1998 Porsche Boxster Insurance Cost

Searching for lower insurance coverage rates for your Porsche Boxster? When looking for lower-cost insurance, are you intimidated by the wide range of insurance coverage choices? Consumers have so many options that it can be a difficult challenge to lower your prices.

It’s important to take a look at other company’s rates on a regular basis since insurance rates change quite often. Even if you think you had the lowest premium rates on Boxster insurance two years ago you may be paying too much now. Block out anything you think you know about insurance coverage because we’re going to demonstrate one of the easiest ways to find the best coverage while lowering your premiums.

Lower rates by qualifying for discounts

Auto insurance companies do not advertise every possible discount in an easy-to-find place, so the following is a list of both the well known and the harder-to-find credits that you can use to lower your rates. If they aren’t giving you every credit you qualify for, you’re paying more than you need to.

• No Accidents – Drivers who don’t have accidents can earn big discounts as compared to frequent claim filers.
• Pay Upfront and Save – By paying your entire bill at once rather than paying in monthly installments you can actually save on your bill.
• Homeowners Pay Less – Owning a house can get you a discount because maintaining a house is proof that your finances are in order.
• Active Service Discounts – Being deployed in the military could be rewarded with lower insurance rates.
• Safety Course Discount – Taking part in a course that instructs on driving safety could earn you a small percentage discount and also improve your driving technique.
• Policy Bundle Discount – When you have multiple policies and insure them with the same company you will save up to 20% off your total premium.

Consumers should know that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears it’s possible to get free car insurance, insurance companies aren’t that generous.

A list of insurance companies and a partial list of their discounts include:

• State Farm has savings for driver’s education, student away at school, anti-theft, Steer Clear safe driver discount, accident-free, and defensive driving training.
• Nationwide may have discounts that include good student, accident-free, easy pay, Farm Bureau membership, business or organization, and defensive driving.
• Geico discounts include seat belt use, emergency military deployment, defensive driver, multi-vehicle, multi-policy, and good student.
• AAA offers premium reductions for pay-in-full, good driver, multi-car, education and occupation, and good student.
• 21st Century may include discounts for anti-lock brakes, homeowners, driver training, theft prevention, and 55 and older.
• The Hartford has discounts for driver training, air bag, anti-theft, good student, defensive driver, bundle, and vehicle fuel type.

Before you buy a policy, ask each company which discounts you qualify for. Some discounts listed above might not apply in your area. To see a list of insurance companies who offer insurance discounts, click here to view.

Compare insurance coverage rates

When looking for the cheapest insurance coverage quotes, there are a couple ways of comparing price quotes from many different insurance companies. The simplest method to compare rates is to use the internet to compare rates. This can be accomplished in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

• The fastest way to get the best comparison quotes is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This form saves time by eliminating boring form submissions for each price estimate. Taking the time to complete one form will return price quotes from all major companies. Recommended for those who want to invest the least amount of time.
• A slightly less efficient method to find lower rates requires visiting the website for every company you want to comare and request a quote. For example, let’s assume you want rates from Progressive, Geico and Allstate. To get rate quotes you would need to spend time on each company’s site and repeatedly enter your information, which is why the first method is more popular.

• The hardest way to compare price quotes is making phone calls or going to and from local insurance agencies. Comparing online rate quotes has made agencies unnecessary unless you require the personal advice that only a licensed agent can provide. Some companies do allow you to price shop your coverage online and get advice from an agent in your area.

However you get your quotes, make sure you compare equivalent coverage data for each quote you get. If the quotes have different values for each quote it will be next to impossible to determine which rate is truly the best. Quoting even small variations in limits may result in large price differences. Just keep in mind that obtaining a wide range of quotes helps locate lower pricing.

Car insurance is unique, just like you

When it comes to buying adequate coverage, there really is no cookie cutter policy. Everyone’s needs are different.

Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether your personal situation might need an agent’s assistance.

• Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
• Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
• What exactly is covered by my policy?
• Am I covered when driving a rental car?
• Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
• What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
• Am I insured when driving a different vehicle?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form.

Auto insurance 101

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Boxster resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses for X-ray expenses, surgery, chiropractic care and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Porsche Boxster.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Liability car insurance

This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability can pay for things like loss of income, medical expenses, funeral expenses and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as theft, hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, falling objects and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Buy online or local, you save

We just presented a lot of techniques to shop for 1998 Porsche Boxster insurance online. The most important thing to understand is the more providers you compare, the higher the chance of saving money. Consumers could even find that the best price on insurance coverage is with a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising.

Cost effective 1998 Porsche Boxster insurance can be sourced from both online companies as well as from independent agents, so you should compare both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who may not provide online rate quotes and many times these smaller providers provide coverage only through independent agents.

When searching for inexpensive insurance coverage quotes, do not sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There are a lot of situations where an insured dropped full coverage only to regret at claim time that the savings was not a smart move. Your focus should be to buy enough coverage at the best cost but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
