Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but there are discounts available that you may not know about. A few discounts will automatically apply at the time of quoting, but some must be manually applied before they will apply.
As a sidenote, many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. Just because you may think you could get a free auto insurance policy, companies don’t profit that way.
Large auto insurance companies and some of their more popular discounts are:
Before buying, ask every company which discounts you may be entitled to. Some credits might not be available to policyholders in your area.

Learning about specific coverages of your auto 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 ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Medical payments coverage and PIP – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills for things like hospital visits, dental work and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Collision coverages – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Express resulting from colliding 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 can pay for things such as driving through your garage door, crashing into a ditch and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 1997 Chevy Express.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Frequently these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Liability insurance – Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as structural damage, medical services, bail bonds and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.
Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like fire damage, rock chips in glass, falling objects, hitting a bird and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Affordable 1997 Chevy Express insurance can be found both online and also from your neighborhood agents, so you should compare both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance companies do not provide online price quotes and many times these regional insurance providers only sell through local independent agencies.
Consumers switch companies for a variety of reasons including denial of a claim, lack of trust in their agent, extreme rates for teen drivers and policy non-renewal. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch choosing a new insurance company is pretty simple and you could end up saving a buck or two.
We just presented many ideas to save on 1997 Chevy Express insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more times you quote, the higher the chance of saving money. Consumers could even find that the lowest premium rates come from some of the lesser-known companies.

In New Haven, Connecticut, Amica had the best rates for my 1997 Chevrolet Express. Was with Auto-Owners. Even increased my liability limits. Online quotes are the way to go. Anyone else drop full coverage?
Loralee Morrison
Live in the northern part of Mesa, AZ. Checked online prices for a 1997 Chevrolet Express. Ended up at about $80 savings annually. Went with Progressive. I get lower rates because of my clean driving record. Not sure about claim service. I’m thinking about dropping full coverage though.

It all costs too much. From northwest of Tacoma, WA. Got prices from State Farm, AAA, Erie, and The General for my Chevrolet and saved $82 a year. I have a couple other vehicles on the policy. I only have liability coverage on it.
