Save on 2013 Acura RDX Insurance Quotes

Trying to find the cheapest auto insurance rates for your Acura RDX? Finding lower rates for auto insurance can be nearly impossible for beginners to buying insurance online. Consumers have so many companies to choose from that it can be a real challenge to compare prices.

Take advantage of discounts

Car insurance companies do not advertise every available discount in an easy-to-find place, so we took the time to find both well-publicized and the more hidden savings tricks you should be using.

  • Paperless Signup – A few companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks simply for signing online.
  • Payment Discounts – If you pay your bill all at once instead of paying each month you may reduce your total bill.
  • Drive Less and Save – Low mileage vehicles can qualify you for better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Theft Prevention Discount – Anti-theft and alarm systems are stolen less frequently and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Accident Free – Claim-free drivers pay much less as compared to frequent claim filers.
  • Braking Control Discount – Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems prevent accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Military Rewards – Being on active duty in the military may qualify for rate reductions.

Drivers should understand that most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. Even though it may seem like you could get a free insurance coverage policy, it doesn’t quite work that way.

Insurance companies who might offer these discounts include:

It’s a good idea to ask each insurance company which discounts they offer. Savings may not be available in every state.

How to know if you need help

When buying coverage, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Every insured’s situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining if your situation could use an agent’s help.

  • What is covered by UM/UIM coverage?
  • Am I covered by my employer’s commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?
  • At what point should I drop full coverage?
  • Are rock chip repairs covered?
  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
  • Where can I find high-risk insurance?
  • What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in my state?
  • How can I get high-risk coverage after a DUI?
  • Is my 2013 Acura RDX covered for smoke damage?

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. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form.

Insurance policy specifics

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Liability car insurance

This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see values of 100/300/100 which stand for a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability can pay for claims like attorney fees, legal defense fees, bail bonds and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills like dental work, prosthetic devices, EMT expenses, funeral costs and ambulance fees. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays for 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 protects against claims like hitting a deer, vandalism, theft, damage from getting keyed and a broken windshield. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 2013 Acura RDX.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Don’t throw your cash in the trash

While you’re price shopping online, you should never skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. In too many instances, someone sacrificed physical damage coverage to discover at claim time that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your focus should be to purchase plenty of coverage at an affordable rate.

Cheaper 2013 Acura RDX insurance can be bought from both online companies as well as from independent agents, and you should be comparing both to get a complete price analysis. A few companies don’t offer online price quotes and many times these regional insurance providers only sell through independent insurance agents.

Drivers change insurance companies for a variety of reasons including an unsatisfactory settlement offer, extreme rates for teen drivers, not issuing a premium refund or even delays in responding to claim requests. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch choosing a new company is pretty simple and you could end up saving a buck or two.
