Drivers save money with these money-saving discounts

Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but you might find some hidden discounts to reduce the price significantly. Some discounts will apply at the time of quoting, but occassionally some discounts must be inquired about before you will receive the discount.

• Distant Student – Any of your kids who are enrolled in higher education away from home without a vehicle on campus can receive lower rates.
• Passenger Safety Discount – Vehicles equipped with air bags or motorized seat belts may qualify for discounts of up to 25% or more.
• Auto/Life Discount – Not every insurance company offers life insurance, but if they do you may earn lower rates if you buy a life insurance policy as well.
• Telematics Devices – People who choose to allow their company to study where and when they drive by installing a telematics device such as Progressive’s Snapshot might see lower rates if they show good driving skills.
• No Claim Discounts – Claim-free drivers pay less in comparison to insureds who have frequent claims or accidents.
• 55 and Retired – If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may be able to get reduced rates for Venture coverage.
• Good Students Pay Less – Maintaining excellent grades could provide a savings of up to 20% or more. This discount can apply up to age 25.
• Switch and Save Discount – Some insurance companies reward drivers for renewing your policy before your current coverage expires. Ten percent is about the average savings.

You can save money using discounts, but most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Even though it appears you could get a free insurance policy, you’re out of luck.

Do I need special coverages?

When it comes to choosing the right insurance coverage, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Each situation is unique.

For instance, these questions can aid in determining if you would benefit from professional advice.

• Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
• How does medical payments coverage work?
• Do I have newly-aquired coverage?
• What discounts do I qualify for?
• When should I not file a claim?
• Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?
• Does my 2001 Chevy Venture qualify for pleasure use?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and can provide invaluable advice.

Coverages available on your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Venture resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, colliding with a tree, sideswiping another vehicle, damaging your car on a curb and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. It protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage protects against things like medical services, bail bonds and court costs. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Coverage for medical expenses

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses such as pain medications, EMT expenses, funeral costs, prosthetic devices and surgery. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Chevy Venture.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like fire damage, falling objects, damage from flooding, vandalism and hitting a bird. The most your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Buy online or local, you save

Cost effective 2001 Chevy Venture insurance is possible online as well as from insurance agents, so you need to shop insurance coverage with both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies may not offer rate quotes online and many times these regional carriers only sell through independent agents.

Drivers change insurance companies for a number of reasons such as delays in responding to claim requests, lack of trust in their agent, policy cancellation or even not issuing a premium refund. Whatever your reason, switching companies can be pretty painless.

We’ve covered a lot of tips how to lower your 2001 Chevy Venture insurance premium rates. It’s most important to understand that the more quotes you get, the better chance you’ll have of finding the cheapest insurance coverage. You may be surprised to find that the lowest premium rates are with a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising.
