Buying car insurance is not rocket science. If you have car insurance now, you will be able to save some money using this information. Drivers just need to know the best way to compare company rates on the web.
There are a variety of methods to compare insurance prices but some are less time-consuming than others. You can waste hours discussing policy coverages with insurance companies in your area, or you could save time and use the internet to achieve your goal.
Most of the best insurance companies are enrolled in a marketplace where prospective buyers enter their policy data once, and every company then returns a price quote based on that information. This system prevents you from having to do quotation requests for each company.

It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just try to keep nearly identical coverages with each company. If your comparisons have different deductibles it will be nearly impossible to truly determine the lowest rate.
Buying car insurance is not cheap, but you might find some hidden discounts that can drop the cost substantially. Some discounts will apply at quote time, but some must be inquired about prior to getting the savings.
Remember that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Most cut specific coverage prices like collision or personal injury protection. So when it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you’re out of luck.

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.
Auto liability insurance – Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds, medical services and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage 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 coverage protects against things such as crashing into a ditch, rolling your car and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses for things like pain medications, rehabilitation expenses and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Chevy Astro.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism and falling objects. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
