How you compare quotes is your choice, just make darn sure you compare identical coverage limits and deductibles for each quote you get. If you are comparing mixed coverages then you won’t be able to determine the best price for your Nissan Quest. Just slight variations in coverages may result in large price differences. And when price shopping your coverage, obtaining a wide range of quotes helps you find the best offered rates. Some insurance companies are not set up to provide price estimates online, so you need to compare price estimates from those companies as well.
Insurance coverage is neither fun to buy or cheap, but you may be missing some discounts that could drop your premiums quite a bit. Many of these discounts will be applied automatically at the time of purchase, but a few must be manually applied before being credited. If you’re not getting every credit you deserve, you are just wasting money.
A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire cost. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. Even though it may seem like it’s possible to get free car insurance, companies don’t profit that way.

When buying coverage, there is no cookie cutter policy. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.
For instance, these questions can help discover if your situation may require specific advice.
If you’re not sure about those questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form.
Having a good grasp of insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
This pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like hail damage, a broken windshield, damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass and vandalism. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Liability insurance protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage protects against things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income, structural damage, medical expenses and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses for things like EMT expenses, rehabilitation expenses, surgery and nursing services. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
This pays for damage to your Quest from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for claims like backing into a parked car, scraping a guard rail, rolling your car and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
This gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Nissan Quest.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.
