Multiple insurance companies compete for your insurance dollar, so it can be very hard to choose a provider to find the absolute best rate

It’s a good idea to compare prices every six months due to the fact that insurance rates change regularly. If you had the lowest premium rates on Express Cargo coverage on your last policy you may be paying too much now. You can find a lot of misleading information regarding insurance online but in just a couple of minutes you can learn some proven techniques to find cheap insurance.

How to shop insurance coverage online

There are several ways to compare rate quotes from local insurance coverage companies. The best method to find cheaper Chevy Express Cargo rates is simply to get online rate quotes. This is quite simple and can be completed in a couple of different ways.

1. The single most time-saving way to compare a lot of rates at once would be an industry-wide quote request form click to view form in new window. This method keeps you from doing multiple quote forms for each company. One form submission compares rates from several companies.
2. A more time consuming way to obtain and compare quotes online requires visiting the website for each individual company and get a separate price quote. For examples sake, we’ll pretend you want to compare Auto-Owners, State Farm and Geico. In order to compare rates, you need to visit each site and enter your policy data, which is not fast way to get rate quotes. For a list of links to insurance companies in your area, click here.

Whichever way you choose to compare rates, compare nearly identical quote data for every quote you compare. If you have different liability limits it will be nearly impossible to get a fair rate comparison. Even a minor difference in coverage limits can mean a large discrepancy in price. Keep in mind that obtaining a wide range of quotes increases the change that you will find a lower rate. Not every company does rate quotes online, so you need to compare price quotes on coverage from those companies, too.

More affordable rates with discounts

Auto insurance companies don’t always publicize every available discount very clearly, so the next list breaks down both well-publicized and also the more inconspicuous credits available to bring down your rates.

• Military Deployment Discount – Being on active deployment in the military could mean lower insurance rates.
• Driver Education Discount – It’s a good idea to have your young drivers participate in a local driver’s education class in school or through a local driver safety program.
• Good Student – A discount for being a good student can earn a discount of 20% or more. Most companies allow this discount until age 25.
• E-sign Discounts – A few insurance companies provide a small discount for signing up on the internet.
• Drive Less and Save – Driving fewer miles could earn slightly better rates than normal.

You can save money using discounts, but some of the credits will not apply the the whole policy. Most cut individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. Just because it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, nobody gets a free ride.

Large insurance companies and their offered discounts are shown below.

• Geico may have discounts that include driver training, good student, defensive driver, five-year accident-free, federal employee, anti-lock brakes, and daytime running lights.

Auto insurance coverages 101

Learning about specific coverages of your auto insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are the usual coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

Collision protection

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2017 Chevy Express Cargo.

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 coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive protection

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

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like falling objects, fire damage, a broken windshield and vandalism. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Medical expense coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for rehabilitation expenses, dental work and funeral costs. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability auto insurance

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, attorney fees, court costs and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but buy higher limits if possible.
