How much is insurance?

There are several ways to shop for insurance, and some are less labor-intensive and much quicker. You can spend countless hours talking about coverages with insurance agencies in your area, or you can stay home and use the web to get rates in a matter of minutes.

The majority of car insurance companies belong to an insurance system where prospective buyers enter their coverage request one time, and each participating company then gives them pricing for coverage. This prevents consumers from doing repetitive form submissions for every insurance company.

It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just double check that you are using equivalent information on every price quote you get. If you have differing limits it’s impossible to truly determine the lowest rate. Having just a slight variation in insurance coverages or limits may result in a large different in cost. Keep in mind that comparing more rates from different companies will enable you to find the best rates. Not every company does online price quotes, so you should also compare price quotes from them as well.

What insurance coverages do I need?

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining whether or not you might need an agent’s assistance.

  • Is rental equipment covered for theft or damage?
  • Which is better, split liability limits or combined limits?
  • Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
  • Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?
  • Does my 1994 Mazda MPV need full coverage?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with an agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form.

Auto insurance coverage information

Learning about specific coverages of a auto insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from 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 things like rock chips in glass, vandalism, a broken windshield and damage from flooding. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Collision – This coverage pays for damage to your MPV resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as backing into a parked car, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a building and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Mazda MPV.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Coverage for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses like doctor visits, prosthetic devices, dental work, surgery and funeral costs. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability – Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against things such as medical services, emergency aid, medical expenses and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.
