I can’t think of a single person who likes having to buy car insurance, especially when they could lower their rates if they shopped around. Big companies like Geico and Progressive continually bombard you with catchy ads and consumers find it hard to ignore the propoganda and do the work needed to find the best deal.
If you have a policy now or are looking for a new policy, you can use these techniques to find better prices while maintaining coverages. Finding affordable coverage is easy if you know what you’re doing. Vehicle owners just need to know the tricks to buy auto insurance on the web.
Buying car insurance is not cheap, but there are discounts available that could help you make your next renewal payment. Some trigger automatically when you complete an application, but some may not be applied and must be specially asked for before you will receive the discount.
It’s important to understand that most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. So even though it sounds like it’s possible to get free car insurance, nobody gets a free ride.

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are typical coverages found on the average insurance policy.
Collision protection
Collision insurance covers damage to your C/K 1500 Series from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for claims such as hitting a parking meter, rolling your car, damaging your car on a curb and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Coverage for medical expenses
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, dental work and hospital visits. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Auto liability insurance
This protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property. It protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage pays for claims like attorney fees, structural damage, loss of income and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like hitting a deer, falling objects and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Affordable car insurance is a myth. I’m in the suburbs of Aurora, Colorado. Got car insurance prices from Allstate, Hartford, and Erie for my C/K 1500 Series and saved just over $90 a year. Insured with American Family before. Not sure if rates are cheaper online or not. When should I drop full coverage?
Jenae Mcguire
I’m in Minneapolis, MN, and GEICO rates were affordable. I have several vehicles insured with them. It was easy to get rates.
