Trying to find lower insurance rates for your Chrysler 300? Are you regretting the purchase of overpriced insurance? Don’t feel bad because many consumers are in the same pinch. Many car insurance companies compete for your business, so it’s not easy to compare every insurance company and get the definite best rate
It’s a good idea to quote other rates on a regular basis because prices are variable and change quite frequently. If you had the lowest rates on 300 insurance a few years ago you may be paying too much now. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about insurance because you’re going to get a crash course in the proper way to lower your annual insurance bill.
Companies offering auto insurance don’t always publicize every policy discount very well, so we took the time to find both the well known and the more hidden discounts that you can inquire about if you buy insurance coverage online.
One last thing about discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. Even though the math looks like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won’t be that lucky.
Large car insurance companies and some of the discounts are:
Check with every prospective company to give you their best rates. Some discounts listed above might not be available to policyholders in your area.
When it comes to buying coverage, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether you would benefit from an agent’s advice.
If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It only takes a few minutes and may give you better protection.
Knowing the specifics of your policy can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are the normal coverages found on most car insurance policies.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Chrysler 300.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Coverage for liability
Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability can pay for claims such as attorney fees, emergency aid and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses for things like nursing services, chiropractic care, prosthetic devices and surgery. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed, a broken windshield, rock chips in glass and theft. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Collision coverage protection
This coverage covers damage to your 300 resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a ditch, backing into a parked car and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
We just showed you a lot of ways to shop for 2018 Chrysler 300 insurance online. The most important thing to understand is the more companies you get premium rates for, the better likelihood of getting affordable insurance coverage. You may even find the best price on car insurance is with some of the lesser-known companies. These companies may only write in your state and offer lower premium rates compared to the large companies like Allstate and Progressive.
Cheaper 2018 Chrysler 300 insurance can be found on the web in addition to local insurance agencies, and you should compare rates from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who do not offer the ability to get a quote online and usually these regional insurance providers only sell coverage through independent agencies.
When getting insurance coverage quotes online, it’s a bad idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. In many instances, consumers will sacrifice comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to discover later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your strategy should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the best price, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.

Cheap is not always the best policy. I live just outside Kansas City, MO. I don’t recall every quote but I ended up saving about $40 each month. Left American Family to switch. Good multi-policy discounts. Still almost need a second mortgage.

Like your site, BTW. From northwest of Phoenix, AZ. I quoted with Western Auto Insurance, Auto-Owners, Liberty Mutual, and Safeco for my 2018 Chrysler 300 and saved just over $450 a year. I have several vehicles insured with them. Highly recommended.
