Looking for lower auto insurance rates for your Isuzu Rodeo? Did you fall for a flashy sales pitch and buy high-priced auto insurance? Don’t sweat it because many consumers feel financially strained by their auto insurance policy.
Big-name insurance companies like Geico, Farmers Insurance and State Farm persitently shower you with catchy ads and consumers find it hard to ignore the flashy ads and find the best price available.

But drivers can benefit from knowing how big insurance companies price insurance differently and use this information to your advantage.
Not many people think insurance is cheap, but there may be some discounts that many consumers don’t even know exist. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time of quoting, but some must be requested specifically prior to receiving the credit.

So when it seems like you could get a free insurance policy, company stockholders wouldn’t be very happy.

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are typical coverages available from insurance companies.
Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like a broken windshield, fire damage and damage from flooding. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Isuzu Rodeo.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Collision coverage – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Rodeo caused by collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door, backing into a parked car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Medical payments coverage and PIP – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills for ambulance fees, chiropractic care and EMT expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Liability – This protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, medical services, bail bonds, legal defense fees and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Cheaper car insurance can be sourced online and from local agencies, so you need to shop insurance with both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance providers don’t offer the ability to get quotes online and usually these smaller companies sell through independent agencies.
