The items below are a few of the “ingredients” used by companies to determine your premiums.
When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage, there is no single plan that fits everyone. Every situation is different.
For instance, these questions may help highlight if you would benefit from an agent’s advice.
If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form. It’s fast, free and can provide invaluable advice.
Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Car insurance terms can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Fit caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for things such as backing into a parked car, colliding with a tree, crashing into a building and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses for prosthetic devices, X-ray expenses, ambulance fees, hospital visits and pain medications. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees, bail bonds and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.
This covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from getting keyed, vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hail damage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
More affordable insurance is available from both online companies as well as from independent agents, so you need to quote auto insurance with both to have the best selection. A few companies may not provide online rate quotes and usually these regional insurance providers work with independent agencies.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s not a good idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. Too many times, an insured cut full coverage only to regret at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your objective should be to purchase plenty of coverage for the lowest cost, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.

It’s most important to understand that the more companies you get prices for, the higher your chance of finding low cost auto insurance.
