Do you qualify for discounts?

The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but companies offer discounts to help bring down the price. A few discounts will automatically apply when you complete an application, but some may not be applied and must be asked for prior to getting the savings. If they aren’t giving you every credit you deserve, you are throwing money away.

  • 55 and Retired – If you’re over the age of 55, you may receive a small decrease in premiums on Cube coverage.
  • Braking Control Discount – Vehicles equipped with ABS or steering control can avoid accidents and will save you 10% or more.
  • Distant Student – Children who are attending college without a vehicle on campus may qualify for this discount.
  • Save with a New Car – Buying coverage on a new vehicle can be considerably cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings – Fewer annual miles on your Nissan could be rewarded with discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
  • Defensive Driver – Successfully completing a course teaching defensive driving skills can save you 5% or more depending on where you live.
  • Early Signing – A few companies offer discounts for signing up prior to your current policy expiration. This can save 10% or more.
  • Homeowners Discount – Owning a house can help you save on insurance because owning a home demonstrates responsibility.
  • Accident Forgiveness – A few companies will forgive one accident without raising rates as long as you don’t have any claims for a particular time prior to the accident.

A little note about advertised discounts, some of the credits will not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. So even though it sounds like all the discounts add up to a free policy, insurance companies aren’t that generous. But any discount will help reduce your overall premium however.

  • Am I insured when driving a different vehicle?
  • Can my teen drive my company car?

These factors can influence what you pay for Nissan Cube insurance

An important part of buying insurance is that you know the factors that help determine the rates you pay for insurance. Having a good understanding of what influences your rates helps enable you to make changes that could result in much lower annual insurance costs.

  • More miles equals more premium – The more you drive each year the higher your rate. Most insurance companies charge to insure your cars based on how the vehicle is used. Cars and trucks left parked in the garage qualify for better rates than those used for commuting. Make sure your insurance policy properly reflects the correct driver usage. If your policy improperly rates your Cube may be costing you.
  • Being married is a good thing – Getting married can get you a discount when buying insurance. Having a spouse means you’re more mature than a single person it has been statistically shown that married drivers get in fewer accidents.
  • Keep rates low by being claim-free – Insurance companies generally give lower rates to people who do not file claims often. If you frequently file small claims, you can pretty much guarantee higher rates. Insurance coverage is intended to be relied upon for larger claims.
  • A lapse in coverage is a bad thing – Driving your car without having proper coverage is a misdemeanor and you will pay a penalty because you let your coverage have a gap. And not only will insurance be more expensive, failure to provide proof of insurance might get you a hefty fine and possibly a revoked license.
  • Extra add-on coverages are wasting money – There are quite a few extra bells and whistles that you can buy on your insurance policy. Things like roadside assistance, towing coverage and additional equipment coverage are examples of these. These may sound like a good investment when you first buy your policy, but now you might not need them so remove them from your policy.

Specific coverages for a 2013 Nissan Cube

Knowing the specifics of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Nissan Cube.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your Cube from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims like hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a ditch and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as theft, a broken windshield, falling objects and hitting a bird. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses such as doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses, surgery and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers all vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for things such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, structural damage and medical services. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Power to the consumer

Cheaper 2013 Nissan Cube insurance can be purchased on the web and with local insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some insurance providers do not offer online quoting and most of the time these smaller companies sell through independent agents.

As you prepare to switch companies, it’s not a good idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. There have been many cases where drivers have reduced uninsured motorist or liability limits only to find out that they should have had better coverage. The proper strategy is to find the BEST coverage at an affordable rate while not skimping on critical coverages.

People leave their current company for many reasons like high prices, not issuing a premium refund, denial of a claim and lack of trust in their agent. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch switching car insurance companies can be pretty painless.
