Shoppers have a choice when shopping for affordable Cadillac Catera insurance. They can either waste time contacting agents to get rate comparisons or use the internet to get rate quotes.
There is a better way to compare car insurance rates and we’ll show you the quickest way to compare rates for a Cadillac and find the best price possible from local insurance agents and online providers.
Finding cheap 1999 Cadillac Catera insurance rates isn’t really that difficult. You just have to invest a little time comparing rate quotes from different insurance companies. Price comparisons can be done using a couple different methods.
It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just make darn sure you compare the exact same coverages for every quote you compare. If your comparisons have different coverage information it will be very difficult to make a fair rate comparison.
Companies offering auto insurance do not list their entire list of discounts very well, so the following is a list of both the well known as well as some of the hidden credits available to lower your premiums when you buy insurance online.
Just know that many deductions do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. Just because you may think you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it just doesn’t work that way. Any amount of discount will reduce your premiums.
Companies and some of the discounts are included below.
Before you buy a policy, ask each company to apply every possible discount. Some discounts listed above might not apply in your state. To see a list of insurers who offer cheap insurance quotes, click this link.
An important part of buying insurance is that you know some of the elements that aid in calculating auto insurance rates. If you know what positively or negatively impacts your premiums, this helps enable you to make changes that will entitle you to better auto insurance rates. Many different elements are part of the calculation when quoting car insurance. Some factors are common sense like a motor vehicle report, but other criteria are more transparent like your vehicle usage and annual miles driven.
Shown below are some of the most common factors used by insurance companies to determine your rate level.
When choosing coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different.
These are some specific questions may help highlight if you may require specific advice.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form. It is quick, free and may give you better protection.
Having a good grasp of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. Auto insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like rock chips in glass, a broken windshield, vandalism and hitting a bird. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for things like hitting a mailbox, crashing into a ditch, colliding with another moving vehicle and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like ambulance fees, rehabilitation expenses and hospital visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Another option is a combined limit which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against claims like court costs, medical expenses, bail bonds and emergency aid. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 1999 Cadillac Catera.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Usually these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, never buy less coverage just to save a little money. In many instances, someone sacrificed collision coverage and learned later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your strategy should be to buy enough coverage at the best price, not the least amount of coverage.
Cheap 1999 Cadillac Catera insurance is definitely available both online and from local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies may not provide the ability to get quotes online and these smaller providers provide coverage only through independent agencies.
People switch companies for many reasons like delays in paying claims, policy cancellation, policy non-renewal and even unfair underwriting practices. Whatever your reason, finding the right car insurance provider is not as difficult as it may seem.

Nice info. Live in the southern part of Manchester, NH. Quoted with Amica, Safeco, and a few others for my Catera and saved around $60 a year. Insured with Eastwood before. Still almost need a second mortgage. When should I drop full coverage?
Sonya Ewing
Does Minnesota require a SR-22 after a DUI?
Mauricio Vance
Great site. I’m in the north part of Rochester, MN. I compared lots of rates. Saved right around $20 a month. Allstate was the cheapest for me. Even increased coverage a bit.
Theresa Mckinney
If you have a good history and live in the vicinity of Cedar Rapids, IA, check out GEICO. They seem to be cheaper. I even had a DUI years ago. Book value doesn’t justify full coverage anymore.
Lori Thomas
I found pretty cheap rate quotes for a 1999 Cadillac Catera in Colorado Springs, CO. Ended up at right around $110 every six months with American Family. Insured with Farmers before. A clean driving record helps. :P Liability only on my Catera.
Harriet Velez
Lots of good stuff here. I live east of Knoxville, TN. Quoted with Hartford, Amica, Mercury, and a couple others for my Cadillac and I think I am saving around $20 each month. Anyone else drop full coverage?
Tania Nixon
Liked the article. From Spokane, WA. Quoted with Allstate, Amica, Farmers, and Hanover for my Catera and I think I saved around $20 each month. Was with GEICO. Thankfully I’m not a high risk driver.
Patrick Olsen
Will Allstate do a SR22 in Davenport, Iowa?
Daysi Cunningham
I live in a small town just outside of Warwick, RI. Quoted with GEICO, Hanover, and Esurance for my 1999 Cadillac Catera and I think I saved around $30 each month. They have a lot of discounts available. Just liability coverage since it’s getting old.
Kristopher Beck
I switched to GEICO. Quoted good rates in Louisville, Kentucky. I have a teen driver too.
Lonnie Sykes
From a town just southwest of Jackson, MS. Got car insurance rates from GEICO, American Family, Encompass, and Hartford for my 1999 Cadillac Catera and saved just over $60 a year. Can still barely afford it.
Anibal Brooks
Found cheapest coverage with Progressive for my Cadillac and saved about $70 a year. It was easy to get rates.
Darline Watts
IT’S ALL TOO EXPENSIVE! From northwest of Tampa, Florida. Don’t remember every company but I ended up saving about $30 each month. It’s too old for full coverage.
