Drivers have a choice when trying to find low-cost Acura Legend insurance. They can either spend hours driving around trying to get quotes or use the internet to find the lowest rates.
There is a right way and a wrong way to shop for car insurance and you need to know the absolute fastest way to quote coverages for your Acura and find the lowest price.
You need to check car insurance prices once or twice a year since insurance prices tend to go up over time. If you had the lowest rates on Legend coverage on your last policy there may be better deals available now. You’ll find quite a bit of inaccurate information about car insurance online, but we’re going to give you the best ways to find affordable car insurance.
There are a lot of ways you can shop for insurance coverage but there is one way that is easier and takes less work. You can waste a few hours (or days) talking to insurance agencies in your area, or you can utilize online quotes to maximize your effort.
Most car insurance companies belong to a marketplace that enables customers to only type in their quote data once, and every company returns a competitive quote determined by their information. This system prevents you from having to do quote requests to every company.

The only drawback to using this type of form is you can’t choose the providers to get pricing from. So if you prefer to pick individual companies to compare, we have assembled a list of insurance coverage companies in your area. Click to view list.
Whichever way you use, try to use equivalent deductibles and coverage limits on every quote you get. If you use different coverage information it will be nearly impossible to find the best deal for your Acura Legend.
Car insurance is not an enjoyable expense, but there’s a good chance there are discounts that you may not know about. Many of these discounts will be applied automatically at the time you complete a quote, but a few must be inquired about before being credited. If you’re not getting every credit you deserve, you are not getting the best rate possible.
It’s important to understand that some credits don’t apply to the entire policy premium. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision. Just because it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, nobody gets a free ride. But all discounts will help reduce the premium cost.
A few companies who might offer most of these discounts may include but are not limited to:
When comparing rates, check with every prospective company which discounts you qualify for. Savings might not be available to policyholders in your area.
When choosing the right insurance coverage, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s needs are different.
For instance, these questions may help you determine if you might need professional guidance.
If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.
Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Auto liability
This protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers things such as structural damage, funeral expenses, medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.
Comprehensive insurance
This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like falling objects, vandalism and theft. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses for things like surgery, rehabilitation expenses, funeral costs and prosthetic devices. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
Collision protection
Collision coverage pays for damage to your Legend resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things like sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a parking meter and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
