Performing a rate comparison can be exhausting if you aren’t aware of the most efficient way to do it. You could waste a few hours driving to insurance companies in your area, or you could use online quotes to accomplish the same thing much quicker.
Many companies participate in a marketplace that allows shoppers to enter their coverage request one time, and each company then gives them pricing. This prevents consumers from doing quotation requests for every insurance coverage company.

The only downside to pricing coverage this way is that consumers can’t choose the insurers you want pricing from. So if you want to choose specific insurance companies to compare prices, we put together a list of the cheapest insurance coverage companies in your area. Click here to view list.
You can use whichever method you prefer to find lower rates, just make darn sure you compare exactly the same coverage limits on every price quote you get. If you use mixed coverages then you won’t be able to make an equal comparison.
Not too many consumers would say insurance coverage is affordable, but you may be missing some discounts that can dramatically reduce your bill. Certain discounts will be applied when you complete an application, but some may not be applied and must be requested specifically before they will apply.
Discounts lower rates, but most discount credits are not given the the whole policy. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So despite the fact that it appears all those discounts means the company will pay you, it doesn’t quite work that way. Any qualifying discounts will bring down the cost of your policy.
Popular insurance coverage companies and a selection of discounts can be read below.
Double check with all companies you are considering which discounts you may be entitled to. All car insurance discounts may not apply to policyholders in your state. If you would like to see a list of companies who offer cheap insurance coverage quotes, follow this link.
When it comes to buying adequate coverage, there really is no cookie cutter policy. Everyone’s situation is a little different.
Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining whether or not you will benefit from professional help.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions then you might want to talk to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form. It’s fast, free and can help protect your family.
Many factors are used when premium rates are determined. Most are fairly basic such as traffic violations, but some are less obvious like your vehicle usage and annual miles driven.
Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see values of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.
Liability coverage pays for claims like funeral expenses, pain and suffering, court costs and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Monte Carlo from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for claims like hitting a parking meter, colliding with another moving vehicle and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like rock chips in glass, theft, a broken windshield and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Chevy Monte Carlo.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills such as X-ray expenses, EMT expenses and pain medications. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Consumers leave their current company for any number of reasons including high rates after DUI convictions, questionable increases in premium, poor customer service and denial of a claim. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch switching companies is not as hard as you think.
In this article, we presented a lot of information how to get a better price on 2000 Chevy Monte Carlo insurance. The key concept to understand is the more quotes you get, the better likelihood of getting inexpensive insurance coverage. You may even discover the best premium rates are with some of the lesser-known companies.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, make sure you don’t sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There have been many cases where consumers will sacrifice full coverage only to regret at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The aim is to buy enough coverage at the lowest possible cost, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.

It’s all a rip off. I’m from Bangor, ME. Got car insurance quotes from Allstate, AAA, and some I forget for my Chevrolet and I think I cut my rates about $20 each month. Insured with GMAC before. Wish I didn’t have to insure at all. I don’t put full coverage on it.

Does Florida require a SR-22 after a DUI?
Magdalena Marshall
Mine is so expensive. I live in a small town just outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Not sure of all the companies but I ended up saving about $20 each month. Teenage drivers are expensive! Not worth enough to pay for comprehensive and collision.
Lorean Pugh
I live just outside Salt Lake City, UT. I got free quotes from GEICO, Auto-Owners, and Encompass for my Chevrolet and cut my rates about $60 a year. Full coverage costs too much.

I got decent rates for a 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in Denver, Colorado. Ended up at about $110 every six months with Amica. I’m a pretty good driver though. It’s still not cheap enough. I don’t put full coverage on it.

I’m in the west part of Gulfport, MS, and Allstate rates were best. Did it all online.
Hollis Potter
Checking in from Rutland, VT. I got free quotes with Allstate, Encompass, and Hanover for my Chevrolet and I think I saved around $20 each month. Hardly afford to drive anymore. Next renewal I’ll just do liability.
Sonya Golden
Cheap car insurance? What’s that? Checking in from Fort Smith, AR. I got free quotes from AIG Insurance, Nationwide, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my Monte Carlo and I think I saved about $20 each month. They have a lot of discounts available. Might find lower rates online. Book value doesn’t justify full coverage anymore.
