Are you regretting the purchase of an underperforming, overpriced insurance coverage policy? Don’t feel bad because many drivers have buyer’s remorse.
With consumers having so many companies and agents to choose from, it is very difficult to find the right company.
You should make it a habit to do rate comparisons at least once a year since rates fluctuate regularly. Even if you think you had the best rate on 200 coverage a few years ago a different company probably has better prices today. Ignore everything you know about insurance coverage because I’m going to teach you the things you must know in order to save on insurance coverage.
Part of the insurance coverage buying process is learning some of the factors that go into determining the level of your policy premiums. If you have a feel for what impacts premium levels, this empowers consumers to make smart changes that can help you get better insurance coverage rates. Multiple criteria are used when you get a price on insurance. Some of the criteria are obvious like your driving record, although some other factors are less obvious like your continuous coverage and annual miles driven.
The list below includes some of the most rate-impacting factors used by companies to determine your premiums.
Some providers do not advertise all possible discounts very clearly, so the next list breaks down a few of the more common as well as the least known credits available to lower your premiums when you buy insurance online.
One thing to note about discounts is that most discount credits are not given the the whole policy. The majority will only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision. So despite the fact that it appears adding up those discounts means a free policy, you’re out of luck.

Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Chrysler 200.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
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 policy limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.
Liability insurance covers claims like bail bonds, court costs and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
This coverage pays for damage to your 200 resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car, driving through your garage door and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses such as surgery, prosthetic devices and EMT expenses. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as falling objects, hitting a deer and vandalism. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
