Buying car insurance is easy if you know what you’re doing. If you have car insurance now, you should be able to save some money using this information. But consumers can benefit by having an understanding of the way companies market insurance on the web and take advantage of how the system works.

How to buy auto insurance

There are multiple methods to compare auto insurance quotes, but some are less labor-intensive and much quicker. You can waste a few hours (or days) talking about coverages with agents in your area, or you could use the internet to get the quickest rates.

Most of the best insurance companies belong to a marketplace that allows shoppers to only type in their quote data once, and each participating company can provide price quotes determined by their information. This saves time by eliminating quote requests for each company you want a rate for.

The only drawback to doing it this way is buyers cannot specifically choose which providers you will receive quotes from. If you would rather choose from a list of companies to compare prices, we have a page of low cost auto insurance companies in your area. View list of insurance companies.

It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just make sure you are using apples-to-apples deductibles and coverage limits for every company. If you compare differing limits you can’t possibly determine the best price for your Isuzu Ascender. Even a minor difference in limits may cause a big price difference. It’s important to know that comparing more rates from different companies will increase your chances of finding a better price. Some regional insurers cannot provide online quotes, so it’s recommended that you also compare price quotes on coverage from those companies, too.

Car insurance policy discounts

The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but discounts can save money and there are some available to help bring down the price. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied at quote time, but less common discounts must be inquired about in order for you to get them. If you do not check that you are getting every discount available, you are paying more than you should be.

E-sign Discounts – A few insurance companies give back up to $50 for buying a policy and signing up online.
Save with a New Car – Buying insurance coverage on a new vehicle is cheaper since new model year vehicles have better safety ratings.
Bundled Policy Discount – If you have multiple policies and insure them with the same company you could earn a discount of up to 20% off your total premium.
Discounts for Responsible Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents could pay up to 40% less for Ascender coverage compared to accident prone drivers.
Seat Belts Save – Forcing all vehicle occupants to buckle up before driving could cut 10% or more off PIP or medical payments premium.

Remember that most discounts do not apply to the entire policy premium. Some only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. Just because you may think you could get a free car insurance policy, it just doesn’t work that way.

A list of companies and their offered discounts include:

State Farm may have discounts that include good driver, anti-theft, passive restraint, Steer Clear safe driver discount, and student away at school.

How do I know if I need professional advice?

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Each situation is unique.

For example, these questions may help you determine if you may require specific advice.

Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
Does my 2003 Isuzu Ascender qualify for pleasure use?
Is business equipment covered while in my vehicle?
Should I bundle my homeowners policy with my auto?
What exactly is covered by my policy?
Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
How high should my medical payments coverage be?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form.

Car insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

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 is very important.

Coverage for collisions

This pays for damage to your Ascender caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims such as hitting a parking meter, colliding with another moving vehicle and crashing into a building. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses for funeral costs, pain medications and doctor visits. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like vandalism, hail damage, damage from getting keyed and rock chips in glass. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, structural damage, emergency aid, bail bonds and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
