How to save on 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio insurance

Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but you may find discounts that can drop the cost substantially. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time you complete a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be asked about in order for you to get them. If you don’t get every credit you deserve, you are throwing money away.

  • Drive Less and Save – Keeping the miles down on your Volkswagen could qualify for lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • New Car Discount – Adding a new car to your policy can be considerably cheaper since new cars are generally safer.
  • Multiple Vehicles – Buying insurance for multiple vehicles on the same auto insurance policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • Accident Waiver – Some insurance companies allow you one accident before hitting you with a surcharge as long as you don’t have any claims for a particular time prior to the accident.
  • Safe Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents may save up to 50% more for Cabrio insurance than their less cautious counterparts.
  • Driver’s Ed – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to successfully complete driver’s ed class in school.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Having a deployed family member may qualify for rate reductions.

It’s important to understand that some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. Even though it may seem like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it just doesn’t work that way. Any qualifying discounts will reduce the amount you have to pay.

Insurance companies that may offer these money-saving discounts may include but are not limited to:

Before buying, ask each insurance company which discounts they offer. Discounts might not apply in every state.

Car Insurance Quote Comparison

There are a lot of ways to compare car insurance prices but some are less labor-intensive and much quicker. You can waste a few hours (or days) discussing policy coverages with insurance agencies in your area, or you could use the internet to quickly compare rates.

Most of the best insurance companies belong to an insurance system where prospective buyers complete one form, and each participating company can provide price quotes determined by their information. This saves time by eliminating quote requests for every car insurance company.

However you get your quotes, make sure you use the exact same coverage limits on every quote. If your comparisons have different liability limits it’s not possible to determine the lowest rate for your Volkswagen Cabrio.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to buying coverage, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s needs are different.

  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
  • Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
  • Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
  • Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?
  • Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
  • How does medical payments coverage work?
  • When can my company non-renew my policy?
  • What is covered by UM/UIM coverage?
  • Do I need medical payments coverage since I have good health insurance?
  • Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?

If you can’t answer these questions, you may need to chat with an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form. It is quick, free and you can get the answers you need.

Parts of your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of insurance helps when choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as damage from flooding, vandalism, a broken windshield, fire damage and theft. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability coverages

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against things like attorney fees, loss of income, bail bonds and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Cabrio resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like hitting a mailbox, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses such as chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, X-ray expenses, dental work and EMT expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Money doesn’t grow on trees

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 too many instances, someone sacrificed uninsured motorist or liability limits and learned later that they should have had better coverage. Your goal should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.

Lower-priced 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio insurance is available both online and with local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance providers do not offer the ability to get a quote online and usually these small insurance companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

People who switch companies do it for any number of reasons including not issuing a premium refund, an unsatisfactory settlement offer, delays in responding to claim requests or denial of a claim. No matter why you want to switch, choosing a new insurance company is less work than it seems.
