How does every insurance company offer drivers better rates?
Insurance companies have an ideal profile for the type of driver that makes them money. For example, a desirable risk might be married and over the age of 30, has a clean driving record, and drives less than 7,500 miles a year. A propective insured that fits those parameters may get the lowest premium rates and therefore will cut their rates substantially.
Insureds who don’t measure up to the requirements will get higher premium rates with the end result being the customer not purchasing. The trick is to say “drivers that switch” but not “everyone who gets a quote” save money. That’s why companies can truthfully claim big savings. Because of these techniques, you really should get price quotes at each policy renewal. It is impossible to guess the company that will have the best rates for your profile.
Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverage types found on the average insurance policy.
Collision protection
This covers damage to your Reno caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox, scraping a guard rail and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Suzuki Reno.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
Comprehensive insurance
This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like vandalism, hitting a deer and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Auto liability
Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, legal defense fees, court costs and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses such as dental work, surgery and doctor visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
More affordable insurance coverage can be bought from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, so you need to quote insurance coverage with both to have the best selection. Some insurance coverage companies may not provide the ability to get a quote online and usually these regional carriers only sell coverage through independent insurance agents.
As you quote insurance coverage, it’s a bad idea to buy less coverage just to save a little money. There are too many instances where consumers will sacrifice collision coverage and found out when filing a claim that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. The goal is to buy enough coverage at the best cost, but do not skimp to save money.
