Find discounts on insurance coverage

Insurance coverage is neither fun to buy or cheap, but you may be missing some discounts to help bring down the price. Certain credits will be shown when you get a quote, but once in a while a discount must be asked about in order for you to get them.

  • Claim Free – Claim-free drivers pay less when compared with drivers who are more careless.
  • Defensive Driver Discounts – Successfully completing a course teaching defensive driver skills can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • One Accident Forgiven – Not really a discount, but companies like State Farm, Progressive and Geico will allow you to have one accident before they charge you more for coverage with the catch being you have to be claim-free before the accident.
  • Save with a New Car – Putting insurance on a new car can be considerably cheaper since new model year vehicles have better safety ratings.
  • Pay Now and Pay Less – By paying your entire bill at once instead of making monthly payments you can actually save on your bill.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings – Driving fewer miles could earn slightly better prices than normal.

Don’t be surprised that some of the credits will not apply the the whole policy. A few only apply to individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. Even though the math looks like all those discounts means the company will pay you, nobody gets a free ride.

A list of insurance coverage companies and their offered discounts are included below.

  • State Farm policyholders can earn discounts including student away at school, multiple autos, Drive Safe & Save, safe vehicle, anti-theft, and accident-free.

Smart consumers save money

Many things are used in the calculation when premium rates are determined. Some factors are common sense like an MVR report, but some are less apparent like your continuous coverage or how financially stable you are.One of the most helpful ways to save on car insurance is to to have a grasp of some of the factors that go into determining car insurance rates. If you understand what controls the rates you pay, this allows you to make educated decisions that can help you get big savings.

  • Rates may be higher where you live – Being located in areas with lower population is a good thing when shopping for auto insurance. Drivers who live in large cities have congested traffic and more time behind the wheel. Fewer drivers and short commutes means a lower chance of having an accident and a lower car theft rate.
  • Liability protection risk factors in – The liability section of your policy provides coverage in the event that a court rules you are at fault for damages from an accident. It provides for a legal defense starting from day one. Liability insurance is pretty cheap when compared with rates for comp and collision, so buy as much as you can afford.
  • Coverage deductibles are a factor – Physical damage insurance, also called ‘full coverage’, protects your Cadillac from damage. Some coverage claims are collision with another vehicle, flood damage, and damage from a fallen tree branch. Deductibles for physical damage state the amount of money you are willing to pay if the claim is covered. The larger the amount you choose to pay out-of-pocket, the less your car insurance will be on CTS Coupe coverage.
  • Teen drivers pay higher costs – Older, more experienced drivers are proven to be safer behind the wheel, tend to cause fewer accidents and are safer drivers.Inexperience drivers are statistically shown to be careless and easily distracted when at the wheel of a vehicle and because of this, their car insurance rates are much higher.

Tailor your insurance coverage coverage to you

When buying the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is unique and your policy should reflect that. For example, these questions could help you determine whether or not you could use an agent’s help.

  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
  • Why am I be forced to buy a membership to get insurance from some companies?
  • What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
  • What if I total my 2014 Cadillac CTS Coupe and owe more than it’s worth?
  • What is roadside assistance coverage?
  • Do I have coverage if my license is suspended?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies. It is quick, free and you can get the answers you need.

Do drivers who switch really save?

Consumers can’t avoid all the ads that claim the lowest prices by State Farm, Geico and Progressive. They all make an identical promise about how much you will save if you move your policy.

How do they all cost less than your current company? This is the trick they use.

Many companies quote their cheapest rates for the type of driver that will add to their bottom line. An example of this type of risk profile should be a married female, owns a home, and drives a safe vehicle. Anybody who meets those qualifications will probably get the lowest rates and as a result will probably save when switching.

Insureds who do not match those standards will have to pay higher rates which leads to business going elsewhere. The trick is to say “customers who switch” but not “all drivers who get quotes” save that much. That is how companies can make those statements.

Because of these techniques, it is so important to compare price quotes frequently. You cannot predict the company that will fit you best based on your risk profile.

Car insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of 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 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against claims like court costs, emergency aid, attorney fees, legal defense fees and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hitting a bird, theft, rock chips in glass and hitting a deer. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your CTS Coupe resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things like colliding with another moving vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a parking meter, 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 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Cadillac CTS Coupe.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Frequently these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses such as doctor visits, surgery, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices and hospital visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

In the end, you save

Lower-priced 2014 Cadillac CTS Coupe insurance can be found from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should be comparing both to have the best selection.

Your objective should be to get the best coverage possible at the best possible price, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
