Compare car insurance price quotes online

There are several ways to obtain and compare prices from local car insurance companies. The best way to find competitive 1999 GMC Safari insurance rates consists of shopping online. This is very easy and can be done in a couple of different ways.

The fastest and easiest way to compare a lot of rates at once is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This quick form saves time by eliminating repetitive form submissions for every prospective company. One form submission gets insurance cost estimates from all major companies.

A harder way to analyze rates is spending the time to visit each company’s website to complete their respective quote request forms. For sake of this example, let’s say you want comparison quotes from Progressive, Esurance and Geico. To get each rate you have to spend time going to each site individually to input your insurance information, which explains why we recommend starting with the first method.

And when comparison shopping, comparing a large number of companies will enable you to find more affordable rates.

Insurance policy coverages for a GMC Safari

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverage types available from insurance companies.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as a broken windshield, hitting a bird, hitting a deer, fire damage and theft. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance covers damage to your Safari resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like rolling your car, backing into a parked car, hitting a mailbox and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your GMC Safari.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, hospital visits and funeral costs. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show values of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers claims such as pain and suffering, structural damage and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
