Are you tired of scraping nickels together to buy auto insurance? Your situation is no different than millions of other consumers. Big companies like State Farm and Geico all promote huge savings with ad campaigns and consumers find it hard to ignore the flashy ads and find the best price available.
It’s smart to quote other rates as often as possible because insurance rates are adjusted regularly by insurance companies. Just because you found the best deal for Town Car coverage on your last policy a different company probably has better prices today. You’ll find a ton of advice on auto insurance on the internet, but in this article, you’re going to get some of the best techniques to slash your auto insurance rates.
Insurance is neither fun to buy or cheap, but you might find some hidden discounts that can help lower your rates. Certain reductions will be credited when you complete an application, but a few must be manually applied before they will apply.
Policy discounts save money, but many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only reduce individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. Even though it may seem like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it doesn’t quite work that way. Any qualifying discounts should help reduce your policy premium.
Larger insurance companies and their possible discounts are shown below.

Having a good grasp of car insurance aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverages available from car insurance companies.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This coverage 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 such as fire damage, rock chips in glass, hitting a deer, falling objects and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Auto liability insurance – Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage protects against claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, funeral expenses, loss of income and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.
Collision coverage – This coverage pays for damage to your Town Car from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a ditch and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses like pain medications, nursing services, hospital visits, doctor visits and funeral costs. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Lincoln Town Car.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.
Cheaper insurance coverage is available online as well as from insurance agents, so get free insurance coverage quotes from both of them to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance providers do not provide price quotes online and most of the time these smaller companies provide coverage only through independent insurance agents.
When searching for cheap insurance coverage quotes, you should never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There have been many cases where someone sacrificed liability limits or collision coverage and found out when filing a claim that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your aim should be to find the BEST coverage at the best possible price and still be able to protect your assets.
