Compare quotes for auto insurance

Finding a lower price on 1993 Ford Five Hundred insurance can be surprisingly simple. You just have to take time comparing price quotes online with multiple companies. It’s really simple and can be done in a couple of different ways.

1. The most efficient method to find low rates is to use a rate comparison form click here to open form in new window. This method keeps you from doing repetitive form entry for each price estimate. Completing one form gets you price quotes from multiple companies.
2. A harder way to find lower rates is to manually visit each company’s website and fill out their own quote form. For sake of this example, we’ll pretend you are doing a rate comparison from Allstate, Esurance and Farmers. You would be required to spend time going to each site individually to input your insurance information, and that explains why we recommend the first method.

Slash your car insurance rates with discounts

Car insurance is expensive, but you might be missing out on some discounts that could drop your premiums quite a bit. Most are applied when you purchase, but once in a while a discount must be asked about before they will apply.

• College Student Discount – Older children living away from home attending college without a vehicle on campus may qualify for this discount.
• Driver Safety – Taking part in a course teaching defensive driver skills can save you 5% or more if your company offers it.
• Student Discounts – This discount can earn a discount of 20% or more. Many companies even apply the discount to college students up until you turn 25.
• Anti-lock Brakes – Vehicles that have steering control and anti-lock brakes prevent accidents and earn discounts up to 10%.
• Service Members Pay Less – Having a deployed family member could be rewarded with lower premium rates.
• Telematics Data Discounts – Drivers who elect to allow their company to look at vehicle usage through the use of a telematics system like In-Drive from State Farm and Progressive’s Snapshot might see lower rates as long as they are good drivers.
• Driver’s Ed – Have your child enroll and complete driver’s education if offered at their school.
• Discounts for Federal Employees – Active or retired federal employment can save as much as 8% on Five Hundred coverage with some car insurance companies.
• Claim-Free Discount – Claim-free drivers pay less in comparison with accident-prone drivers.
• Seat Belt Usage – Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to use a seat belt could save 15% off the PIP or medical payment premium.

Insurance coverages explained

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Collision protection

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Five Hundred resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things like rolling your car, scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Ford Five Hundred.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Auto liability

This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage pays for claims like court costs, loss of income and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from flooding, a broken windshield, hitting a deer, theft and falling objects. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive 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.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills such as ambulance fees, hospital visits, nursing services and pain medications. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
