Cheap insurance quotes online

Cutting your insurance rates isn’t really that difficult. The only thing you need to do is spend a few minutes to compare rate quotes to find the company with the cheapest car insurance quotes. This can easily be done in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

Probably the best way to get the best comparison quotes is an all-inclusive rate comparison (click to open form in new window). This type of form eliminates the need for boring form submissions for each company you want a rate for. A single form gets you price quotes from multiple low-cost companies.It’s the quickest way to get rates.

A less efficient way to find lower rates is to manually visit each company’s website and get a separate price quote. For sake of this example, let’s assume you want to compare prices for Auto-Owners, Farmers and Liberty Mutual. In order to get each rate, you would have to go to each individual site and type in your information over and over, and that’s why the first method is more popular.

Compare rates however you want, just double check that you are using nearly identical coverages on every price quote you get. If each company quotes differing limits it will be next to impossible to determine which rate is truly the best.

These nine discounts can reduce auto insurance rates

Buying auto insurance is not cheap, but there’s a good chance there are discounts to cut the cost considerably. Many discounts should be triggered when you get a quote, but a few must be manually applied prior to receiving the credit. If you do not double check each discount available, you are throwing money away.

Student Discounts – Being a good student may save as much as 25% on a car insurance quote. Most companies allow this discount until age 25.
Resident Student – College-age children living away from home attending college without a vehicle on campus can be insured at a reduced rate.
Multiple Policy Discount – When you have multiple policies and insure them with the same company you could get a discount of at least 10 to 15 percent or more.
Early Switch Discount – A few insurance companies give discounts for renewing your policy prior to the expiration date on your current policy. You may see this discount when you get car insurance quotes online.
Include Life Insurance and Save – Select auto insurance companies reward you with a lower rate if you buy a life policy as well.
Seat Belts Save – Requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could save 15% on medical payment and PIP coverage.
Senior Discount – Mature drivers can get reduced rates for LS 600h L coverage.
Discounts for Safe Drivers – Drivers who avoid accidents may save up to 50% more for LS 600h L coverage than drivers with accident claims.
Drivers Ed for Students – Cut your cost by having your teen driver successfully complete driver’s ed class as it can save substantially.

A quick disclaimer, some of the credits will not apply the the whole policy. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business.

A list of companies and their offered discounts are:

State Farm has discounts for anti-theft, driver’s education, defensive driving training, Drive Safe & Save, Steer Clear safe driver discount, and multiple autos.
Nationwide offers premium reductions for accident-free, business or organization, multi-policy, family plan, and good student.
Geico offers discounts including emergency military deployment, anti-theft, good student, driver training, and multi-policy.
AAA may include discounts for pay-in-full, multi-policy, AAA membership discount, education and occupation, and good driver.
21st Century may have discounts that include teen driver, driver training, 55 and older, automatic seat belts, anti-lock brakes, and defensive driver.
The Hartford discounts include bundle, good student, anti-theft, defensive driver, and vehicle fuel type.

Before purchasing a policy, check with each company or agent which discounts you may be entitled to. Savings may not apply to policyholders in your area. If you would like to see a list of providers offering auto insurance discounts, click here.

When do I need an agent’s advice?

When buying adequate coverage, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Every insured’s situation is different.

For instance, these questions can aid in determining if you would benefit from professional advice.

Can I rent a car in Mexico?
Can I drive in Mexico and have coverage?
Do I need an umbrella policy?
Are my friends covered when driving my 2011 Lexus LS 600h L?
Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
If I drive on a suspended license am I covered?
Does my medical payments coverage pay my health insurance deductible?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and can help protect your family.

Car insurance coverages for a Lexus LS 600h L

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Auto collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your LS 600h L resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things like hitting a parking meter, sustaining damage from a pot hole, rolling your car, sideswiping another vehicle and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Normally the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as fire damage, damage from getting keyed, damage from flooding, hitting a bird and a broken windshield. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for things like chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits and X-ray expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property in an accident. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims such as bail bonds, court costs, attorney fees and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.
