How Much Does 2011 Hyundai Genesis Insurance Cost?

Are you baffled by the sheer number of insurance choices available to you? You have so many options that it can be a lot of work to find the lowest price.

How to lower your insurance cost

When shopping for low cost insurance quotes, there are a couple of ways of comparing price quotes from different companies.

This form saves time by eliminating multiple quote forms for each company. Filling out one form will get you price quotes from multiple low-cost companies. Recommended for those who want to invest the least amount of time.

Another way to analyze rates requires you to visit each company’s website and request a quote. For example, let’s say you want to compare prices for State Farm, Safeco and Geico.

The final way to find lower rates to all the different insurance agencies. Comparing rate quotes online eliminates this option unless you have a need for the trained advice that only a licensed agent can provide. If you prefer, some companies allow you to get prices online but buy the policy through an agent.

Whichever way you choose to compare rates, double check that you are using apples-to-apples quote information on every quote you get. If you use different data it will be very difficult to get a fair rate comparison. Quoting even small variations in insurance coverages can make a big difference in price. And when comparing insurance rates, know that getting more free quotes gives you a better chance of getting the best rates.

Are you getting every discount?

Some insurance providers don’t list all disounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the following is a list of both the well known and the more hidden insurance coverage savings.

• Mature Driver Discount – Drivers that qualify as senior citizens may qualify for a small discount on rates on Genesis insurance.
• Accident-Free Discounts – Insureds who avoid accidents and claims have much lower rates in comparison with policyholders that have many claims.
• Good Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents could pay up to 40% less on Genesis insurance than drivers with accidents.
• Theft Deterent System – Vehicles that have factory anti-theft systems are stolen with less frequency and that can save you a little bit as well.
• Braking Control Discount – Vehicles equipped with ABS or steering control are much safer to drive so companies give up to a 10% discount.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given the the whole policy. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. Just because you may think you can get free auto insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Larger insurance coverage companies and a partial list of their discounts are:

• Geico offers premium reductions for seat belt use, membership and employees, daytime running lights, five-year accident-free, good student, and anti-lock brakes.
• USAA has discounts for loyalty savings, safe driver, family discount, new vehicle, multi-policy, and defensive driver.
• Progressive may include discounts for homeowner, continuous coverage, good student, multi-vehicle, online signing, and multi-policy.

Specific coverages for a 2011 Hyundai Genesis

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Hyundai Genesis.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers claims such as bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects, loss of income and funeral expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane and falling objects. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage

This pays for damage to your Genesis resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like pain medications, EMT expenses, funeral costs, dental work and X-ray expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
