Free Auto Insurance Quotes

All major auto insurance companies quote prices on their websites. Getting online quotes doesn’t take much effort as you simply type in the amount of coverage you want into the quote form. When the form is submitted, their rating system orders information on your driving record and credit history and gives you a price quote based on these factors.

Being able to quote online makes it a lot easier to compare rates but the time required to go to several different sites and type in the same information can be a bit repetitive. Unfortunately, it is important to get many rate quotes if you want to find a better rate.

Tailor your coverage to you

When choosing the best car insurance coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

Here are some questions about coverages that can help discover whether or not you might need professional guidance.

Why am I be forced to buy a membership to get insurance from some companies?
Do I need more liability coverage?
Do all my vehicles need collision coverage?
Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
What if I don’t agree with a claim settlement offer?
Is my teen driver covered when they drive my company car?
Where can I find high-risk insurance?
How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
Can I make deliveries for my home business?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form.

Coverage specifics

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Liability coverages

Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people in an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and 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. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for claims such as court costs, structural damage and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as hitting a bird, damage from flooding, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hail damage and hitting a deer. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door and crashing into a ditch. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

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

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as EMT expenses, surgery, rehabilitation expenses, pain medications and funeral costs. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
