A car insurance quote happens to be a legal binding agreement which creates rights and obligation for both insurer and the insured. If one party fails to perform his part of the consent, without a legal excuse, he then can be said to breach the contract. The element of a valid car insurance quote will include the following four items namely offer and acceptance, consideration, capacity and legal purpose.

The proposal to make an exchange is called an offer while if the second person agrees to the exchange, this called acceptance. Consideration will conversely refer to the value exchanged between contracting parties and in most cases in money form. People who are incapacitated either because they have become insane or are minor (under the age of eighteen years) can not enter in a binding or a legal auto insurance contract. Similarly the supposed contract must have legal purpose or intention permitted by the law.

The basic parts of a car insurance quote contain many clauses and provisions some of which includes declaration or the schedules. These are statements that provide information about the insured and vehicle being insured. Such information is used for rating and eventual calculation of premium to be paid by insured. The declaration page contains some things like names of the insured, contacts, purpose of the policy, period of insurances, vehicle registration numbers, year of manufacture, carrying capacity, insured estimated value of the vehicle, annual premiums and size of deductibles.

Definitions are the next one, the insurers often provide description of some terms they consider vital or subject to misinterpretation. They may appear as a grocery found at the beginning of contract or elsewhere in contract body. Of the many definitions provided the most important one is definition of the insured and the insurer. In this policy 'you',' your' or 'policy owner' refers to name insured shown in the declaration while 'we', 'us' and 'our' shall refer to insurance company providing the cover. In most cases, these words will be written in bold terms and I should tell you that there are other important terms I have not mentioned.

The other one is insuring agreements which the specific language is creating the car insurance quote contract. It describes the promises of insurer to insured. It also describes the insurer's rights and duties. In insuring agreements the insurer states that it shall provide insurer cover described in the policy and the insured agrees to comply with conditions of policy. Motor insuring agreements are broken in to six parts; liability coverage, medical payments, uninsured motorists, uninsured motorists, damage to your auto, duties after accident/loss and general provisions.

Exclusions is the following part and refers to those items not covered in a given motor vehicle insurance cover. This term is interchangeably used with word exceptions. They serve the functions such as eliminating losses arising from catastrophic events, eliminating losses arising from moral(where the insured caused the losses deliberately) and morale(where the insured negligently watch as the loss happens yet they have capacity to mitigate it, but since they have own vested interest to collect the pay, they decide to do nothing) hazards. exclusions removes coverage not needed by the insurer, eliminate coverage where another policy is specifically to provide coverage, exclude non-insured parties from benefiting from the coverage and to control costs and keep premium affordable.
