Although car owners do need to know how big insurance companies sell online and apply this information to your search.

Discounts to earn cheap insurance coverage rates

Auto insurance companies do not advertise all available discounts very clearly, so the next list breaks down some of the more common as well as the least known credits available to lower your premiums when you buy insurance online.

• Good Student – Maintaining excellent grades can get you a discount of up to 25%. Most companies allow this discount up until you turn 25.
• No Accidents – Drivers who stay claim-free pay less as opposed to accident-prone drivers.
• Defensive Driver Discount – Taking part in a course in defensive driver could possibly earn you a 5% discount if your company offers it.
• Mature Driver Discount – Drivers that qualify as senior citizens are able to get reduced rates on Discovery Series II insurance.
• Discounts for Safe Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents could pay up to 40% less on Discovery Series II insurance than drivers with accident claims.
• Organization Discounts – Being in specific professional or occupational memberships or organizations is a good way to get lower rates on insurance coverage.
• Low Mileage Discounts – Driving less could be rewarded with lower prices due to less chance of an accident.
• Employee of Federal Government – Having worked for a branch of the government can save as much as 8% on Discovery Series II insurance with select insurance companies.
• Accident Waiver – Not really a discount, but some companies like Liberty Mutual, Allstate and State Farm will turn a blind eye to one accident before they charge you more for coverage with the catch being you have to be claim-free before the accident.

One last thing about discounts, many deductions do not apply the the whole policy. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So when the math indicates it’s possible to get free car insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Car insurance companies that may offer most of the discounts above include:

• AAA
• Progressive
• State Farm
• Esurance
• Nationwide

When getting free insurance quotes, it’s a good idea to each company how many discounts you can get. Discounts might not apply in your state.

Compare auto insurance rate quotes

There are several ways to get quotes from companies that offer auto insurance in your state. The best method to find the cheapest Land Rover Discovery Series II insurance rates is to perform an online rate comparison. This is very easy and can be done in a couple minutes as outlined below.

• The best way to find low rates is an all-inclusive rate comparison (click to open form in new window). This form keeps you from doing separate quotes to each individual auto insurance company. Taking the time to complete one form will return quotes direct from many companies. This is by far the quickest method.
• A harder way to obtain and compare quotes online requires a trip to the website for every company you want to comare to complete a price quote. For examples sake, let’s say you want rates from USAA, Safeco and Progressive. You would need to go to every website and repeatedly type in your coverage information, which is not fast way to get rate quotes.

• The final way of getting rate comparisons is calling or driving to all the different insurance agencies. The ability to buy insurance online eliminates the need for an insurance agent unless you have a complicated situation and need the professional assistance of a licensed agent. If you prefer, some companies allow you to comparison shop your insurance online and have a local agent actually service the policy.

Whichever way you choose to compare rates, be sure you’re using nearly identical coverages and limits with every price quote. If you enter different values for each quote it’s not possible to decipher which rate is best. Slightly different coverage limits can result in a big premium difference. Just keep in mind that comparing a large number of companies increases your odds of finding lower pricing.

Tailor your car insurance coverage to you

When buying the best car insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no one size fits all plan. Everyone’s situation is unique.

For example, these questions might point out whether you may require specific advice.

• Can I get a multi-policy discount?
• Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
• Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
• Am I covered if hit by an uninsured driver?
• Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• How can I force my company to pay a claim?
• Am I covered if I break a side mirror?
• What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
• Do I need an umbrella policy?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form.

Educate yourself about car insurance coverages

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Coverage for liability – Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and property damage coverage for $100,000.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as bail bonds, medical expenses, funeral expenses and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision coverages – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Discovery Series II resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things such as backing into a parked car, damaging your car on a curb and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like prosthetic devices, dental work and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive coverage – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from 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 like damage from flooding, hitting a deer and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Land Rover Discovery Series II.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Be Smart and Buy Smart

People leave their current company for a variety of reasons including extreme rates for teen drivers, lack of trust in their agent, not issuing a premium refund and high prices. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, switching auto insurance companies is easier than you think.

Lower-priced 2001 Land Rover Discovery Series II insurance is attainable both online as well as from insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to have the best rate selection. There are still a few companies who do not offer internet price quotes and these smaller companies work with independent insurance agents.

When you buy insurance online, never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There have been many situations where drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage only to discover later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your objective should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at an affordable rate, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.
