Some insurers don’t list every policy discount very well, so we researched some of the more common and the harder-to-find credits available to bring down your rates. If you do not check that you are getting every discount you qualify for, you could be getting lower rates.
Discounts lower rates, but some credits don’t apply the the whole policy. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision. So even though they make it sound like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you aren’t that lucky.
A few popular companies and a partial list of their discounts can be found below.
It’s a good idea to ask each company which discounts you qualify for. Depending on the company, some discounts may not apply everywhere.
Many things are used when you quote your car insurance policy. A few of the factors are predictable such as your driving record, but other criteria are not quite as obvious such as whether you are married or your commute time.
Shown below are a few of the things used by insurance companies to determine your premiums.
When it comes to buying coverage for your vehicles, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. These are some specific questions may help highlight whether your personal situation will benefit from professional help.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form or go to this page to view a list of companies. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and you can get the answers you need.
Understanding the coverages of insurance can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.
This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. It protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as emergency aid, medical services and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Dodge Stratus.
Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Collision insurance pays for damage to your Stratus resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision insurance covers things like rolling your car, sustaining damage from a pot hole and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like dental work, hospital visits and nursing services. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
When you buy car insurance online, it’s a bad idea to buy poor coverage just to save money. There have been many situations where an accident victim reduced liability limits or collision coverage only to regret that they should have had better coverage. Your strategy should be to buy enough coverage for the lowest cost.
