The quickest method to compare car insurance company rates is to take advantage of the fact most of the larger companies participate in online systems to compare their rates.

The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but companies offer discounts to cut the cost considerably. Most are applied when you get a quote, but a few need to be asked for in order for you to get them.

Learning about specific coverages of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Kia Borrego.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like rock chips in glass, fire damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, falling objects and a broken windshield. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Collision coverage protection
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding 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 coverage protects against claims such as damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter, colliding with a tree, hitting a mailbox and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Coverage for liability
Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not 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. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability can pay for claims such as court costs, attorney fees, loss of income, emergency aid and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for dental work, EMT expenses, hospital visits, surgery and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
When buying insurance coverage, don’t be tempted to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. In too many instances, someone sacrificed comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to find out that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your focus should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.
