The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but you can get discounts that can drop the cost substantially. A few discounts will automatically apply at the time you complete a quote, but less common discounts must be specifically requested before you will receive the discount.
It’s important to understand that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. So when it seems like you could get a free insurance policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way. Any qualifying discounts will reduce your premiums.

Insurance providers like Progressive, Geico, Allstate and State Farm continually stream television and radio advertisements. They all say the same thing of big savings after switching to them. How can each company make almost identical claims? This is how they do it.
Different companies are able to cherry pick for the type of driver that makes them money. An example of a preferred risk could possibly be over the age of 40, has no driving citations, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. Any driver who matches those parameters will get very good rates and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.
Potential insureds who fall outside this ideal profile will be charged more money and ends up with business going elsewhere. The ads say “customers that switch” not “everybody who quotes” save that kind of money. That’s why companies can truthfully advertise the savings.
That is why drivers must get quotes from several different companies. It’s not possible to predict the company that will give you the biggest savings on Maserati Coupe insurance.
Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverages available from car insurance companies.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Maserati Coupe.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Collision coverage – Collision coverage covers damage to your Coupe resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Liability insurance – Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as loss of income, pain and suffering, attorney fees, legal defense fees and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Insurance for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses such as prosthetic devices, rehabilitation expenses and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like hitting a deer, hail damage and hitting a bird. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
As you shop your coverage around, you should never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. Too many times, an insured cut full coverage and found out when filing a claim that the savings was not a smart move. The ultimate goal is to get the best coverage possible at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.
We covered many ways to lower your 2005 Maserati Coupe insurance rates. It’s most important to understand that the more companies you get rates for, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. You may even discover the biggest savings come from the least-expected company. They often have lower prices on specific markets compared to the large companies like Allstate and Progressive.
