Compare rates however you want, just ensure you are comparing exactly the same information for each price quote. If each company quotes different deductibles then you won’t be able to determine which rate is truly the best. Slightly different coverage limits could mean much higher rates. Just remember that comparing a large number of companies will enable you to find the best price. Not every company allows you to get quotes online, so it’s important to compare quotes on coverage from those companies, too.
Some insurance providers don’t always advertise every disount available very well, so the list below contains both well-publicized and the harder-to-find discounts that may be available. If you are not receiving all the discounts available, you are just wasting money.
Discounts save money, but please remember that some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. Most cut the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. Even though it appears all those discounts means the company will pay you, it just doesn’t work that way. But any discount will lower your car insurance premiums.
A few popular companies and a selection of discounts are shown below.
When comparing rates, check with each company to apply every possible discount. Some credits may not be available in your area. If you would like to see a list of car insurance companies offering car insurance discounts, click this link.

The best way to find cheaper insurance is to take a look at the different types of things that are used to determine insurance rates. If you know what influences your rates, this enables informed choices that can help you get cheaper rates.
The items below are a few of the things that factor into your premiums.
Companies like Progressive, Allstate and Geico endlessly run television, radio, and online ads. They all seem to make the promise that you can save if you switch your auto insurance coverage to their company. How is it possible that every company can make the same claim? Here is how they do it.
Insurance providers quote the lowest rates for the type of driver that will not have excessive claims. One example of a profitable customer might be described as over age 30, has no tickets, and has excellent credit. A propective insured who matches those parameters will get very good rates and will most likely cut their rates substantially.
Consumers who don’t meet this stringent profile will probably have to pay a more expensive rate and the prospect going elsewhere. If you pay attention, the ads say “drivers who switch” but not “everyone who gets a quote” save that much money. That is how insurance companies can state the savings. This illustrates why drivers must compare price quotes frequently. It’s just not possible to know which auto insurance company will provide you with the cheapest rates.
Knowing the specifics of auto insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Liability coverage
This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability insurance covers claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, structural damage and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Volkswagen New Beetle.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills such as X-ray expenses, funeral costs, nursing services, rehabilitation expenses and hospital visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Collision coverage protection
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers things like rolling your car, driving through your garage door and sideswiping another vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Comprehensive auto coverage
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, rock chips in glass and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
We just showed you a lot of techniques to get a better price on 2001 Volkswagen New Beetle insurance. The key thing to remember is the more rate quotes you have, the better your comparison will be. Drivers may discover the lowest rates come from a small mutual company.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, do not sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. Too many times, consumers will sacrifice collision coverage only to discover later that the savings was not a smart move. Your strategy should be to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford while not skimping on critical coverages.
Consumers change insurance companies for a number of reasons such as denial of a claim, high rates after DUI convictions, questionable increases in premium and lack of trust in their agent. It doesn’t matter what your reason, finding a new insurance coverage company is pretty simple and you could end up saving a buck or two.
