Cheaper 1990 Honda Accord Car Insurance Quotes

Are you regretting buying an underperforming, overpriced auto insurance policy? It’s a common feeling and there are lots of people in the same boat.

Many insurers vie for your hard-earned dollar, and it can be difficult to compare rates to get the best price available.

The quickest way to get policy rate comparisons is to know the fact most of the larger companies will pay a fee to give free rates quotes. All you need to do is give them rating details like if it has an alarm system, if the vehicle is leased, if you’re married, and your credit rating estimate. Your details is submitted instantly to insurance companies and they provide comparison quotes very quickly.

Discount insurance rates

Companies offering auto insurance don’t always advertise every available discount very clearly, so here is a list both well-publicized as well as the least known credits available to bring down your rates.

  • Own a Home – Being a homeowner can earn you a little savings because maintaining a house means you have a higher level of financial diligence.
  • Telematics Discount – Drivers who agree to allow companies to study where and when they drive through the use of a telematics system such as Allstate’s Drivewise and State Farm’s In-Drive system might get better premium rates if they are good drivers.
  • Anti-lock Brakes – Cars and trucks with ABS braking systems or traction control are much safer to drive and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Pay Now and Pay Less – By paying your entire bill at once instead of making monthly payments you can avoid the installment charge.
  • Claim Free – Drivers who don’t have accidents pay less in comparison to frequent claim filers.
  • Paperless Signup – Certain insurance companies provide a small discount just for signing your application online.

As a sidenote, most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. A few only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So even though it sounds like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you aren’t that lucky.

A few of the larger companies and some of the premium reductions they offer can be read below.

  • Geico offers discounts for five-year accident-free, driver training, federal employee, anti-lock brakes, defensive driver, daytime running lights, and seat belt use.
  • Travelers offers discounts including driver training, home ownership, multi-car, hybrid/electric vehicle, student away at school, and IntelliDrive.
  • Farm Bureau offers premium reductions for safe driver, good student, 55 and retired, renewal discount, and multi-vehicle.
  • Liberty Mutual policyholders can earn discounts including new vehicle discount, new graduate, multi-policy, good student, safety features, teen driver discount, and multi-car.
  • American Family may include discounts for air bags, good student, mySafetyValet, multi-vehicle, defensive driver, early bird, and accident-free.
  • Progressive includes discounts for homeowner, online quote discount, online signing, multi-policy, good student, multi-vehicle, and continuous coverage.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When buying the best insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Every insured’s situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. These are some specific questions might point out if you might need professional guidance.

  • What if I don’t agree with a claim settlement offer?
  • How high should deductibles be on a 1990 Honda Accord?
  • Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 1990 Honda Accord is totaled?
  • Is rental equipment covered for theft or damage?
  • What is covered by UM/UIM coverage?
  • Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?
  • Am I covered by my spouse’s policy after a separation?
  • Do I need motorclub coverage?

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Save money with these tips

Part of the insurance buying process is learning some of the elements that are used to determine your policy premiums. If you have a feel for what controls the rates you pay, this allows you to make good choices that may result in cheaper rates.

  • Premiums and your address – Choosing to live in less populated areas is a good thing when insuring your vehicles. Less people means a lower chance of having an accident as well as less vandalism and auto theft. Drivers in populated areas tend to have more auto accidents and much longer commute distances. Spending more time driving can result in more accidents.
  • Don’t get traffic citations – Whether or not you get tickets has a huge affect on how much you pay. Even a single citation can bump up the cost by as much as thirty percent. Drivers who don’t get tickets pay less for auto insurance than their less careful counterparts. Drivers who have flagrant violations like DUI or willful reckless driving may be required to submit a SR-22 or proof of financial responsibility to the state department of motor vehicles in order to continue driving.
  • Insurance policy lapses increase rates – Going without insurance can be a fast way to increase your insurance rates. Not only will you pay higher rates, failure to provide proof of insurance could earn you a fine, jail time, or a revoked license.
  • Comp and collision deductibles are a factor – The deductibles you choose tell how much you are required to spend out-of-pocket before a claim is paid by your company. Physical damage coverage, otherwise known as comp (or other than collision) and collision, protects your car from damage. A few examples of covered claims would be a windshield broken by a bird, damage caused by hail, and having a roll-over accident. The more of the claim the insured is willing to pay, the lower your rates will be on Accord insurance.

Car insurance coverage information

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Honda Accord.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Most of the time these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hail damage, theft, fire damage and damage from flooding. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses for hospital visits, nursing services, rehabilitation expenses and doctor visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Liability

Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for things such as bail bonds, pain and suffering, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Accord from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like scraping a guard rail, backing into a parked car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Quote more, save more

We covered a lot of information how to lower your 1990 Honda Accord insurance rates. It’s most important to understand that the more price quotes you have, the higher the chance of saving money. You may even discover the best price on car insurance is with a lesser-known regional company. Smaller companies can often insure niche markets at a lower cost than the large multi-state companies such as State Farm and Allstate.

Cheap 1990 Honda Accord insurance can be found online and also from your neighborhood agents, so you should compare both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance companies do not offer rates over the internet and usually these smaller providers sell through independent insurance agencies.

When getting insurance quotes online, you should never reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are many occasions where someone sacrificed liability coverage limits only to discover later that they should have had better coverage. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible at the best possible price, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.
