Finding the most affordable insurance might appear rather challenging for drivers who are beginners to quoting and comparing prices on the internet. With such a large number of insurers to choose from, how are drivers expected to have time to compare every company in order to find the cheapest available price?

You should take the time to compare prices at least once a year because prices are adjusted regularly by insurance companies. Just because you had the best deal for Traverse coverage on your last policy other companies may now be cheaper. There is too much inaccurate information about insurance on the internet, but I’m going to show you some proven techniques to save money.

Save with these premium-slashing discounts

Companies don’t always list all possible discounts very well, so the list below gives a summary of a few of the more well known in addition to some of the lesser obvious credits that may apply to you.

  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings – Fewer annual miles on your Chevy can qualify you for lower auto insurancerates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • Drivers Ed for Students – Cut your cost by having your teen driver successfully complete driver’s ed class in high school.
  • Include Life Insurance and Save – Some insurance carriers give a small discount if you purchase a life policy as well.

  • Defensive Driving Course – Taking time to complete a class that teaches defensive driving techniques may get you a small discount and also improve your driving technique.

Policy discounts save money, but most discounts do not apply to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. So when it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, it’s just not the way it works.

Insurance companies that may offer policyholders these money-saving discounts include:

If you need lower rates, check with all companies you are considering which discounts they offer. Discounts might not apply in your area.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but make sure you compare equivalent coverage limits for every quote you compare. If each company quotes different values for each quote it’s not possible to decipher which rate is best. Just slight variations in coverages can mean a large discrepancy in price. Keep in mind that comparing more rates from different companies helps increase your odds of locating lower pricing. Not every company allows you to get quotes online, so you need to compare quotes from the smaller companies as well.

Components of your Chevy Traverse insurance costs

Part of the auto insurance buying process is learning some of the factors that help determine the price you pay for auto insurance. When you know what positively or negatively determines premiums, this allows you to make educated decisions that may result in big savings. Many different elements are part of the equation when you get a price on insurance. Some are pretty understandable like an MVR report, but some are less apparent like where you live or your vehicle rating.

  • Liability is important – Your auto insurance policy’s liability coverage kicks in in the event that you are determined to be liable for causing damage or personal injury in an accident. It will provide you with a defense in court to attempt to prove you were not liable. This coverage is very inexpensive compared to physical damage coverage, so drivers should make sure they buy enough to cover all assets.
  • Remove unneeded add-on coverages – There are a lot of optional add-on coverages that can waste your money on your auto insurance policy. Add-on coverages like coverage for rental cars, high-cost glass coverage, and extra life insurance coverage may not be needed and are just wasting money. These may sound like a good investment when you first buy your policy, but if they’re wasting money think about removing them and cutting costs.
  • Poor credit can mean higher costs – Having a bad credit rating factor in determining what you pay for auto insurance. If your credit history can use some improvement, you could save money insuring your 2015 Chevrolet Traverse by taking the time to improve your credit score. People with excellent credit tend to be better risks to insure than those with bad credit.
  • Auto insurance rates and age – Older drivers are more responsible, tend to cause fewer accidents and get fewer tickets.Youthful drivers are known to be easily distracted when driving with friends so they pay higher auto insurance rates.
  • Keep policy claims to a minimum – Auto insurance companies give the lowest premiums to policyholders who do not file claims often. If you are a frequent claim filer, you can definitely plan on either a policy non-renewal or much higher rates. Auto insurance is intended for claims that you cannot pay yourself.

Do I need special coverages?

When it comes to choosing coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Each situation is unique.

For example, these questions can aid in determining if you might need an agent’s assistance.

  • Can I rent a car in Mexico?
  • Is pleasure use cheaper than using my 2015 Chevy Traverse to commute?
  • What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?
  • Can my babysitter drive my car?
  • Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
  • Am I covered when driving a rental car?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form.

Specifics of your insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability insurance covers things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, court costs and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Traverse from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive insurance

This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like rock chips in glass, falling objects, vandalism and fire damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses such as prosthetic devices, ambulance fees, EMT expenses, doctor visits and rehabilitation expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

In the end, you save

When you buy insurance coverage online, make sure you don’t skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There are a lot of situations where an insured cut full coverage only to regret they didn’t have enough coverage. Your objective should be to find the BEST coverage at the best cost, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.

Drivers who switch companies do it for a variety of reasons including policy non-renewal, policy cancellation, unfair underwriting practices and not issuing a premium refund. Regardless of your reason, choosing a new company can be less work than you think.

Low-cost 2015 Chevy Traverse insurance can be bought online as well as from insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture. Some companies may not have the ability to get a quote online and usually these regional carriers sell through independent agents.
