Choosing the best insurance company for you is easy if you know what you’re doing. If you have a current car insurance policy or need new coverage, you can use these tips to shop for the lowest rates and possibly find even better coverage. Consumers just need to know the proper methods to get comparison quotes over the internet.
Companies offering auto insurance do not advertise all available discounts very well, so here is a list both the well known in addition to some of the lesser obvious discounts that you may qualify for.
Consumers should know that some credits don’t apply to the entire policy premium. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. So even though it sounds like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you aren’t that lucky.
A list of companies and some of their more popular discounts are included below.
Before you buy a policy, ask every insurance company which discounts you qualify for. Some of the discounts discussed earlier may not apply to policies in your area. To view providers that provide some of the discounts listed above, follow this link.
When choosing adequate coverage, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.
For instance, these questions can aid in determining whether you might need professional guidance.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and may give you better protection.
Consumers can’t get away from all the ads that promise big savings by companies like 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm. All the companies try to convey promises that people will save if you switch your insurance coverage coverage to their company.
That’s great but how can every company say the same thing? Just pay attention to how they say it.
Many companies give the best rates for the type of insured that will not have excessive claims. A good example of a preferred risk should be between the ages of 30 and 50, has never had a policy lapse, and has a short commute. Anybody that hits that “sweet spot” will get a cheap rate quote and as a result will probably save when switching.
Drivers who may not quite match the requirements will be charged a higher rate and the customer not buying. The wording the ads use say “people that switch” but not “all drivers who get quotes” save that much money. That’s the way insurance companies can confidently make claims that they all have the best rates. This really illustrates why you need to compare price quotes frequently. It’s not possible to predict with any certainty which company will provide you with the cheapest prices.
Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Collision coverage protection
This coverage covers damage to your Sierra 2500HD Classic 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 pays for claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
UM/UIM Coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD Classic.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.
Medical costs insurance
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses such as pain medications, X-ray expenses, funeral costs and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as falling objects, a broken windshield, hitting a bird and hitting a deer. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Liability insurance
Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and property damage coverage for $100,000.
Liability coverage protects against things like medical services, medical expenses and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible.
As you quote auto insurance, it’s a bad idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. There have been many situations where an insured cut uninsured motorist or liability limits only to find out that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your focus should be to purchase plenty of coverage at the lowest possible cost while still protecting your assets.
