There are a number of reasons why auto insurance companies would not have your vehicle insured. Different companies use varying methods to determine your risk as a driver. What you should do is just continue shopping around. Although some companies would not be willing to insure you, I am sure that there are other auto insurance companies there that would not turn you down.
Also, you can try shopping with an independent auto insurance agent there in Corpus Christi, Texas. Since independent auto insurance agents represent a lot of different auto insurance companies, this will help you save a lot of time because you could get substantial information about several companies as compared to calling the company one by one.
If this still does not work for you, you can buy your auto insurance policy from the Texas Auto Insurance Plan Association (TAIPA), which is actually a special risk pool providing coverage for those drivers who could not find willing auto insurance companies in the standard market. They offer basic coverage that is required by the state’s law, personal injury coverage and uninsured motorist coverage. The only problem here is that their premiums are higher, to as much as double, than those in the standard market, and they do not offer the other types of coverages, such as comprehensive and collision coverage.
If you need more information on TAIPA, you can just contact them.
