To get started, all you need to do is provide the companies a bit of rating information like if a SR-22 is needed, daily mileage, how you use your vehicles, and which vehicles you own. Your details is instantly provided to many of the top insurers and they return cost estimate with very little delay.

Companies offering auto insurance don’t list all available discounts in an easy-to-find place, so we took the time to find both the well known and also the lesser-known discounts that may be available. If you do not double check each discount you deserve, you are just wasting money.
As a disclaimer on discounts, some credits don’t apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears it’s possible to get free car insurance, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business. Any amount of discount should definitely cut your premiums.
A list of companies and a selection of discounts are included below.
Before you buy a policy, ask each company which credits you are entitled to. Some of the discounts discussed earlier may not apply to policyholders in your state. To choose providers that offer some of these discounts, click here to view.
When choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no one size fits all plan. Every situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions might help in determining whether or not you would benefit from professional advice.
If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form or click here for a list of insurance coverage companies in your area.
Knowing the specifics of a auto insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on most auto insurance policies.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like dental work, X-ray expenses and nursing services. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like vandalism, damage from flooding, falling objects, damage from getting keyed and a broken windshield. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
This provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Mazda Navajo.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a building, rolling your car, sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
This can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers things like medical expenses, bail bonds, loss of income and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Here’s what I found out. Lifelong resident of Phoenix, AZ. Got prices from USAA, AAA, The General, and Nationwide for my Mazda and I’m now saving $11 a month. Insured with Progressive before. I get a discount for insuring multiple vehicles. Not sure if rates are cheaper online or through an agent. I only have liability coverage on it.

What exactly does liability cover?
Kassie Garrison
Enjoyed the article. From west side of Tucson, Arizona. Got car insurance prices from Allstate, American Family, Erie, and GMAC for my Navajo and I’m now saving $22 a month. My new agent seems to be really good. It’s too old for full coverage.

If you have a clean record and live near Grand Rapids, MI, check out Progressive. You might get cheaper rates. I got a quote from their website.

Here’s my info. I live in a small town just outside of San Jose, CA. Can’t remember who all I quoted but I ended up saving about $30 each month. I only have liability coverage on it.

Nice post. From northwest of Portland, OR. Received prices from AAA, Safeco, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my 1991 Mazda Navajo and I’m now saving $22 a month. Left Sentry to switch. Book value doesn’t justify full coverage anymore.
Gregoria Olsen
I got a good deal I think. Found cheapest coverage with Mercury for my Mazda and cut my rates about $90 a year. I think I’ll get rid of full coverage next time.
Danyel Vargas
Thought I’d throw in my experience. I live just to the north of Grand Rapids, MI. Quoted quotes from Allstate, Farmers, and Hartford for my Mazda and saved $103 a year. Thankfully I have a good driving record. Full coverage costs too much.
Myra Evans
I think I’m paying too much. From a town just southwest of Jacksonville, FL. Don’t remember every company but I ended up saving about $20 each month. Was with GEICO. I have a teen driver too. I got prices on the web.
