• A less efficient way to get quotes online requires you to visit each company’s website to request a price quote.

• The least recommended method to comparison shop rate quotes is driving to different agent offices. The internet has reduced the need for local agents unless you require the trained advice that only a licensed agent can provide. If you prefer, some companies allow you to find lower rates online but buy the policy through an agent.

However you get your quotes, ensure you’re using the exact same quote data on every quote. If each company quotes mixed coverages it’s not possible to make a fair comparison for your BMW Z3. Slightly different insurance coverages could mean much higher rates. It’s important to know that comparing more rates from different companies helps increase your odds of locating a lower rate. Not every company does online rate quotes, so it’s recommended that you also compare prices from them, too.

Take advantage of every auto insurance discount

Car insurance is not cheap, but there could be available discounts that could help you make your next renewal payment. Certain discounts will be applied when you quote, but less common discounts must be specially asked for in order for you to get them.

• Good Grades Discount – Being a good student can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. You can use this discount normally up until you turn 25.
• Early Renewal Discounts – Some larger companies reward drivers for switching policies prior to the expiration date on your current policy. You may see this discount when you get auto insurance quotes online.
• Multiple Policy Discount – When you combine your auto and homeowners insurance with the same company you will save at least 10% off all policies.
• Government Employee Discount – Being employed by or retired from a federal job could provide a small rate reduction on Z3 insurance with select insurance companies.
• Pay Upfront and Save – If paying your policy premium upfront instead of making monthly payments you can avoid monthly service charges.
• Own a Home – Just owning your own home can help you save on auto insurance due to the fact that maintaining a home requires personal responsibility.

Insurance specifics

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are typical coverages found on most insurance policies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage 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 as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Liability coverage

Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for things such as legal defense fees, repair costs for stationary objects, medical expenses, structural damage and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses for nursing services, ambulance fees and EMT expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as damage from getting keyed, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, fire damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane and theft. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage covers damage to your Z3 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like hitting a mailbox, rolling your car and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
