The Truth About Billing Fees
You may not realize that your monthly insurance payment includes billing fees.The average billing fee for a direct bill policy will vary from $5-$10 per month. While some companies charge less, some charge as much as $18 per month. In California insurance companies are required to send clients several notices in addition to their monthly bills and insurance information. With so much paperwork being mailed and processed, it is understandable for insurance companies to charge the client a fee for this service. These extra fees and paperwork are avoidable. An easy way for you to save money on your policy each month is to elect for the insurance company to automatically draft the installments from your checking account. Almost every insurance company offers a reduced billing fee for electronic funds transfer. Most California car insurance companies will send you a schedule of installments that will outline all of the installments that will be drafted from your account for your policy period. If there are any changes in the amount that will be taken from your account the insurance company will notify you in writing prior to any payments that differ from the original amount.
