Low cost auto insurance prices

Performing a rate comparison can be exhausting if you aren’t aware of the most efficient way. You can waste a few hours (or days) driving to insurance companies in your area, or you could use the internet to get pricing more quickly.

Most of the best insurance companies belong to a marketplace that enables customers to enter their policy data once, and at least one company can provide price quotes based on that data. This system prevents you from having to do quote requests for each company you want a rate for.

The one disadvantage to pricing coverage this way is that you can’t choose which providers you want pricing from. So if you prefer to pick from a list of companies to compare rates, we have a page of companies who write auto insurance in your area. View list of insurance companies.

Which method you use is up to you, but ensure you’re using the exact same coverage data for each quote you get. If you are comparing different values for each quote then you won’t be able to determine the lowest rate for your Cadillac Eldorado.

Find hidden discounts on insurance

Companies that sell car insurance don’t always publicize every available discount very clearly, so here is a list a few of the more common and also the more inconspicuous credits that you can use to lower your rates. If you’re not getting every credit you qualify for, you are just wasting money.

• Telematics Discount – Drivers that enable driving data collection to analyze where and when they drive by using a telematics device like In-Drive from State Farm and Progressive’s Snapshot might get better premium rates if they are good drivers.
• Seat Belt Usage – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to buckle up before driving could cut 10% or more off the PIP or medical payment premium.
• Military Rewards – Having a family member in the military could be rewarded with lower prices.
• Discounts for Government Workers – Federal government employees may qualify for a discount when you quote insurance for Eldorado insurance depending on your insurance provider.
• Home Ownership Discount – Just being a homeowner can earn you a little savings since home ownership demonstrates responsibility.
• Safety Course Discount – Passing a course in driver safety could earn you a small percentage discount if your company offers it.
• Discounts for Multiple Vehicles – Drivers who insure all your vehicles on the same insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.

As a disclaimer on discounts, many deductions do not apply to the entire cost. Most cut specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So when the math indicates you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you won’t be that lucky.

Tailor your insurance coverage coverage to you

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Every insured’s situation is different.

For example, these questions can aid in determining whether you may require specific advice.

• Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
• Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
• What are the financial responsibility laws in my state?
• How does medical payments coverage work?
• Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
• Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form. It is quick, free and can provide invaluable advice.

Insurance coverages 101

Having a good grasp of your insurance 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 coverage can change by endorsement.

Collision coverage

This coverage covers damage to your Eldorado from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail, backing into a parked car and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as hail damage, a broken windshield, theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a bird. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 2002 Cadillac Eldorado.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Auto liability insurance

This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability insurance covers claims like legal defense fees, bail bonds and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but buy as much as you can afford.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses for dental work, prosthetic devices, rehabilitation expenses and funeral costs. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
