2007 Nissan Quest Car Insurance Quotes – 8 Tips for Cheapest Rates

Want better insurance rates for your Nissan Quest? Trying to come up with a payment for expensive insurance can deplete your family’s budget and force you to tighten up your finances. Performing a price comparison is a smart way to lower your bills every month.

Drivers have many auto insurance companies to buy insurance from, and though it is a good thing to have multiple companies, too many choices makes it more difficult to find the best rates.

Pricing more affordable auto insurance coverage is not that difficult. Essentially everyone who has to buy auto insurance will be able to save money. Although drivers need to learn the way companies price insurance differently and use this information to your advantage.

Auto insurance quotes and discounts

Not many people think insurance is cheap, but you might be missing out on some discounts that may help make it more affordable. Most are applied when you purchase, but lesser-known reductions have to be specially asked for before being credited.

  • Save with a New Car – Adding a new car to your policy can cost up to 25% less compared to insuring an older model.
  • Air Bag Discount – Vehicles with factory air bags or automatic seat belts may get savings of 20% or more.
  • Senior Citizen Discount – Drivers that qualify as senior citizens could receive lower premium rates on Quest coverage.
  • Onboard Data Collection – Drivers who elect to allow their insurance company to monitor driving habits by using a small device installed in their vehicle such as Progressive’s Snapshot and State Farm’s In-Drive may see discounts if they exhibit good driving behavior.
  • Theft Prevention System – Vehicles that have factory alarm systems and tracking devices have a lower chance of being stolen and can earn a small discount on your policy.
  • Federal Employees – Simply working for the federal government can earn a discount up to 10% on Quest coverage with a few auto insurance companies.
  • Drive Safe and Save – Drivers who avoid accidents can save up to 40% or more on their auto insurance quote on Quest coverage compared to rates paid by drivers with frequent claims.
  • Resident Student – College-age children who are enrolled in higher education away from home and leave their car at home can receive lower rates.

You should keep in mind that many deductions do not apply the the whole policy. Most cut individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

A list of companies and the discounts they provide are:

  • Geico has discounts for seat belt use, emergency military deployment, air bags, federal employee, and military active duty.
  • Travelers offers discounts including save driver, IntelliDrive, new car, good student, early quote, and student away at school.
  • Nationwide includes discounts for anti-theft, easy pay, defensive driving, accident-free, Farm Bureau membership, and good student.
  • Farmers Insurance discounts include switch companies, business and professional, good student, alternative fuel, and electronic funds transfer.
  • Esurance may include discounts for Switch & Save, emergency road assistance, good student, defensive driver, and claim free.
  • State Farm offers premium reductions for good student, multiple policy, accident-free, safe vehicle, good driver, and passive restraint.
  • Progressive has savings for good student, continuous coverage, multi-policy, online quote discount, and online signing.
  • Mercury Insurance may have discounts that include age of vehicle, location of vehicle, accident-free, multi-car, and type of vehicle.

It’s a good idea to ask every prospective company which credits you are entitled to. Some credits may not apply in your area. To see auto insurance companies that offer discounts, click here to view.

Situations that may require an agent’s advice

When it comes to choosing coverage, there is no cookie cutter policy. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For instance, these questions can help discover if your situation might need professional guidance.

  • Is my teen driver covered when they drive my company car?
  • How much liability do I need to cover my assets?
  • Exactly who is provided coverage by my policy?
  • Should I file a claim if it’s only slightly more than my deductible?
  • When should I drop full coverage on my 2007 Nissan Quest?
  • Is my Nissan Quest covered if I use it for business?
  • What if I don’t agree with a claim settlement offer?
  • When do I need to add a new car to my policy?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

The coverage is in the details

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Car insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are typical coverages found on most car insurance policies.

Liability

Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against things like medical services, funeral expenses and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things like vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from flooding. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims like colliding with a tree, colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2007 Nissan Quest.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Usually these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like prosthetic devices, chiropractic care, X-ray expenses, pain medications and hospital visits. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Best coverage at the best price

As you prepare to switch companies, make sure you don’t buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There have been many cases where drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage to discover at claim time that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your goal should be to buy a smart amount of coverage for the lowest cost, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.

Lower-priced insurance can be sourced online and from local agencies, so you should be comparing quotes from both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance providers do not offer online rate quotes and most of the time these regional carriers provide coverage only through local independent agents.
