How much is car insurance?

The majority of larger companies such as Progressive, Geico, Allstate and State Farm allow you to get coverage price quotes on their websites. Getting quotes doesn’t take a lot of time because you just enter the amount of coverage you want as detailed in the form. Once you submit the form, the system will obtain your credit score and driving record and returns a price quote. Quoting online streamlines rate comparisons, but the work required to visit many different websites and type in the same information is repetitive and time-consuming.

Will just any policy work for me?

When buying the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Everyone’s situation is unique so this has to be addressed.

What are the best liability limits?
Do I need more liability coverage?
Is upholstery damage covered by car insurance?
Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
Should I sign the liability waiver when renting a car?
When do I need to add a new car to my policy?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Specific coverages for a 1997 Chevy C/K 1500 Series

Having a good grasp of your policy can help you determine the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like pain medications, nursing services, hospital visits and surgery. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your C/K 1500 Series from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims like damaging your car on a curb, colliding with a tree and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage

This will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hitting a deer, a broken windshield, damage from a tornado or hurricane and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Chevy C/K 1500 Series.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Liability coverages

Liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage protects against claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, pain and suffering, legal defense fees and medical services. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
