A car insurance quote is 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 :
1. Offer and acceptance : The proposal to make an exchange is called an offer while if the second person agrees to the exchange, this called acceptance
2. Consideration : the value exchanged between contracting parties and in most cases in money form
3. Capacity : Ability of someone to enter in a binding or a legal auto insurance contract (must be sane and more than eighteen years)
4. Legal purpose : intention permitted by the law
The basic parts of an auto 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.

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. 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. 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.
