Many things are part of the equation when premium rates are determined. Some of the criteria are obvious such as your driving record, but others are not as apparent like your vehicle usage or how financially stable you are.
The factors shown below are just a few of the factors used by insurance companies to determine your rate level.
Companies don’t always publicize all their discounts very clearly, so we break down both well-publicized and also the lesser-known credits available to you.
Keep in mind that some credits don’t apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. Even though it appears all those discounts means the company will pay you, you’re out of luck. Any qualifying discounts should definitely cut your insurance premiums.
Large insurance companies and some of their more popular discounts are shown below.
Before you buy a policy, ask each company or agent which discounts they offer. All car insurance discounts may not apply to policyholders everywhere.
When buying coverage, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.
For instance, these questions can aid in determining whether or not you would benefit from an agent’s advice.
If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and can provide invaluable advice.
Learning about specific coverages of insurance helps when choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses such as prosthetic devices, doctor visits and X-ray expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover you and your occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible
This can cover damage that occurs to other people or property. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for 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 might see limits of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability insurance covers claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services, structural damage and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things like theft, hitting a deer, rock chips in glass, falling objects and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
This coverage covers damage to your 350Z from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as scraping a guard rail, rolling your car, driving through your garage door, damaging your car on a curb and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Consumers switch companies for a number of reasons such as questionable increases in premium, delays in responding to claim requests, extreme rates for teen drivers or high prices. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, switching auto insurance companies can be pretty painless.
When shopping online for auto insurance, do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are a lot of situations where an insured dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits and found out when filing a claim they didn’t have enough coverage. The proper strategy is to buy a smart amount of coverage at the best cost and still be able to protect your assets.
Cheaper auto insurance is available from both online companies and from local insurance agents, and you should compare rates from both to have the best rate selection. There are still a few companies who may not offer price quotes online and most of the time these small, regional companies only sell coverage through local independent agents.
