Buy car insurance online

There are several ways to shop for car insurance, but one way is less time-consuming than others. You could waste a few hours discussing policy coverages with insurance agencies in your area, or you could use online quoting to maximize your effort.

The majority of car insurance companies take part in a program that allows shoppers to complete one form, and at least one company can provide price quotes based on that information. This system prevents you from having to do quotation requests for each company you want a rate for.

The one downside to using this type of form is you cannot specify which carriers you will receive quotes from. If you wish to select specific providers to compare rates, we have assembled a list of car insurance companies in your area. Click to view list.

Which method you use is up to you, but make absolute certain that you use the exact same coverage data for every quote you compare. If you are comparing unequal deductibles or liability limits it’s not possible to get a fair rate comparison. Just slight variations in insurance coverages can mean a large discrepancy in price. Keep in mind that getting more free quotes provides better odds of finding more affordable insurance. Some regional insurers cannot provide online rate quotes, so you need to compare price estimates from them, too.

Do you qualify for discount auto insurance?

Auto insurance is easily one of your largest bills, but there’s a good chance there are discounts that could drop your premiums quite a bit. Certain credits will be shown when you complete an application, but once in a while a discount must be asked about before you will receive the discount.

• Own a Home – Owning a home may trigger a policy discount on auto insurance because owning a home requires personal responsibility.
• No Claim Discounts – Insureds who avoid accidents and claims pay much less when compared to policyholders that have many claims.
• Driver Education Discount – Require your teen driver to complete a driver education course if it’s offered in school.
• Federal Employees – Active or retired federal employment can save as much as 8% for STS insurance depending on your company.
• Anti-theft Discount – Cars, trucks, and SUVs equipped with tracking devices and advanced anti-theft systems have a lower chance of being stolen so companies will give you a small discount.
• Discount for Low Mileage – Driving fewer miles can earn cheaper rates.
• More Vehicles More Savings – Buying a policy with multiple cars on the same auto insurance policy can reduce the rates for all insured vehicles.
• Good Driver Discount – Safe drivers can save up to 40% or more on their insurance quote for STS insurance than less cautious drivers.

Just know that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. Just because you may think it’s possible to get free car insurance, you aren’t that lucky.

• Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?
• Does my medical payments coverage pay my health insurance deductible?
• How much liability coverage do I need in my state?
• Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?

Insurance coverage options for a Cadillac STS

Understanding the coverages of insurance can help you determine which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverage types found on most insurance policies.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, theft, vandalism, hitting a bird and hail damage. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses for things like pain medications, surgery and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your STS resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as driving through your garage door, crashing into a building and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This provides protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2006 Cadillac STS.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Auto liability

This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. It does not 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. You might see policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers things like medical services, pain and suffering, attorney fees, repair costs for stationary objects and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
