Lower Your 1994 Ford Aspire Insurance Rates

Are you tired of being strong-armed to pay your car insurance bill each month? You are no different than many other drivers.

Drivers have multiple auto insurance companies to insure vehicles with, and though it is a good thing to have multiple companies, it can be more difficult to compare company pricing.

These discounts can lower your rates

Car insurance companies don’t list all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list both the well known and the harder-to-find ways to save on car insurance.

  • Government Employees – Simply working for the federal government could cut as much as 10% off for Aspire coverage with select insurance companies.
  • Use Seat Belts – Drivers who require all occupants to use a seat belt could cut 10% or more off the personal injury premium cost.
  • Low Mileage Discounts – Driving fewer miles can earn a substantially lower rate.
  • Military Rewards – Having a deployed family member may qualify for rate reductions.
  • Anti-lock Brakes – Vehicles equipped with ABS or steering control can reduce accidents and will save you 10% or more.
  • Senior Citizens – Older drivers may receive a small decrease in premiums for Aspire coverage.
  • Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Cars that have air bags or automatic seat belts can receive discounts up to 30%.

A little note about advertised discounts, many deductions do not apply the the whole policy. Most only cut specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. So when it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

How to Compare Insurance Coverage Costs

Most companies allow you to get pricing online. Getting quotes doesn’t take a lot of time as you simply type in your required coverages as requested by the quote form. Once you submit the form, the system orders your credit score and driving record and returns a price quote determined by many factors. This streamlines rate comparisons, but the work required to visit a lot of sites and type in the same information is monotonous and tiresome. But it’s absolutely necessary to compare as many rates as possible in order to get lower prices.

The smarter way to get multiple rate quotes utilizes a single form that obtains quotes from several companies at one time. It’s a real time-saver, reduces the work, and makes rate comparisons much more enjoyable and efficient. As soon as the form is sent, it is quoted with multiple companies and you can pick your choice of the quote results. If you find a better price you simply finish the application and purchase coverage. This process just takes a couple of minutes and you’ll know if lower rates are available.

  • Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
  • What exactly is covered by my policy?
  • How many claims can I have before being cancelled?

Specific coverages for a 1994 Ford Aspire

Knowing the specifics of your policy can help you determine the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverages offered by insurance companies.

Liability car insurance

Liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, medical services, funeral expenses, emergency aid and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield, vandalism and damage from flooding. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision protection

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Aspire resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things such as hitting a parking meter, sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM Coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 1994 Ford Aspire.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like ambulance fees, X-ray expenses and rehabilitation expenses. They can be utilized in addition to 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 if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Do the work, save more money

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s a bad idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. In many cases, someone sacrificed physical damage coverage only to regret that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your strategy should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.

Discount 1994 Ford Aspire insurance is available on the web as well as from independent agents, and you should be comparing both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance coverage companies don’t offer online quoting and many times these small, regional companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
