How much does insurance coverage cost?

To get cheaper auto insurance quotes, there a variety of ways of comparing rate quotes from many insurance coverage companies in your state. By far the easiest way to compare rates consists of obtaining rate quotes online. It is quite easy and can be accomplished using a couple different methods.

1. One of the best ways to compare a lot of rates at once is an all-inclusive rate comparison click to view form in new window. This method saves time by eliminating repetitive form entry for every prospective company. One form gets coverage cost estimates from several companies. It’s definitely the quickest method.
2. Another way to find more affordable insurance requires a visit to each individual company website and go through the quote process again. For sake of this example, we’ll pretend you want to get rates from USAA, Progressive and Geico. You would need to visit each site to input your insurance information, and that explains why we recommend the first method. To view a list of companies in your area, click here.
3. The old school method to get price estimates is going to local insurance agencies. Doing it all online eliminates this option unless you require the professional guidance of a licensed agent. Some companies do allow you to find lower rates online but still have the advice of a local agent.

Whichever way you choose to compare rates, try to use nearly identical coverage information for every company. If your comparisons have different liability limits it’s not possible to determine which company has the best rates. Slightly different coverages can make a big difference in price. And when price shopping your coverage, having more price comparisons helps improve the odds of finding more affordable rates. Not every company allows you to get online rate quotes, so you should also compare price estimates on coverage from those companies, too.

There’s no such thing as the perfect car insurance policy

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Each situation is unique.

For example, these questions can aid in determining if you would benefit from professional advice.

• Can I afford to pay high deductible claims out of pocket?
• Do I pay less for low miles?
• What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
• What is no-fault insurance?
• Can I afford low physical damage deductibles?
• Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
• When would I need additional glass coverage?
• What is covered by UM/UIM coverage?
• Should I sign the liability waiver when renting a car?
• Should I bundle my homeowners policy with my auto?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to an agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

Auto insurance coverages

Understanding the coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Liability coverage

Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, funeral expenses, emergency aid, medical services and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like theft, hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and vandalism. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills like hospital visits, nursing services, funeral costs, pain medications and prosthetic devices. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
