own online radio show at her website. You can check out the Lady Rerun Show every Monday and Tuesday nights from 11:30 PM to 1:30 AM EST.

The Potter’s House Choir

Potter’s House: keeping it musical after their spot on television.

The Potter’s House, a church located in Columbus, OH, had a choir that pulled off a big “Do the Jingle” win in 2009. Their version, a holiday-themed rendition of our famous song, struck a chord with voters. We were so impressed with their “Jingle Bells” inspired version that we just had to make a SafeAuto spot with them in it!

Today, the Potter’s House Choir is still going strong. They have their own page on MySpace and continue to minister to hundreds of churchgoers every Sunday. Led by their music minister Daryl Wicker, they continue to sing out their message to anyone who wants to listen!

Are You Ready?

So far we have had two talented winners for our contest. This begs the question: who’s got what it takes to “Do the Jingle” this year? Every vote counts, so please check out the finalists of our third annual contest! Hurry… time is running out!
