The method we recommend to compare insurance rates in your area is to take advantage of the fact most larger insurance companies pay for the opportunity to quote your coverage.

That information gets sent immediately to all major companies and they respond with quotes instantly to find the best rate.

Insurance Discounts

Some insurance providers don’t always list all available discounts very well, so we took the time to find a few of the more common and also the lesser-known credits available to bring down your rates. If you don’t get every credit available, you’re paying more than you need to.

• Multi-Vehicle Discounts – Buying insurance for more than one vehicle on a single policy can get a discount for every vehicle.
• Safe Driver Discounts – Drivers who avoid accidents can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates on 350Z coverage compared to accident prone drivers.
• Military Deployment Discount – Being deployed in the military may lower your insurance rates slightly.
• Safety Restraint Discount – Forcing all vehicle occupants to use a seat belt can save up to 10 percent (depending on the company) off the personal injury premium cost.
• Data Collection Discounts – Drivers that enable companies to spy on driving habits by using a telematics device in their vehicle such as Progressive’s Snapshot could see a rate decrease as long as the data is positive.
• Paperless Signup – Many companies will give you a small discount for buying your policy on the internet.
• Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags can get savings of 20 to 30 percent.
• Drive Less and Save – Maintaining low annual mileage can qualify you for discounted insurancerates on garaged vehicles.
• Payment Method – By making one initial payment instead of making monthly payments you may reduce your total bill.

Don’t be surprised that some of the credits will not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. Even though it may seem like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you aren’t that lucky. Any amount of discount will reduce the cost of coverage.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When buying the best insurance coverage, there isn’t really a cookie cutter policy. Every insured’s situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that may help highlight if your situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

• Is my vehicle covered by my employer’s policy when using it for work?
• Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
• Do I have coverage when making deliveries for my home business?
• Exactly who is provided coverage by my policy?
• Does my personal policy cover me when driving out-of-state?
• Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
• Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in my state?
• Do I need roadside assistance coverage?

If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.

Coverages available on your auto insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of your auto insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property in an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show values of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers things such as funeral expenses, emergency aid, bail bonds, legal defense fees and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like ambulance fees, X-ray expenses, hospital visits and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as fire damage, vandalism and rock chips in glass. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage

This coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Nissan 350Z.

Because many people 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 very important. Most of the time these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance pays for damage to your 350Z from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, scraping a guard rail and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
