Searching for lower auto insurance rates for your Cadillac ATS Coupe? Are you regretting the purchase of an overpriced auto insurance policy? It’s quite common and many drivers have buyer’s remorse.
Companies like State Farm, Farmers Insurance, Geico and Allstate all claim big savings, bombarding you with fancy advertisements and it is difficult to avoid their marketing magic and effectively compare rates to find the best deal.
It is always a good idea to do rate comparisons before your policy renews since insurance prices change quite often. Even if you got the lowest rates for ATS Coupe coverage last year you can probably find a better rate quote now. Forget all the misinformation about auto insurance because you’re about to learn the best way to find great coverage at a great price.
If you are paying for car insurance now, you will be able to reduce your rates substantially using this information. Buying car insurance is not rocket science. But consumers must learn the methods companies use to compete online because it can help you find the best coverage.
Effectively comparing auto insurance prices can be a daunting task if you don’t utilize the best way to get rate quotes. You can waste a few hours (or days) discussing policy coverages with insurance agencies in your area, or you can utilize the web to maximize your effort.
Many popular insurance companies enroll in a system that allows shoppers to send in one quote, and every company returns a competitive quote for coverage. This eliminates the need for quote requests to each company.

The one disadvantage to using this type of system is you don’t know exactly the providers you want pricing from. So if you prefer to choose specific providers to compare rates, we have a page of low cost auto insurance companies in your area. Click here to view list.
The method you choose is up to you, but try to keep the exact same coverage information on every price quote you get. If the quotes have unequal deductibles or liability limits it will be very difficult to make a fair rate comparison. Just a small difference in limits could skew the results. Just keep in mind that making a lot of price comparisons helps you find lower pricing. Not every company provides online rate quotes, so you also need to get quotes from the smaller companies as well.
When it comes to choosing adequate coverage, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Each situation is unique and your policy should reflect that. Here are some questions about coverages that may help highlight if your insurance needs would benefit from an agent’s advice.
If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area.
Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as rock chips in glass, theft and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
This covers damage to your ATS Coupe from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against things such as sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
This provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses such as nursing services, chiropractic care, ambulance fees and hospital visits. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for claims like structural damage, loss of income, attorney fees and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Live in the eastern part of San Diego, CA. I got free rates from AAA, Sentry, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my Cadillac and saved $217 a year. I have a couple other vehicles on the policy. They offer free online rate quotes.

IT’S ALL TOO EXPENSIVE! I live south of Little Rock, AR. I got free quotes with GEICO, Esurance, and Hartford for my ATS Coupe and I think I am saving around $50 each month. Left Sentry to switch.
