First Step: Get free insurance quotes

There are a lot of ways you can shop for insurance but there is one way that is less time-consuming than others. You could waste a few hours talking about coverages with agents in your area, or you can stay home and use online quotes to get pricing more quickly.

All the larger companies participate in an industry program where insurance shoppers enter their policy data once, and each participating company then returns a price quote based on that information. This eliminates the need for quote forms for each company you want a rate for.

One minor caviat to comparing rates this way is you can’t choose the providers to get pricing from. If you prefer to choose individual companies to request quotes from, we put together a list of companies who write insurance in your area. View list of insurance companies.

Whichever way you choose to compare rates, be sure you’re using the same quote information on every quote you get. If you are comparing different data it’s not possible to truly determine the lowest rate. Even a minor difference in insurance coverages or limits can make a big difference in price. And when comparison shopping, obtaining a wide range of quotes helps locate a lower rate than you’re paying now.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When choosing the best insurance coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

Here are some questions about coverages that may help highlight whether or not you might need professional guidance.

  • Can I rent a car in Mexico?
  • Should I get collision insurance on every vehicle?
  • Do I benefit by insuring my home with the same company?
  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • Do I need more liability coverage?
  • Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
  • Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
  • Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
  • How can I get my company to pay me more for my totalled car?
  • Am I getting all the discounts available?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form.

Car insurance coverage breakdown

Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like hitting a bird, falling objects and theft. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills like X-ray expenses, ambulance fees, doctor visits and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Coverage for liability

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

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against things like medical expenses, legal defense fees, bail bonds and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision insurance

This coverage pays for damage to your B9 Tribeca resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things like sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a mailbox and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
