How to buy insurance online

Finding cheap 2010 Kia Soul insurance rates is a great way to save money. All that’s required is to take the time comparing rates online from several insurance companies. This can be accomplished in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

• The simplest way to compare a lot of rates at once would be an industry-wide quote request form (click to open form in new window). This style of form prevents you from having to do separate forms for every company. Completing one form will return quotes from all major companies. This is by far the quickest method.
• Another way to get comparison quotes requires visiting each company’s website to request a price quote. For instance, let’s say you want to get rates from USAA, Safeco and Travelers. You would be required to go to every website and enter your information, which explains why we recommend starting with the first method.

It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just make sure you are using the same coverage information for each comparison quote. If you enter different values for each quote it will be impossible to determine the best price for your Kia Soul.

Find discounts on car insurance

Car insurance is expensive, but you may qualify for discounts to help bring down the price. Many discounts should be triggered when you purchase, but some discounts are required to be inquired about before they will apply.

• Theft Deterent – Cars with anti-theft systems help deter theft and that can save you a little bit as well.
• Multi-line Discount – Larger insurance carriers have lower premium rates if you buy some life insurance too.
• Multiple Cars – Insuring multiple cars or trucks on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
• Online Discount – Many larger companies will provide an incentive for completing your application over the internet.
• Accident Forgiveness – but certain companies will let one accident slide before raising your premiums if you have no claims for a certain period of time.
• Early Payment Discounts – If you pay your bill all at once as opposed to paying monthly you can avoid monthly service charges.

Remember that some credits don’t apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. Just because you may think having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it just doesn’t work that way.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When it comes to buying the best insurance coverage, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Each situation is unique.

Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining whether or not you could use an agent’s help.

• Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• Do I need an umbrella policy?
• Should I buy additional glass protection?
• Should I sign the liability waiver when renting a car?
• What if I total my 2010 Kia Soul and owe more than it’s worth?
• Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
• Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
• Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
• What is an SR-22 filing?
• Should I buy full coverage?

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

Educate yourself about car insurance coverages

Knowing the specifics of car insurance helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Kia Soul.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Comprehensive car insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, theft, a broken windshield, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims like hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Coverage for medical expenses

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like X-ray expenses, doctor visits, chiropractic care and hospital visits. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability insurance

Liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things like structural damage, attorney fees, medical expenses and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
