You probably qualify for some discounts

Car insurance can cost a lot, but companies offer discounts to cut the cost considerably. Most are applied at quote time, but a few need to be manually applied before you will receive the discount.

  • Early Signing – A few companies offer discounts for switching to them before your current expiration date. This can save 10% or more.
  • No Accidents – Claim-free drivers pay much less as compared to accident-prone drivers.
  • E-sign – A few companies will give a small break for buying your policy online.
  • Safe Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates for GT-R coverage than less cautious drivers.
  • Military Rewards – Having a deployed family member could mean lower rates.
  • College Student – Youth drivers who attend school more than 100 miles from home without a vehicle on campus can receive lower rates.
  • Passive Restraint Discount – Factory air bags can receive discounts of 20% or more.
  • Drive Less and Save – Driving fewer miles can earn better rates on cars that stay parked.

A little note about advertised discounts, most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only reduce specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies don’t profit that way. Any amount of discount will reduce your premiums.

Companies that may have some of the above discounts may include but are not limited to:

It’s a good idea to ask each insurance company how you can save money. Savings may not apply in your state.

There’s no such thing as the perfect policy

When buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Everyone’s needs are different.

For example, these questions may help highlight if you could use an agent’s help.

  • Can I make deliveries for my home business?
  • Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
  • Does having multiple vehicles earn me a discount?
  • Do I need added coverage for expensive stereo equipment?
  • Am I insured when driving a different vehicle?
  • Do I have newly-aquired coverage?
  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
  • Am I covered if I hit a deer?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

Learn about insurance coverages for a Nissan GT-R

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – This gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Nissan GT-R.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Frequently these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Auto liability insurance – This will cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit 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 bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees, structural damage and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things like colliding with another moving vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage – This coverage 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 insurance covers things such as hail damage, a broken windshield, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills for things like dental work, rehabilitation expenses and hospital visits. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

You can do this!

Insureds leave their current company for a number of reasons such as being labeled a high risk driver, an unsatisfactory settlement offer, high rates after DUI convictions or not issuing a premium refund. Regardless of your reason, switching insurance companies is less work than it seems.

Cheaper 2009 Nissan GT-R insurance can be bought online as well as from independent agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some insurance companies don’t offer you the ability to get quotes online and usually these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you prepare to switch companies, never skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are a lot of situations where an insured cut uninsured motorist or liability limits and found out when filing a claim that they should have had better coverage. Your strategy should be to get the best coverage possible at a price you can afford.
