Insurance quotes comparison

Cutting your insurance rates isn’t really that difficult. The only thing you need to do is spend a little time to compare rate quotes online with multiple companies. This can easily be done in several different ways.

  1. The recommended way to get the best comparison quotes is an all-inclusive rate comparison click to view form in new window. This quick form saves time by eliminating multiple quote forms for every company. Just one form gets prices estimates instantly.It’s the quickest way to get rates.
  2. A harder way to compare rate quotes is spending the time to visit the website of each company and fill out their own quote form.

In order to compare rates, you need to visit each site and repeatedly type in your coverage information, which can get old fast.

  3. The least efficient and most time consuming way to find lower rates is to spend your day driving to local insurance agencies. Comparing rate quotes online has made agencies unnecessary unless you have a need for the professional assistance that only a licensed agent can provide. Drivers can obtain prices from the web but have your policy serviced through an agent.

Compare rates however you want, just compare apples-to-apples coverage data for each comparison quote. If each company quotes different data it will be very difficult to make a fair comparison for your Toyota Camry Hybrid.

Six discounts for lower-cost car insurance rates

Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but you may be missing some discounts that you may not even know about. A few discounts will be applied at quote time, but less common discounts must be requested specifically in order for you to get them.

  • Bundle and Save – If you insure your home and vehicles with one insurance company you may save up to 20% off your total premium.
  • Military Discounts – Being deployed with a military unit could trigger a small discount.
  • Telematics Discount – Drivers who elect to allow companies to spy on when and where they use their vehicle through the use of a telematics system like In-Drive from State Farm and Progressive’s Snapshot may get a rate reduction as long as the data is positive.
  • Club Memberships – Being in a qualifying organization is a simple method to lower premiums when getting a car insurance quote.
  • Anti-lock Brake System – Cars and trucks that have steering control and anti-lock brakes can avoid accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Payment Method – By making one initial payment rather than paying monthly you can actually save on your bill.

One last thing about discounts, most discounts do not apply to the entire cost. Most only apply to individual premiums such as comprehensive or collision. So even though it sounds like you could get a free car insurance policy, you won’t be that lucky.

A list of car insurance companies and some of the premium reductions they offer are shown below.

  • Geico may offer discounts for good student, air bags, military active duty, five-year accident-free, multi-policy, seat belt use, and federal employee.

You may need specialized auto insurance coverage

When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage, there really is no best way to insure your cars. Everyone’s needs are different.

For instance, these questions can help discover whether you might need professional guidance.

  • Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
  • Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
  • If I drive on a suspended license am I covered?
  • Can I afford low physical damage deductibles?
  • Do I have coverage when making deliveries for my home business?
  • Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
  • How much liability do I need to cover my assets?
  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
  • How do I buy GAP insurance?
  • Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid is totaled?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form. It is quick, free and can provide invaluable advice.

Insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability can pay for things like loss of income, attorney fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from flooding, hitting a deer, fire damage and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things like backing into a parked car, colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses for things like prosthetic devices, surgery and nursing services. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
