Performing a rate comparison can be a lot of work if you don’t know the easiest way. You could spend the better part of a day discussing policy coverages with insurance companies in your area, or you can stay home and use online quotes for quick rates.

Most of the best insurance companies belong to an insurance system that enables customers to send in one quote, and at least one company returns a competitive quote based on that data. This prevents consumers from doing form submissions to every company.

The single downside to pricing coverage this way is you are unable to specify which companies you want pricing from. If you wish to select individual companies to compare, we have a page of auto insurance companies in your area. Click here for list of insurance companies.

Whichever way you choose to compare rates, make sure you are using identical coverage limits with every price quote. If the quotes have mixed coverages it’s impossible to make a fair rate comparison. Even a minor difference in coverages can mean a large discrepancy in price. Just keep in mind that comparing a wide range of rates helps increase your odds of locating better pricing. Not every company allows you to get price estimates online, so it’s necessary to compare price quotes from them as well.

Tailor your car insurance coverage to you

When buying proper insurance coverage, there is no one size fits all plan. Everyone’s needs are different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine whether you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

• Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?
• Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
• Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
• What if I don’t agree with a claim settlement offer?
• Is my state a no-fault state?
• Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?

If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area.

Specific coverage details

Knowing the specifics of insurance can help you determine the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, rock chips in glass and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto liability

Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as attorney fees, emergency aid and legal defense fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Bravada from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a ditch, driving through your garage door, crashing into a building and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like doctor visits, ambulance fees, surgery, prosthetic devices and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
