The only downside to using this type of form is that consumers can’t choose which providers you will receive quotes from. If you wish to select from a list of companies to receive pricing from, we have assembled a list of low cost insurance companies in your area. View list of insurance companies.
It’s up to you which method you use, but double check that you are using identical information with every price quote. If each company quotes different deductibles it’s not possible to determine which rate is truly the best. Just a small difference in insurance coverages may result in large price differences. Just remember that comparing more quotes will improve the odds of getting a lower rate. Some regional insurers cannot provide online price quotes, so you should also compare price quotes on coverage from those companies, too.
When choosing the best insurance coverage, there isn’t really a perfect coverage plan. Each situation is unique and your policy should reflect that. Here are some questions about coverages that may help highlight whether you would benefit from an agent’s advice.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form or go to this page to view a list of companies.
Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the normal coverages available from insurance companies.
This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hitting a bird, damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane, falling objects and theft. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for claims such as hitting a mailbox, hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills like doctor visits, EMT expenses, dental work and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Usually these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage protects against things like emergency aid, medical expenses, legal defense fees, court costs and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

I was with Liberty Mutual last year but switched to Progressive. Located in Owensboro, KY. Was with Esurance. I even had a DUI years ago. It’s still not cheap enough.
