The method you choose is up to you, but compare identical quote information on every quote. If each company quotes unequal deductibles or liability limits you can’t possibly determine which rate is truly the best. Quoting even small variations in coverages may result in a large different in cost. It’s important to know that comparing more rates from different companies increases your odds of finding better pricing. Some smaller insurers to not give online rate quotes, so it’s necessary to compare price quotes from those companies as well.
Big name companies like Progressive, Geico, Allstate and State Farm regularly use ads on TV and radio. They all convey the message that you can save if you change your policy. How is it plausible that every one can have lower policy pricing? This is the trick they use.
Different companies are able to cherry pick for the type of insured that makes them money. A good example of a profitable risk profile may need to be between the ages of 30 and 45, carries full coverage, and has a high credit rating. Someone who meets those qualifications will get low car insurance rates and will save if they switch.
Consumers who are not a match for those standards must pay a more expensive rate and this can result in the customer buying from a different company. If you pay close attention to the ads, they say “customers who switch” but not “all drivers who get quotes” save that kind of money. That’s why insurance companies can confidently lure you into getting a quote. Because each company has a different risk profile, it is so important to compare as many free insurance coverage quotes as you can. You cannot predict which insurance company will provide you with the cheapest car insurance rates.
Auto insurance companies do not advertise all their discounts very well, so we researched both well-publicized and the harder-to-find ways to save on insurance coverage.
Discounts reduce rates, but you should keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. Some only reduce individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. So when it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, it just doesn’t work that way.
Some of the larger companies that may offer quotes with these benefits include:

Understanding the coverages of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Comprehensive auto coverage
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield and damage from flooding. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Liability auto insurance
Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. Liability 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 policy limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical expenses, pain and suffering and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Collision protection
Collision insurance pays for damage to your DeVille resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things such as crashing into a ditch, hitting a mailbox and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Cadillac DeVille.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses for things like dental work, funeral costs and ambulance fees. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
When getting insurance coverage quotes online, you should never buy less coverage just to save a little money. In many instances, drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage and learned later that it was a big mistake. Your goal is to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest cost, not the least amount of coverage.
Drivers change insurance companies for any number of reasons including extreme rates for teen drivers, questionable increases in premium, lack of trust in their agent and denial of a claim. No matter why you want to switch, switching companies can be easier than you think.
