How Much Does 2017 Land Rover Discovery Insurance Cost?

I can’t think of a single person who likes having to buy insurance, especially when they are aware that they could find better rates elsewhere.

Companies like State Farm, Geico and Farmers Insurance continually hit you with catchy ads and consumers find it hard to not get sucked in by the cute commercials and take the time to shop coverage around.

Compare quotes for auto insurance

All major auto insurance companies like State Farm and Allstate provide coverage prices from their websites. Comparing rates online is fairly simple as you just enter your coverage preferences on the page. After you complete the form, the quote system requests your driving record and credit report and returns a price quote. Online price estimates helps simplify price comparisons, but the work required to visit a lot of sites and complete many quote forms is a waste of time. Unfortunately, it is important to do this in order to get better auto insurance pricing.

The easy way to compare rates

A less time-consuming method to lower your rates utilizes a single form that obtains quotes from multiple companies. The form is fast, helps eliminate reptitive entry, and makes price shopping online a little more enjoyable. As soon as the form is sent, it gets priced with multiple companies and you can pick any of the quotes that you receive.

If you find a better price it’s easy to complete the application and buy the new coverage. The entire process can be completed in less than 10 minutes and you will know how your current rates stack up.

Can you really save $394 a year?

State Farm and Allstate endlessly run television, radio, and online ads. All the companies try to convey promises about savings if you change your policy. That’s great but how can every company lower your car insurance rates?

Insurance companies have a preferred profile for the right customer that will add to their bottom line. For example, a profitable insured could possibly be a married male, has had continuous coverage, and drives less than 7,500 miles a year. A driver who fits that profile receive the lowest rate quotes and therefore will cut their rates substantially.

Drivers who are not a match for the requirements will get a higher premium with the end result being the customer buying from a different company. The wording the ads use say “customers who switch” not “everyone that quotes” save that much money. This is how insurance companies can confidently make claims like that.

Because of this risk profiling, it’s extremely important to get car insurance quotes from several different companies. It is impossible to guess the company that will provide the lowest car insurance rates.

Get lower-cost car insurance with discounts

Car insurance is easily one of your largest bills, but discounts can save money and there are some available that could drop your premiums quite a bit. Some of these disounts will be visible at the time of purchase, but some discounts are required to be requested specifically prior to getting the savings. If you check and find you aren’t receiving every discount you qualify for, you’re just leaving money on the table.

  • Auto/Home Discount – If you can combine your homeowners and auto policy and place coverage with the same company you may save up to 20% off your total premium.
  • Discounts for Safe Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents can pay as much as 50% less on Discovery coverage than their less cautious counterparts.
  • Seat Belt Usage – Drivers who require all occupants to use their safety belts may be able to save a few bucks off PIP or medical payments premium.
  • Switch and Save Discount – Some car insurance companies provide a discount for switching companies before your current policy expires. This can save 10% or more.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Being on active duty in the military may lower your premium rates slightly.

One thing to note about discounts is that most of the big mark downs will not be given the the whole policy. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. So when the math indicates you could get a free car insurance policy, company stockholders wouldn’t be very happy.

Some companies that may offer most of the discounts above include:

When comparing rates, check with each insurance company which discounts you qualify for. A few discounts might not apply in your area. If you would like to see a list of car insurance companies with discount car insurance rates, click this link.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When choosing coverage, there really is no “perfect” insurance plan. Every situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. Here are some questions about coverages that may help highlight if your situation would benefit from professional advice.

  • Does my 2017 Land Rover Discovery qualify for pleasure use?
  • What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
  • When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
  • Do I need motorclub coverage?
  • Are my friends covered when driving my 2017 Land Rover Discovery?
  • Is my Land Rover Discovery covered if I use it for business?
  • Do I need rental car coverage?

If you’re not sure about those questions then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Auto insurance coverages

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the usual coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Land Rover Discovery.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Usually these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for claims like medical expenses, legal defense fees, repair costs for stationary objects, loss of income and medical services. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims such as rolling your car, hitting a mailbox and sideswiping another vehicle. 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 bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like hitting a bird, rock chips in glass, falling objects and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses for rehabilitation expenses, X-ray expenses, ambulance fees, pain medications and surgery. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

The best insurance company isn’t always the cheapest

We’ve covered a lot of ways to get a better price on 2017 Land Rover Discovery insurance. The key concept to understand is the more you quote car insurance, the better likelihood of getting cheap car insurance. Consumers may even find the best rates are with some of the smallest insurance companies. They may often insure only within specific states and give getter rates compared to the large companies like Allstate or State Farm.

When you buy car insurance online, never buy less coverage just to save a little money. In many cases, an insured dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits and found out when filing a claim that it was a big error on their part. The proper strategy is to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest cost while not skimping on critical coverages.
