How Much Does 2003 HUMMER H1 Car Insurance Cost?

Looking for cheaper car insurance rates for your HUMMER H1? People who are new to shopping for insurance online might discover purchasing low-cost car insurance is not as easy as it seems.

The quickest way to compare insurance rates from multiple companies is to take advantage of the fact most insurance companies have advanced systems to provide you with a free rate quote. The one thing you need to do is give the companies some data such as if you have an active license, if the car is leased, how much school you completed, and marital status. That rating data gets transmitted to multiple insurance providers and they respond with quotes very quickly.

Verify you’re getting all your discounts

Auto insurance companies do not list all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list some of the best known and the harder-to-find discounts you could be receiving.

• Early Signing – Some companies give discounts for switching to them prior to your current policy expiration. This can save 10% or more.
• Multiple Vehicles – Having multiple vehicles with the same company could earn a price break for each car.
• Good Student Discount – Getting good grades can get you a discount of up to 25%. The discount lasts well after school through age 25.
• Theft Prevention Discount – Vehicles with anti-theft systems help deter theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
• Multiple Policy Discount – When you have multiple policies with one company you will save 10% to 20% off each policy.
• Discounts for Safe Drivers – Safe drivers may save up to 50% more on H1 coverage than drivers with accident claims.
• Driver Safety – Completing a defensive driving course could save 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.

It’s important to note that some of the credits will not apply to the entire cost. Most cut the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. Just because it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies don’t profit that way.

Learn about auto insurance coverages for a HUMMER H1

Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. Auto insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Liability

Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property. It protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against things like medical services, pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, medical expenses and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from getting keyed, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, a broken windshield and damage from flooding. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your H1 resulting from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like colliding with a tree, damaging your car on a curb and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses like surgery, funeral costs, pain medications and hospital visits. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
