How Much Does 2012 Ford Expedition Insurance Cost?

Searching for cheaper insurance rates for your Ford Expedition? If price shopping auto insurance quotes online is new to you, there’s a good chance you are overwhelmed of local and online companies that all promise the best rates.

It’s smart to quote other rates yearly because insurance prices fluctuate regularly. If you had the best price on Expedition coverage a year ago there may be better deals available now. You can find a lot of wrong information about insurance out there, but in this article, you’re going to get some proven techniques to find affordable insurance.

Buy insurance coverage online

There are several ways to shop for insurance coverage, but some are easier and takes less work. You could spend your day talking about coverages with insurance companies in your area, or you can stay home and use the internet to get pricing more quickly.

Most of the best insurance companies participate in a marketplace that allows shoppers to send in one quote, and every company returns a rated price. This system prevents you from having to do form submissions to every company.

The only downside to using this type of form is that consumers can’t choose which insurance companies to receive prices from. If you prefer to choose individual companies to request quotes from, we have a listing of the cheapest insurance coverage companies in your area. View list of insurance companies.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but do your best to use exactly the same coverage limits and deductibles for each quote you get. If the quotes have different values for each quote you can’t possibly find the best deal for your Ford Expedition. Just a small difference in coverages can make a big difference in price. Keep in mind that having more price comparisons increases the change that you will find more affordable rates. Some insurance companies are not set up to provide quotes online, so you need to compare price estimates from them as well.

Affordable car insurance rates with discounts

The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but you can get discounts that many people don’t even know exist. Certain credits will be shown at quote time, but occassionally some discounts must be manually applied prior to getting the savings.

  • Discount for New Cars – Buying a new car instead of a used car can be considerably cheaper since new vehicles have better safety ratings.
  • Smart Student Discounts – Performing well in school may save you up to 25%. Earning this discount can benefit you well after school through age 25.
  • Anti-lock Brake System – Cars with anti-lock braking systems can avoid accidents and the ABS can save up to 10%.
  • Theft Deterent System – Anti-theft and alarm system equipped vehicles prevent vehicle theft and that can save you a little bit as well.
  • Driving Data Discount – Drivers who elect to allow driving data collection to scrutinize vehicle usage remotely like In-Drive from State Farm and Progressive’s Snapshot could possibly reduce rates as long as the data is positive.

As a footnote on discounts, some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. Some only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. So when the math indicates having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, that’s just not realistic. But all discounts will definitely lower your policy premiums.

A list of companies and a selection of discounts can be found below.

  • Esurance offers discounts for Switch & Save, paid-in-full, anti-lock brakes, safety device, emergency road assistance, multi-policy, and good student.
  • The Hartford policyholders can earn discounts including defensive driver, air bag, anti-theft, good student, bundle, and driver training.
  • AAA may have discounts that include AAA membership discount, pay-in-full, education and occupation, good student, and good driver.
  • Geico includes discounts for military active duty, daytime running lights, federal employee, air bags, defensive driver, and driver training.
  • State Farm has savings for Steer Clear safe driver discount, good driver, driver’s education, Drive Safe & Save, and passive restraint.

Before purchasing a policy, check with every insurance company how many discounts you can get. A few discounts might not apply in your area. If you would like to see a list of insurance companies with the best discounts, follow this link.

Tailor your car insurance coverage to you

When choosing coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Everyone’s needs are different.

These are some specific questions may help highlight if you could use an agent’s help.

  • Are there companies who specialize in insuring high-risk drivers?
  • Are my tools covered if they get stolen from my vehicle?
  • What is PIP insurance?
  • How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
  • Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • How do I insure my teen driver?
  • Should I buy only the required minimum liability coverage?
  • Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?

If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

Auto insurance coverage information

Knowing the specifics of insurance can help you determine which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses for chiropractic care, nursing services, EMT expenses and ambulance fees. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Auto collision coverage

This covers damage to your Expedition caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims like rolling your car, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as hail damage, rock chips in glass and theft. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Auto liability insurance

Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover 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 might see values of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical expenses, pain and suffering and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
