Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but you can get discounts that you may not even be aware of. A few discounts will automatically apply at the time of quoting, but a few must be inquired about in order for you to get them. If you’re not getting every credit you qualify for, you’re paying more than you need to.
A little note about advertised discounts, most credits do not apply to the entire policy premium. Most only cut individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. Even though it may seem like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way. But all discounts will help reduce your overall premium however.
A partial list of companies who might offer some of the above discounts include:
Double check with all companies you are considering which discounts they offer. Savings may not be available everywhere.
When buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s needs are different.

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like hitting a bird, hail damage and fire damage. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Insurance for medical payments
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for EMT expenses, X-ray expenses and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision insurance
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your SSR from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door, crashing into a building, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Liability coverages
Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, emergency aid, bail bonds, attorney fees and court costs. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
While you’re price shopping online, do not buy less coverage just to save a little money. There are a lot of situations where an insured cut physical damage coverage to discover at claim time that it was a big mistake. Your focus should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.
We just covered many tips how you can save on 2006 Chevy SSR insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more price quotes you have, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. Consumers could even find that the best prices are with a small mutual company.
