Are you tired of scraping the payment together each month for insurance? You’re in the same situation as many other consumers. Drivers have so many auto insurance companies to buy insurance from, and although it’s a good thing to have a selection, too many choices makes it more difficult to compare rates and find the lowest cost insurance.

Pricing the lowest cost insurance is quite easy. If you are insured now or are shopping for new coverage, you can use these tips to find better prices while maximizing coverage. Consumers just need to learn the most efficient way to compare price quotes over the internet.

How much does insurance coverage cost?

Finding a better price on insurance coverage can be quick and easy. All you need to do is take a few minutes getting comparison quotes to find. Shoppers can get rates using a couple different methods.

The simplest way to compare a lot of rates at once is an all-inclusive rate comparison (click to open form in new window). This quick form prevents you from having to do multiple quote forms for every prospective company. Completing one form gets you price quotes from multiple companies.

Another way to shop for insurance coverage online consists of visiting the website for every company you want to comare and fill out their own quote form. For examples sake, let’s assume you want to compare prices for State Farm, 21st Century and Geico. To find out each rate you need to take the time to go to each site to enter your coverage information, which is why most consumers use the first method.

• When should I buy a commercial auto policy?
• Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
• Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
• What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
• Do I have any recourse if my insurance company denies a claim?

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 or you can also visit this page to select a carrier It is quick, free and you can get the answers you need.

Auto insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverages available from auto insurance companies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your 2012 Chevy Malibu.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Normally these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hitting a deer, theft, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your Malibu from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a parking meter, colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability coverages

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, court costs, funeral expenses and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills like chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, surgery, dental work and ambulance fees. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. 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. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
