1999 Nissan Quest Insurance Rates

Trying to find cheaper insurance rates for your Nissan Quest? I really doubt anyone rejoices having to buy insurance, especially when they are aware that their premiums are too high.

Companies like Allstate, Progressive and Geico persitently shower you with catchy ads and consumers find it hard to separate fact from fiction and effectively compare rates to find the best deal.

If you have car insurance now, you will be able to lower your premiums substantially using these techniques. Finding the best rates is easy if you know what you’re doing. Although car owners need to have an understanding of how the larger insurance companies sell insurance online.

First Step: Get free auto insurance quotes

There are several ways to get quotes from different insurance companies. The easiest way to compare 1999 Nissan Quest insurance prices is to get quotes online. It is quite easy and can be accomplished by using one of the methods below.

  1. The most recommended method to get quotes is a comparison rater form (click to open form in new window). This easy form saves time by eliminating separate forms for each price estimate. A single form gets insurance cost estimates from multiple low-cost companies.
  2. A slightly less efficient method to get comparison quotes is going to the website of each company and fill out a new quote form. For sake of this example, let’s say you want to see prices from Farmers, State Farm and Travelers. In order to compare rates, you need to spend time on each company’s site and type in your information over and over, which explains why we recommend starting with the first method.

How you compare quotes is your choice, just ensure you are comparing nearly identical deductibles and coverage limits for each quote you get. If you are comparing differing limits it will be very difficult to decipher which rate is best. Slightly different coverage limits can result in a big premium difference. Just remember that comparing more company’s prices helps locate the best price.

More affordable rates by taking advantage of discounts

Some companies don’t list the complete list of policy discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the list below details a few of the more well known and the more hidden car insurance savings.

  • Active Service Discounts – Being on active deployment in the military could qualify you for better premium rates.
  • E-sign Discounts – A few larger online companies will give a small break get auto insurance on their website.
  • Theft Prevention System – Vehicles that have factory alarm systems and tracking devices can help prevent theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Government Employee Discount – Federal government employees could cut as much as 10% off for Quest coverage with select insurance companies.
  • College Student Discount – Children who are enrolled in a college that is more than 100 miles from home and won’t have access to an insured vehicle may be insured at a cheaper rate.
  • Accident Forgiveness – but companies like Allstate, Progressive, and Geico allow you one accident before they charge you more for coverage with the catch being you have to be claim-free for a particular time prior to the accident.

Consumers should know that most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. Even though the math looks like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won’t be that lucky.

Large car insurance companies and some of the premium reductions they offer can be read below.

  • AAA has savings for good driver, multi-car, education and occupation, multi-policy, and AAA membership discount.
  • Progressive may offer discounts for good student, online quote discount, online signing, multi-vehicle, continuous coverage, multi-policy, and homeowner.
  • State Farm offers discounts for Steer Clear safe driver discount, good student, good driver, passive restraint, Drive Safe & Save, accident-free, and multiple policy.
  • Esurance offers discounts including DriveSense, defensive driver, homeowner, multi-policy, good student, and good driver.
  • Nationwide includes discounts for easy pay, accident-free, family plan, business or organization, good student, and defensive driving.

If you are trying to find affordable auto insurance quotes, ask every company which discounts you may be entitled to. All car insurance discounts may not apply to policies in your area. If you would like to choose from a list of providers with the best car insurance discounts, click here.

How much insurance do I need?

When it comes to choosing the best insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a cookie cutter policy. Everyone’s needs are different so your insurance needs to address that. For example, these questions could help you determine if you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Do I need motorclub coverage?
  • When should I drop full coverage on my 1999 Nissan Quest?
  • Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
  • Does coverage extend to a rental car in a foreign country?
  • How much can I save by bundling my policies?
  • Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Insurance policy coverages for a 1999 Nissan Quest

Having a good grasp of insurance helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverages found on most insurance policies.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as fire damage, vandalism, damage from flooding, hitting a deer and rock chips in glass. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your Quest caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability auto insurance

This protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for claims like bail bonds, structural damage and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for funeral costs, ambulance fees and hospital visits. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

UM/UIM Coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Nissan Quest.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
