Trying to find the cheapest insurance coverage rates for your Volvo 940? Have you had enough of robbing Peter to pay Paul to pay your car insurance bill each month? Your situation is no different than the majority of other car owners.
Drivers have multiple car insurance companies to pick from, and although it’s a good thing to have a selection, it makes it harder to adequately compare rates.
You should take the time to price shop coverage quite often since rates are constantly changing. If you had the lowest price on 940 insurance a couple years back you can probably find a lower rate today. So just forget anything you know (or think you know) about insurance coverage because you’re going to get a crash course in the best methods to properly buy coverages and cut your premium.
Shopping for affordable protection is not that difficult. Essentially everyone who is required by state law to have car insurance will more than likely be able to lower their premiums. But car owners must know how companies determine prices and take advantage of how the system works.
When shopping for auto insurance there are multiple ways to get quotes from different insurance companies. The quickest method to find the cheapest 1994 Volvo 940 insurance rates involves getting comparison quotes online. It is quite easy and can be accomplished in several different ways.
However you get your quotes, double check that you are using exactly the same coverage limits and deductibles with every price quote. If you compare different limits and deductibles on each one it’s not possible to truly determine the lowest rate. Quoting even small variations in coverage limits can result in a big premium difference. And when price shopping your coverage, comparing more company’s prices will increase your chances of finding a lower rate.
The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but discounts can save money and there are some available to help bring down the price. Some trigger automatically at the time of quoting, but less common discounts must be requested specifically prior to getting the savings.
It’s important to note that some credits don’t apply to the overall cost of the policy. Some only reduce individual premiums such as comprehensive or collision. So when the math indicates all the discounts add up to a free policy, it doesn’t quite work that way. But all discounts will help reduce the amount you have to pay.
Car insurance companies that may have these money-saving discounts are:
Double check with each company which discounts they offer. Savings might not be offered in your state.
When choosing the best insurance coverage coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Each situation is unique so this has to be addressed. These are some specific questions may help highlight whether your personal situation might need professional guidance.

Learning about specific coverages of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the usual coverages available from auto insurance companies.
Coverage for liability
Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability insurance covers things like bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive auto coverage
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like falling objects, damage from getting keyed and a broken windshield. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision protection
Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision insurance covers claims such as crashing into a ditch, crashing into a building, damaging your car on a curb and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Volvo 940.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses such as doctor visits, X-ray expenses, pain medications and prosthetic devices. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible
