QBE Auto Insurance FAQ

What types of car insurance coverage options does QBE Auto Insurance offer?

Although we often talk about car insurance in the singular, it really includes several types of coverage options. QBE Auto Insurance offers the following types of car insurance coverage options:

  • Bodily Injury Coverage: This insurance pays for your legal defense and for the costs associated with injuries to other people involved in an accident. 
  • Property Damage Coverage: Usually, this insurance will look after the property damage you cause to another vehicle or property when at fault in an accident.
  • Uninsured Motorist Coverage: The uninsured motorist rider covers the damages caused by a negligent driver who doesn't have an insurance policy.
  • Underinsured Motorist Coverage: This covers the damages caused by a driver who is at-fault but whose liability limits don't cover all the property damages and medical expenses of the accident.
  • Collision Coverage: Collision coverage is an optional policy that pays for the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle after an accident. If you have an auto lease, the lender may require you buy collision insurance.
  •  Comprehensive Coverage:If your vehicle is damaged in an event other than a collision, comprehensive coverage will pay for the cost of the repair. Covered events include storms, floods, fire, vandalism, and theft.
  • Medical Payments Coverage: Medical payments insurance covers for the medical costs caused by an accident regardless of who is at fault. Most insurance policies will also cover funeral expenses.
  • Personal Injury Protection: Personal injury protection, also known as PIP, typically covers medical expenses, loss of essential services, funeral services, and loss of income. It is similar to medical payments coverage, or MedPay for short. The difference is that MedPay will only cover for reasonable medical expenses.

QBE Auto Insurance customers can also add the following riders or endorsements to their insurance policies:

  • Modified Vehicle Insurance: This coverage, also known as customized parts and equipment coverage, can help repair or replace alterations and upgrades you make to your vehicle. Notice that most car insurance policies will only cover original equipment so you may want to consider this policy if you've invested a lot of money on aftermarket parts and upgrades.
  • Rental Car Coverage: Rental car coverage, also known as rental car reimbursement, pays for the cost of a car rental if you can't drive your vehicle because of a covered loss, such as a car accident, theft, or vandalism.
  • Emergency Roadside Service: Coverage varies by carrier but it typically includes jump starts for dead batteries, labor to change a flat tire, towing, and lockout services.

How does QBE North America calculate insurance rates?

Car insurance companies guard their risk-assessment algorithms as a trade secret, and QBE North America is no exception. However, you can be confident that QBE Auto Insurance will take into consideration your driving record, age, gender, marital status, and address.

Other factors it will take into consideration are your vehicle (make and model), insurance history, and how you use your car.

Does QBE Auto Insurance use your credit score?

It is safe to assume that, when legal, a car insurance company will use your credit score as a rating factor. There are two exceptions.

  1. If you live in California, Hawaii, or Massachusetts, a car insurance company is not allowed to use your credit report as a rating factor.
  2. There are also a handful of car insurance companies that base their insurance rates exclusively on telematic data. These companies collect information on your driving behavior and use it to determine the risk you pose as a driver.

Message From QBE Auto Insurance

Affordable auto insurance rates are based on each individual’s driving behavior. Our affordable auto insurance rates are based on each individual’s driving behavior – not everyone’s. We understand that records – both on and off the road – can improve over time. That’s why QBE reviews driving records and other characteristics every time policies are renewed, and we reward responsible drivers with our most competitive rates. If a policyholder or household member is involved in an accident, he/she can still receive good rates through our Accident Forgiveness program. We waive the customary premium surcharges for policyholders who’ve had at least four years of continuous coverage and been free of chargeable, at-fault accidents for at least three years.
