Cheap 1994 Toyota Celica Insurance Quotes

Want cheaper car insurance rates for your Toyota Celica? There isn’t a single person who gets a kick out of paying for car insurance, particularly when the cost is way too high.

Due to the large number of companies to choose from, it is hard for the average consumer to pick the lowest price car insurance company.

Compare insurance rates

Most major insurance companies give price estimates direct online. Getting online quotes is fairly straightforward as you just type in your required coverages as requested by the quote form. Once entered, their system makes automated requests for your credit score and driving record and generates pricing information based on these factors. This makes it a lot easier to compare rates but the process of having to visit a lot of sites and fill out multiple forms is monotonous and tiresome. Unfortunately, it is important to compare as many rates as possible if you want to find the lowest possible prices on insurance.

Isn’t there an easier way to compare rates?

The smarter way to lower your insurance bill utilizes a single form that obtains quotes from more than one company. It saves time, eliminates repetitive work, and makes online shopping much more enjoyable and efficient. After sending the form, it gets priced and you are able to buy any or none of the quotes that you receive.

If a lower price is quoted, it’s easy to complete the application and buy the policy. This process takes 15 minutes at the most and you will know how your current rates stack up.

Get cheap insurance with discounts

Insurance can be pricey, but discounts can save money and there are some available to help offset the cost. Certain reductions will be credited at the time of purchase, but once in a while a discount must be specially asked for before they will apply.

• Passenger Safety Discount – Cars that have air bags could see savings of 25 to 30%.
• Senior Citizens – Mature drivers may qualify for a small discount on rates for Celica coverage.
• Savings for New Vehicles – Buying a new car instead of a used car is cheaper since new vehicles are generally safer.
• Lower Rates for Military – Being on active deployment in the military may qualify for rate reductions.
• Smart Student Discounts – A discount for being a good student may save you up to 25%. The discount lasts until age 25.
• Anti-lock Brake Discount – Cars equipped with ABS or steering control can avoid accidents and the ABS can save up to 10%.
• Life Insurance Discount – If the company offers life insurance, you could get a discount if you purchase life insurance from them.
• College Student – who attend college more than 100 miles from home and do not have a car can be insured at a reduced rate.
• Renewal Discounts – Some larger companies give discounts for switching companies before your current expiration date. This can save 10% or more.
• No Claims – Claim-free drivers have much lower rates in comparison with drivers who are more careless.

Don’t be surprised that most discounts do not apply to the entire cost. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it just doesn’t work that way.

Some of the larger companies that may have these discounts include:

• State Farm
• Esurance
• Progressive
• Liberty Mutual
• Auto-Owners Insurance
• GEICO

When quoting, ask all companies you are considering how many discounts you can get. Some discounts might not be offered on policies everywhere. To choose companies who offer free insurance quotes, click here.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When choosing adequate coverage, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Every insured’s situation is different and your policy should reflect that. For instance, these questions might help in determining if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.

• Do I need roadside assistance coverage?
• What if I total my 1994 Toyota Celica and owe more than it’s worth?
• Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
• Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
• Do I need medical payments coverage since I have good health insurance?
• Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

How to lower your insurance premiums

Many things are taken into consideration when quoting car insurance. Some of the criteria are obvious like your driving record, but others are more obscure such as your marital status or your vehicle rating.

The following are some of the items utilized by car insurance companies to help set premiums.

• Women tend to cost less – Over the last 50 years, statistics have shown women are more cautious behind the wheel. That doesn’t necessarily mean that females are better at driving than males. Males and females cause accidents in similar numbers, but the male of the species tend to have more serious accidents. Not only are claims higher, but men receive more major tickets like DWI (DUI) or reckless driving.
• Tickets drive up prices – How you drive has a huge affect on how much you pay. Attentive drivers tend to pay less for car insurance compared to drivers with tickets. Getting just one speeding ticket or other violation can bump up the cost twenty percent or more. Drivers who get dangerous violations like DUI or willful reckless driving might be required by their state to prove financial responsibility with their state in order to drive a vehicle legally.
• Cheaper premiums using alarm systems – Owning a car with an alarm system can save you some money. Systems that thwart theives like tamper alarm systems, vehicle immobilizer technology and General Motors OnStar all help prevent car theft.
• Save money by having high credit – Credit rating is a big factor in determining premium rates. So if your credit is not that good, you could pay less to insure your 1994 Toyota Celica if you clean up your credit. Consumers who have high credit ratings tend to be more responsible than drivers with lower credit scores.
• Discounts for auto and home policies – Many insurers afford a discount for people that buy multiple policies in the form of a multi-policy discount. If you currently are using one company, you still need to check prices from other companies to help guarantee you have the best rates. You may still be able to find lower rates by buying from different companies
• Your stress level may be raising your prices – Occupational choices like doctors, architects and accountants have higher average rates because of job stress and long work hours. On the other hand, professions such as actors, engineers and retirees pay the least for Celica coverage.
• Liability safeguards assets – The liability section of your policy provides coverage if ever you are determined to be liable for damages from an accident. Your liability coverage provides you with a defense in court which can be incredibly expensive. It is affordable coverage compared to comp and collision, so buy as much as you can afford.

Insurance coverage myths debunked

Big name companies like GEICO, State Farm and Progressive regularly use ads on TV and radio. They all seem to make the same claim about savings just by moving your coverage. How does each company offer drivers better rates?

Insurance companies offer their best rates for the driver that will most likely be profitable. For example, a desirable insured might have to be between the ages of 30 and 45, has a low-risk occupation, and drives a vehicle with a low ISO rating. A customer that meets those criteria will get the preferred premium rates and will probably save money with a new company.

Insureds who fall outside the ideal profile may be required to pay a higher rate and ends up with the customer buying from a different company. The trick is to say “people that switch” not “all people who quote” save that much when switching. This is how insurance companies can confidently make claims that they all have the best premium rates.

This really emphasizes why drivers should do a rate comparison at every renewal. It is just not possible to predict which company will have the lowest car insurance rates for your situation.

Learn about insurance coverages for a 1994 Toyota Celica

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are typical coverages available from insurance companies.

Auto liability

This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things like attorney fees, structural damage, legal defense fees, medical expenses and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but buy higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your Celica resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims like hitting a parking meter, sideswiping another vehicle, driving through your garage door, crashing into a ditch and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like falling objects, theft, rock chips in glass, vandalism and hail damage. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Toyota Celica.

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 very important. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses like doctor visits, funeral costs and hospital visits. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

The best insurance company isn’t always the cheapest

More affordable insurance can be found online in addition to many insurance agents, so you need to quote auto insurance with both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some insurance companies may not offer online price quotes and most of the time these smaller providers work with independent agencies.

When getting auto insurance quotes online, do not skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There have been many cases where an insured cut physical damage coverage only to find out that it was a big error on their part. Your aim should be to find the BEST coverage at the best price, not the least amount of coverage.
