Searching for cheaper auto insurance rates for your Mazda MX-5 Miata? Car insurance shoppers not familiar with price shopping auto insurance online could find sourcing cheaper auto insurance is very challenging.
If you currently have a car insurance policy, you will most likely be able to cut costs considerably using this strategy. Shopping for cheaper insurance coverage is quite easy. But vehicle owners do need to understand the methods companies use to compete online and apply this information to your search.
The easiest way to compare rates is to know auto insurance companies will pay a fee to give you rate quotes. The only thing you need to do is provide details such as your education level, your occupation, driver details, and if you are currently licensed. That information is sent automatically to multiple different insurance companies and they provide comparison quotes instantly.
When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s needs are different.
For instance, these questions can help discover whether or not you may require specific advice.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form.
Learning about specific coverages of your car insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.
Liability car insurance – Liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability can pay for things like loss of income, medical expenses, funeral expenses, medical services and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.
Comprehensive insurance – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from flooding, rock chips in glass, damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a deer and fire damage. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Collision coverages – This coverage covers damage to your MX-5 Miata resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole and crashing into a building. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for hospital visits, funeral costs, prosthetic devices and ambulance fees. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

I got a good deal I think. Located in Bangor, Maine. Quoted quotes with MetLife, Eastwood, Allstate, and AIG Insurance for my MX-5 Miata and saved $225 a year. Left Travelers to switch. Moved home policy as well. Not sure if rates are cheaper online or through an agent.
