How Much Does 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport Insurance Cost?

Are you irritated from scraping the payment together to insure your Isuzu every month? You’re in the same situation as most other vehicle owners.

Vehicle owners have so many insurance companies to buy insurance from, and even though it’s nice to be able to choose, it can be more difficult to find the lowest rates.

It’s important to get comparison quotes every six months because prices change frequently. Despite the fact that you may have had the lowest rate for Rodeo Sport insurance a few years ago there is a good chance you can find better premium rates now. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about insurance because you’re going to learn one of the best ways to properly buy coverages and cut your premium.

Lower rates by qualifying for discounts

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but there may be some discounts that you may not even be aware of. Some trigger automatically when you get a quote, but a few must be asked for before they will apply. If they aren’t giving you every credit available, you are paying more than you should be.

  • Government Employee Discount – Federal government employees could cut as much as 10% off for Rodeo Sport insurance with select insurance companies.
  • Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags or automatic seat belts may earn rate discounts of 20% or more.
  • Military Rewards – Having an actively deployed family member can result in better prices.
  • No Accidents – Drivers who stay claim-free have much lower rates compared to bad drivers.
  • Discount for Life Insurance – Larger insurance companies have a discounted price on car insurance if you buy auto and life insurance together.
  • Anti-lock Brakes – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can avoid accidents and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Discounts for Good Drivers – Safe drivers can pay as much as 50% less for Rodeo Sport insurance as compared to drivers with claims.
  • Pay Now and Pay Less – If paying your policy premium upfront as opposed to paying monthly you can actually save on your bill.

Remember that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire policy premium. Most only reduce specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. Even though it appears all the discounts add up to a free policy, you aren’t that lucky.

Some of the insurance companies that may have these benefits are:

If you need cheaper insurance quotes, ask all companies you are considering which discounts you may be entitled to. Some discounts might not apply in your area. If you would like to choose from a list of insurance companies with significant discounts, follow this link.

Car insurance is unique, just like you

When it comes to buying coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s needs are different so this has to be addressed. For example, these questions might point out if you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
  • What discounts do I qualify for?
  • Am I covered when delivering products for my home-based business?
  • Is extra glass coverage worth it?
  • Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
  • Should I bundle my homeowners policy with my auto?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, you might consider talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area.

Coverages available on your policy

Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from auto insurance companies.

Liability car insurance – This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, structural damage, medical services and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.

UM/UIM Coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Isuzu Rodeo Sport.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical costs insurance – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills for EMT expenses, rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits, ambulance fees and funeral costs. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims like backing into a parked car, scraping a guard rail and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like rock chips in glass, theft, damage from getting keyed, vandalism and hitting a deer. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

In the end, you save

As you prepare to switch companies, it’s very important that you do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. In too many instances, an insured dropped liability limits or collision coverage only to regret that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your objective should be to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.

Budget-friendly car insurance can be found online and from local insurance agents, so get free insurance quotes from both of them to get a complete price analysis. Some companies do not offer online quoting and usually these small insurance companies work with independent agents.

Comments About 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport Insurance

  1. Garnet Whitley

    Will State Farm raise rates after an accident?

  2. Rachelle Osborn

    From northwest of Montgomery, Alabama. Got car insurance rates from Travelers, Auto-Owners, The General, and Safeco for my 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport and I think I saved around $20 each month. Left Nationwide to switch. Book value doesn’t justify full coverage anymore.

  3. Bruno Golden

    Cheap is relative. I live in a small town just outside of Newark, DE. Don’t remember every company but I ended up saving about $30 each month. Ask about discounts. I recommend comparing lots of rates. Next renewal I’ll just do liability.

  4. Liza Kinney

    Thought I’d throw in my experience. From Milwaukee, WI. Got car insurance rates from American Family, Mercury, and a few others for my Rodeo Sport and saved $76 a year. They have a lot of discounts available. I think I’ll get rid of full coverage next time.

  5. Tilda Donaldson

    I found pretty cheap rate quotes for a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport in Virginia Beach, VA. Ended up at about $100 every six months with American Family. It’s still not cheap enough.

  6. Holly Gibbs

    Not sure if this is cheap. I live just outside San Antonio, TX. Got quotes with GEICO, Encompass, and The General for my Isuzu and saved $67 a year. Have an at-fault accident tho. Just go online and compare their rates. I don’t have comp or collision coverage.

  7. Tiara Livingston

    Found cheapest coverage with AAA for my Isuzu and cut my rates about $80 a year. Was with Amica. Thankfully I’m not a high risk driver. They were helpful in switching over. I just carry liability insurance.

  8. Tasha Mckinney

    I think 21st Century has low rates in Kansas. For me anyway.

  9. Karl Benton

    I’m in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington. Received prices from GEICO, AIG Insurance, and some I forget for my 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport and saved just over $100 a year. I used their online quote form to compare rates. I dropped full coverage awhile back.

  10. Vernice Mcintosh

    Cheap is not always the best policy. I live in Bismarck, North Dakota. Got car insurance quotes from Auto-Owners, Erie, and Sentry for my Isuzu and saved around $80 a year. It’s easy to compare rates online now. Liability only on my Rodeo Sport.

  11. Marta Burke

    Here’s what I found out. I’m just west of Tulsa, OK. Quoted a bunch of companies. Saved right around $30 a month. GEICO was the most affordable for me. I have a teen driver too. God forbid I actually have a claim. I’m thinking about dropping full coverage though.

  12. Daphne Joyce

    Does Alaska require a SR-22 after a DUI?

  13. Suzan Clark

    If you have a good history and live around Cedar Rapids, IA, check out 21st Century. I saved quite a bit. God forbid I actually have a claim. It’s too old for full coverage.

  14. Dorene Marsh

    Like your site, BTW. From north side of Mobile, AL. I got free quotes with AAA, Farmers, and Sentry for my Isuzu and I think I cut my rates about $30 each month. Left American Family to switch. I get lower rates because of my clean driving record. You can get a rate quote online. It’s too old for full coverage.

  15. Thelma Walls

    From northwest of Las Cruces, New Mexico. I got free quotes from Auto-Owners, Safeco, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport and I think I saved around $30 each month. Left 21st Century to switch. Highly recommended. I dropped full coverage awhile back.
