Lower rates by qualifying for discounts

Companies don’t list all their discounts in an easy-to-find place, so the list below details some of the best known as well as the least known savings tricks you should be using when you buy insurance coverage online.

  • Driver Safety – Taking a course teaching defensive driver skills could possibly earn you a 5% discount and easily pay for the cost of the class.
  • Early Switch Discount – A few insurance companies give discounts for renewing your policy prior to your current policy expiring. The savings is around 10%.
  • Data Collection Discounts – Drivers who agree to allow their insurance company to analyze driving manner by using a small device installed in their vehicle like In-Drive from State Farm and Progressive’s Snapshot could possibly reduce rates as long as the data is positive.
  • Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Factory air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems may qualify for discounts of 20 to 30 percent.
  • Auto/Life Discount – Not all insurance companies offer life insurance, but some may give you a small discount if you purchase a life policy as well.

It’s important to understand that most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only apply to individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though it sounds like it’s possible to get free car insurance, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business.

How to compare free insurance coverage quotes

Most of the larger companies allow consumers to get coverage prices on their websites. Comparing prices online is fairly simple as you simply enter the coverage amounts you desire into the form. Once entered, their quoting system pulls your credit score and driving record and returns pricing information based on the information you submitted. Online price estimates makes it simple to compare prices but having to visit different websites and fill out multiple forms is a big time waster. But it’s absolutely necessary to have as many quotes as possible if you want to get the lowest price.

An easier way to locate the lowest prices requires only one form to return rates from multiple companies. The form is fast, helps eliminate reptitive entry, and makes online quotes much more enjoyable and efficient. As soon as the form is sent, it gets priced with multiple companies and you can pick any of the price quotes you receive.

If a lower price is quoted, it’s easy to complete the application and buy the policy. This process takes less than 15 minutes and you’ll know if lower rates are available.

Insurance coverage is unique, just like you

When buying adequate coverage, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Every situation is different so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine if you could use an agent’s help.

  • What is high-risk coverage and where do I buy it?
  • Do I pay less for low miles?
  • What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?
  • How much underlying liability do I need for an umbrella policy?
  • Do I have any recourse if my insurance company denies a claim?
  • Is my teenager covered with friends in the car?
  • Do I need motorclub coverage?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Information about specific coverages

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are typical coverages offered by insurance companies.

Collision coverage – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Coupe from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like backing into a parked car, rolling your car, sideswiping another vehicle, damaging your car on a curb and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive protection – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like fire damage, hitting a deer and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability insurance – Liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers things such as structural damage, bail bonds, legal defense fees and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical expense coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills like EMT expenses, doctor visits and pain medications. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

A few companies do not offer the ability to get a quote online and many times these smaller companies only sell coverage through local independent agents.

We just covered quite a bit of information on how to get a better price on 2002 Maserati Coupe insurance.
