It’s up to you which method you use, but make absolute certain that you use the exact same coverage limits and deductibles for every company. If you have higher or lower deductibles you can’t possibly determine the lowest rate for your MINI Cooper Clubman.
Companies that sell car insurance do not advertise every discount very well, so we break down some of the more common as well as the least known insurance savings. If you don’t get every credit possible, you are paying more than you should be.
As a disclaimer on discounts, some of the credits will not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies don’t profit that way.
Insurance companies that may offer some of the above discounts may include but are not limited to:
It’s a good idea to ask all companies you are considering which discounts you may be entitled to. Some discounts might not be offered everywhere.
When it comes to choosing coverage, there is no perfect coverage plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.
For instance, these questions might point out if your situation might need professional guidance.
If you’re not sure about those questions but one or more may apply to you then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form. It is quick, free and can help protect your family.
Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like hospital visits, nursing services, doctor visits and EMT expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Auto liability – Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage pays for things like repair costs for stationary objects, medical services, court costs and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as falling objects, theft, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, a broken windshield and vandalism. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your MINI Cooper Clubman.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.
Collision coverage – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims like backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Cost effective 2010 MINI Cooper Clubman insurance is available from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance providers may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and these regional insurance providers work with independent agents.
As you restructure your insurance plan, make sure you don’t reduce needed coverages to save money. There have been many cases where someone dropped physical damage coverage only to find out they didn’t have enough coverage. Your strategy should be to buy the best coverage you can find at a price you can afford.
People change insurance companies for a number of reasons such as high rates after DUI convictions, being labeled a high risk driver, delays in responding to claim requests or policy cancellation. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new car insurance company is not as hard as you think.
