Think you have an underperforming, overpriced insurance coverage policy? Believe me when I say there are many people just like you.

Because you have many insurance companies to choose from, it’s difficult to find the best insurer.

How to buy insurance coverage online

There are multiple methods to compare insurance coverage quotes, and some are easier and takes less work. You can spend your afternoon driving to local insurance agents in your area, or you could save time and use the web to get rates in a matter of minutes.

Most car insurance companies participate in an industry program that enables customers to submit their information once, and every company can give them a price based on that information. This saves time by eliminating quotation requests for every insurance coverage company. To compare rates using this form now click here to open in new window.

The one downside to getting quotes like this is you don’t know exactly the insurers to receive prices from. If you would rather choose specific insurance companies to compare, we have a page of companies who write insurance coverage in your area. Click here to view list.

You can use whichever method you prefer to find lower rates, just try to keep the same coverages for every quote you compare. If you enter different values for each quote it will be next to impossible to determine which company has the best rates. Quoting even small variations in insurance coverages or limits may result in a large different in cost. Just keep in mind that making a lot of price comparisons helps locate the best offered rates. Some regional insurers cannot provide price estimates online, so you need to compare prices from them as well.

Auto insurance discounts help cut rates

The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but there could be available discounts to help bring down the price. Certain reductions will be credited when you complete an application, but a few must be asked about before you will receive the discount.

  • Driver Safety – Taking part in a course in defensive driving may get you a small discount and also improve your driving technique.
  • Sign Early and Save – Some auto insurance companies provide a discount for buying a policy before your current expiration date. You may see this discount when you get insurance quotes online.
  • No Charge for an Accident – Not necessarily a discount, but some insurance companies will forgive one accident without raising rates so long as you are claim-free for a certain period of time.
  • Driver Education Discount – Teen drivers should sucessfully take a drivers education course as it will make them better drivers and lower rates.
  • Good Student Discount – Excelling in school may save you up to 25%. The good student discount can last up to age 25.

A little note about advertised discounts, most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. Even though the math looks like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you’re out of luck.

Companies and some of their more popular discounts can be found below.

  • State Farm may have discounts that include good driver, anti-theft, defensive driving training, student away at school, Steer Clear safe driver discount, driver’s education, and multiple policy.
  • Esurance offers premium reductions for online shopper, anti-theft, safety device, Pac-12 alumni, emergency road assistance, and DriveSense.
  • Progressive policyholders can earn discounts including good student, online quote discount, online signing, multi-policy, and homeowner.
  • Liberty Mutual has discounts for exclusive group savings, good student, newly retired, new move discount, and new vehicle discount.
  • Auto-Owners Insurance may offer discounts for teen driver, air bags, multi-policy, student away at school, safe driver, mature driver, and company car.
  • Geico has savings for defensive driver, multi-policy, five-year accident-free, military active duty, multi-vehicle, anti-theft, and federal employee.

If you need affordable insurance quotes, ask every prospective company how you can save money. A few discounts may not apply to policyholders in your area. To see a list of providers that provide some of the discounts listed above, follow this link.

Parts of your insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for EMT expenses, nursing services and rehabilitation expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto collision coverage

This covers damage to your Equus resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims like hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage

This 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 claims like fire damage, vandalism, hitting a deer and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 2011 Hyundai Equus.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for liability

This can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property that is your fault. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical expenses and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but buy as much as you can afford.

Shop smart and save

We just covered some good ideas how to save on 2011 Hyundai Equus insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more rate quotes you have, the better your comparison will be. You may even discover the best prices are with the least-expected company. Regional companies may only write in your state and offer lower rates as compared to the big name companies such as Geico and State Farm.

Lower-priced insurance coverage can be purchased both online and from local agencies, so you should compare both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some insurance providers do not offer the ability to get a quote online and many times these regional insurance providers work with local independent agents.
