View 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Insurance Cost

Want cheaper insurance rates for your Chevrolet TrailBlazer? Trying to find cheaper insurance for a Chevy TrailBlazer can be a lot of work, but you can learn these tips to make it easier.

There are more efficient ways to buy insurance and you need to know the best way to quote coverages for a Chevy and get the cheapest rates from both online companies and local agents.

Compare quotes for auto insurance

Finding a lower price on 2009 Chevy TrailBlazer insurance is actually quite simple. You just have to invest a few minutes comparing rates to find out which insurance company has the cheapest auto insurance quotes. You can get a good selection of rate quotes using a couple different methods.

  1. Hands down the most simple method to find low rates is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This easy form keeps you from doing separate quote forms to each individual auto insurance company. Just one form gets insurance cost estimates from several companies. It’s definitely the quickest method.
  2. A more difficult way to analyze rates requires a trip to each company’s website and get a separate price quote. For example, let’s say you want comparison quotes from Nationwide, 21st Century and GMAC. To find out each rate you need to take the time to go to each site to enter your coverage information, which can get old fast.

Whichever method you choose, make sure you compare nearly identical quote information with each company. If each company quotes different values for each quote it’s not possible to make a fair rate comparison.

Take advantage of with these discounts

Companies offering auto insurance don’t always publicize every available discount in an easy-to-find place, so the list below details a few of the more common and the more hidden credits available to you.

  • Drive Safe and Save – Insureds without accidents can save up to 40% or more on their auto insurance quote on TrailBlazer coverage compared to accident prone drivers.
  • Theft Deterent – Cars, trucks, and SUVs equipped with tracking devices and advanced anti-theft systems are stolen with less frequency and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Discount for Good Grades – Getting good grades can get you a discount of up to 25%. Most companies allow this discount until age 25.
  • Full Payment Discount – By making one initial payment instead of making monthly payments you can avoid monthly service charges.
  • Own a Home – Owning your own home or condo can earn you a little savings since owning and maintaining a home requires a higher level of personal finance.
  • Auto/Life Discount – Not every insurance company offers life insurance, but if they do you may earn a lower rate if you buy life insurance from them.
  • Active Service Discounts – Having a deployed family member could trigger a small discount.
  • Senior Citizens – Drivers that qualify as senior citizens are able to get a discount up to 10% on TrailBlazer coverage.

Discounts lower rates, but most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. So even though it sounds like you could get a free insurance policy, it’s just not the way it works.

Specific coverages for a 2009 Chevy TrailBlazer

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Collision – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things such as damaging your car on a curb, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical expense coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses such as X-ray expenses, funeral costs, dental work and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Coverage for liability – Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as court costs, attorney fees, structural damage, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive protection – Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as vandalism, theft, hitting a deer and hitting a bird. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage – This coverage provides protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2009 Chevy TrailBlazer.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
