If you have insurance now or need a new policy, you can use these techniques to get lower rates and still get good coverage. Shopping for affordable coverage can be fairly easy. Drivers just need to understand how to shop online.
Most larger insurance companies allow consumers to get insurance quotes direct online. This process is possible for anyone because you just enter your personal and coverage information on the page. After you complete the form, the system will order your driving and credit reports and provides a quote based on these and other factors.
Online price quotes simplifies rate comparisons, but the time required to go to several different sites and type in the same data can be a bit tiresome and repetitive. Unfortunately, it is important to compare as many rates as possible if you want to find the best price possible.

Companies don’t necessarily list every discount very well, so the following is a list of a few of the more common and also the lesser-known discounts that may be available. If you don’t get every credit available, it’s possible you qualify for a lower rate.
It’s important to note that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. So when the math indicates having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, that’s just not realistic. But any discount should help lower the cost of coverage.

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.
Medical expense coverage
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses for rehabilitation expenses, surgery, EMT expenses, doctor visits and ambulance fees. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Collision protection
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers things such as hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive protection
This covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass and falling objects. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Acura RL.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Liability
This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see values of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage protects against things such as medical services, funeral expenses, bail bonds and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy higher limits if possible.
