Have you finally had enough of trying to scrape together enough money to keep your car insured? You are no different than most other drivers. There are many insurance companies to buy insurance from, and though it is a good thing to have a selection, it makes it harder to find the lowest rates.
Consumers need to get comparison quotes on a regular basis because insurance prices change frequently. If you had the lowest price for Previa coverage two years ago there may be better deals available now. Ignore everything you know about insurance because you’re about to find out the tricks you need to know to reduce your cost while improving coverage.
Buying car insurance is not that difficult. If you are paying for car insurance now, you should be able to reduce your rates substantially using these tips. Consumers just need to learn the best way to compare prices online.
Auto insurance companies do not advertise the complete list of policy discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we took the time to find both the well known and also the more inconspicuous discounts that you can inquire about if you buy insurance online.
A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. If you do the math and it seems like you can get free auto insurance, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business.

When choosing adequate coverage, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Every insured’s situation is different so your insurance needs to address that. Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining if your insurance needs may require specific advice.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier It is quick, free and can help protect your family.
Consumers can’t get away from ads that promise big savings for switching from companies such as Progressive, Geico, Allstate and State Farm. They all advertise claims about saving some big amount just by switching your coverage to them.
How is it possible that every company can charge you a lower premium? Just pay attention to how they say it.
Companies have specific guidelines for the type of customer they prefer to insure. For instance, a preferred risk could possibly be between 30 and 50, has few claims, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. Anybody that meets those criteria is entitled to the best price and as a result will probably save if they switch.
Drivers who do not meet those criteria will get higher rates which translates to the prospect going elsewhere. The wording the ads use say “customers that switch” but not “everyone who gets a quote” save money. This is how companies can truthfully state the savings. Different companies use different criteria so drivers must get as many free insurance quotes as possible. It’s just too difficult to predict which insurance companies will fit your personal profile best.
Understanding the coverages of your car insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from car insurance companies.
Collision protection
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Previa resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, rolling your car and hitting a mailbox. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Comprehensive insurance
This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as a broken windshield, fire damage and damage from flooding. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses like nursing services, EMT expenses, hospital visits, funeral costs and dental work. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Toyota Previa.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Liability auto insurance
Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. It protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability can pay for claims such as structural damage, medical services and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
As you quote insurance, don’t be tempted to reduce coverage to reduce premium. In many cases, an accident victim reduced uninsured motorist or liability limits and found out when filing a claim that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your focus should be to buy the best coverage you can find at an affordable rate, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.

I live on the east side of Davenport, Iowa. Quoted quotes from AAA, Farmers, and Safeco for my 1991 Toyota Previa and I think I saved around $20 each month. I’m a pretty good driver though. Get lots of quotes to find the best rate. Just liability coverage since it’s getting old.
Refugia Sanchez
Cheap is relative. I’m just north of Greensboro, North Carolina. Don’t remember every company but I ended up saving about $20 each month. I used their online quote form to compare rates. Anyone else drop full coverage?

I got decent rates for a 1991 Toyota Previa in Dover, DE. Ended up at about $90 every six months with AAA. I get a discount for insuring multiple vehicles. Not sure if rates are cheaper online or not.

Cheap is not always the best policy. Checking in from Charlotte, NC. I quoted with Amica, Safeco, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my Previa and I’m now saving $23 a month. Was with Mercury. Might find lower rates online. Liability only on my Toyota.
