You’ll find quite a bit of inaccurate information about insurance coverage on the internet, but I’m going to show you some proven techniques to reduce your insurance coverage bill.

Auto insurance discounts help slash rates

Auto insurance companies don’t necessarily list every available discount very clearly, so the following is a list of both the well known as well as the least known savings tricks you should be using when you buy insurance coverage online.

• Renewal Discounts – Some companies provide a discount for switching companies prior to your current policy expiration. This discount can save up to 10%.
• Multi-Vehicle Discounts – Having more than one vehicle on a single policy can reduce rates for all insured vehicles.
• Clubs and Organizations – Joining qualifying employment or professional organizations may earn a discount on auto insurance.
• One Accident Forgiven – This one is not really a discount per se, but some insurance companies will forgive one accident before they charge you more for coverage with the catch being you have to be claim-free before the accident.
• Onboard Data Collection – Insureds that choose to allow companies to analyze where and when they drive by installing a telematics device such as Drivewise from Allstate or Snapshot from Progressive could see a rate decrease as long as the data is positive.
• Driver’s Education for Students – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to enroll and complete driver’s education if offered at their school.
• Multiple Policy Discount – When you combine your auto and home insurance with one company you could save up to 20% and get you inexpensive insurance coverage.

Just know that some of the credits will not apply the the whole policy. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because you may think all those discounts means the company will pay you, it’s just not the way it works.

How much is insurance?

There are a variety of methods to compare insurance prices and some are easier and takes less work. You could spend the better part of a day talking to insurance agencies in your area, or you can stay home and use the web to get prices fast.

Many of the larger companies belong to a marketplace where insurance shoppers enter their policy data once, and each company then gives them pricing determined by their information. This saves time by eliminating quote requests to each company.

The single downside to comparing rates this way is you don’t know exactly the providers you want to price. So if you prefer to pick specific insurance companies to receive pricing from, we have a page of insurance companies in your area. Click here to view list.

Whichever method you choose, be sure to compare identical coverage limits and deductibles for each quote you get. If you are comparing higher or lower deductibles it will be nearly impossible to make a fair comparison for your Jeep Commander.

Which is the best auto insurance?

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s situation is unique.

Here are some questions about coverages that can help discover if your situation could use an agent’s help.

• Can my babysitter drive my car?
• Does my 2009 Jeep Commander qualify for pleasure use?
• Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
• Should I sign the liability waiver when renting a car?
• Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
• Am I covered when delivering products for my home-based business?
• Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
• What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?

If you can’t answer these questions, you might consider talking to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and can help protect your family.

Coverages available on your policy

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building, rolling your car, hitting a mailbox and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2009 Jeep Commander.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses for things like pain medications, EMT expenses, chiropractic care, prosthetic devices and nursing services. The coverages can be 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 in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability insurance

This protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others. It does not 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 liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things such as medical services, emergency aid and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverage

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 insurance covers things like rock chips in glass, fire damage, damage from getting keyed, vandalism and hail damage. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Buy online or local, you save

When searching for the cheapest insurance coverage quotes, make sure you don’t skimp on coverage in order to save money. In many cases, drivers have reduced physical damage coverage and learned later that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your objective should be to find the BEST coverage at an affordable rate.

Consumers change insurance companies for a number of reasons such as policy cancellation, delays in responding to claim requests, high rates after DUI convictions and poor customer service. Whatever your reason, switching companies can be easier than you think.

We covered a lot of tips how to get a better price on 2009 Jeep Commander insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more providers you compare, the better your comparison will be. Consumers could even find that the best price on auto insurance is with a small mutual company.
