Lower Your 2005 Saab 9-7X Car Insurance Quotes

No one in their right mind cherishes buying auto insurance, especially when the price is too high. There are many car insurance companies to choose from, and although it’s a good thing to be able to choose, it can be more difficult to find the lowest rates.

Don’t miss out on these money-saving discounts

Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but there are discounts available that can drop the cost substantially. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time of purchase, but lesser-known reductions have to be asked for before you will receive the discount. If you aren’t receiving every discount you deserve, you are throwing money away.

  • Payment Method – If you pay your bill all at once rather than paying monthly you could save up to 5%.
  • Life Insurance – Larger companies have lower rates if you buy a life insurance policy as well.
  • Anti-lock Brake System – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can reduce accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Drivers Ed for Students – Require your teen driver to complete a driver education course if offered at their school.
  • College Student – Any of your kids who live away from home and don’t have a car can be insured at a reduced rate.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like all those discounts means the company will pay you, insurance coverage companies aren’t that generous. Any amount of discount will cut the amount you have to pay.

Parts of your auto insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are the usual coverages available from auto insurance companies.

Coverage for medical expenses

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills such as hospital visits, nursing services, chiropractic care, EMT expenses and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers all vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability coverages

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show values of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for things like pain and suffering, attorney fees, medical expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your 9-7X resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a parking meter and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto insurance

This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as theft, damage from getting keyed, hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and vandalism. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your 2005 Saab 9-7X.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Usually the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
