Forget anything you know (or think you know) about insurance because I’m going to let you in on the secrets to the easiest way to find the best coverage while lowering your premiums.
If you have a policy now or are looking for a new policy, you can use these tips to reduce the price you pay and possibly find even better coverage. Finding affordable coverage is not rocket science. Vehicle owners just need to learn the proper methods to shop their coverage around on the web.
Some providers don’t always advertise the complete list of policy discounts very well, so here is a list a few of the more well known as well as the least known credits available to you.
Discounts save money, but please remember that many deductions do not apply the the whole policy. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. So even though they make it sound like all those discounts means the company will pay you, nobody gets a free ride. Any amount of discount will bring down the cost of your policy.
The best insurance companies and their offered discounts include:
If you need lower rates, check with all companies you are considering which discounts you qualify for. Some of the earlier mentioned discounts might not be available to policyholders in every state. To view insurers that offer the discounts shown above, follow this link.
The most recommended method to compare rates utilizes the fact most insurance companies participate in online systems to provide you with a free rate quote. All you need to do is give them rating details such as the ages of drivers, if you’re married, how much school you completed, and whether or not you need a SR-22. Your information is instantly submitted to multiple top-rated companies and they respond with quotes with very little delay.
Consumers need to have an understanding of some of the elements that go into determining the rates you pay for insurance coverage. If you understand what determines premiums, this enables you to make decisions that may reward you with big savings. Lots of things are part of the calculation when quoting car insurance. Some are pretty understandable like your driving record, but others are not quite as obvious such as whether you are married or your financial responsibility.
Shown below are a partial list of the pieces used by your company to calculate your rates.
When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so this has to be addressed. For example, these questions might point out if your insurance needs might need an agent’s assistance.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It only takes a few minutes and may give you better protection.
Learning about specific coverages of car insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are the normal coverages found on most car insurance policies.
Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t 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. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000.
Liability coverage protects against things such as bail bonds, loss of income, court costs and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses for things like rehabilitation expenses, EMT expenses, nursing services, surgery and dental work. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Collision insurance pays for damage to your LS 430 from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against things such as scraping a guard rail, damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a building and hitting a mailbox. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
This coverage 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 pays for things like hail damage, a broken windshield, damage from getting keyed, falling objects and theft. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2001 Lexus LS 430.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Lower-priced auto insurance is available on the web and from local agencies, and you should be comparing both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance providers may not have online price quotes and many times these smaller companies sell through local independent agents.
As you quote insurance coverage, make sure you don’t reduce coverage to reduce premium. Too many times, someone sacrificed liability coverage limits only to discover later they didn’t have enough coverage. The aim is to buy enough coverage at the lowest possible cost and still be able to protect your assets.
