Whichever way you choose to compare rates, be certain you are entering the exact same coverage limits and deductibles on every quote. If the quotes have higher or lower deductibles it’s not possible to make a fair comparison for your Ford F-350.

Get lower-cost insurance with discounts

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but discounts can save money and there are some available to help bring down the price. A few discounts will automatically apply when you quote, but some discounts are required to be manually applied prior to receiving the credit.

• Discounts for Multiple Vehicles – Drivers who insure several vehicles on a single policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
• Braking Control Discount – Cars, trucks, and SUVs with anti-lock braking systems have fewer accidents so companies give up to a 10% discount.
• Student Driver Training – It’s a good idea to have your young drivers enroll and complete driver’s education in school.
• Accident Free – Insureds with no claims or accidents can earn big discounts as opposed to frequent claim filers.
• Paperwork-free – Many insurance companies may give you up to $50 for signing up digitally online.

Remember that some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. Most only cut individual premiums such as comp or med pay. Despite the appearance that adding up those discounts means a free policy, you aren’t that lucky.

Insurance specifics

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are the normal coverages available from insurance companies.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Ford F-350.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 which means a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for claims like funeral expenses, emergency aid, pain and suffering and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

This will pay to fix damage to your F-350 from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as crashing into a ditch, colliding with a tree, damaging your car on a curb, backing into a parked car and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Coverage for medical expenses

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as pain medications, ambulance fees and chiropractic care. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as theft, hitting a deer, hitting a bird and fire damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
