There isn’t a single person who looks forward to buying insurance, especially when it costs too dang much.
You have so many insurance companies to pick from, and even though it’s nice to have multiple companies, too many choices makes it more difficult to compare company pricing.
Pricing the best coverage is easy if you know what you’re doing. Basically, anyone who is shopping for insurance will be able to find better rates. But car owners do need to know how big insurance companies market insurance on the web.
Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but discounts can save money and there are some available that many consumers don’t even know exist. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically when you quote, but a few must be asked for before being credited.
A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So when the math indicates all the discounts add up to a free policy, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business.
A partial list of companies who might offer some of the above discounts may include but are not limited to:
When quoting, ask all the companies which credits you are entitled to. Some discounts may not apply to policies in your area. To see auto insurance companies offering auto insurance discounts, click here.

Knowing the specifics of auto insurance helps when 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 offered by auto insurance companies.
Coverage for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills such as chiropractic care, ambulance fees, EMT expenses and pain medications. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP 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 coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Comprehensive coverages – This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things such as vandalism, a broken windshield and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Uninsured and underinsured coverage – This gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Collision coverage – Collision insurance covers damage to your Titan resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things like driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail, sideswiping another vehicle and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Liability coverage – Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against claims like medical services, repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
