2014 Chrysler Town and Country Insurance Cost – 5 Tricks for Cheaper Prices

Want cheaper insurance rates for your Chrysler Town and Country? I can’t think of a single person who looks forward to buying insurance, especially when they are paying too much.

Because there are so many insurance companies to choose from, it can be hard to locate the lowest price insurer.

You should make it a habit to shop coverage around periodically because insurance rates are constantly changing. Just because you found the best price for Town and Country coverage a couple years back a different company probably has better rates today. Forget all the misinformation about insurance because I’m going to let you in on the secrets to the best methods to eliminate unnecessary coverages and save money.

Discounts mean cheaper Chrysler Town and Country insurance rates

Insuring your fleet can be pricey, but there could be available discounts to reduce the price significantly. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied at the time of purchase, but some may not be applied and must be asked about before being credited.

  • Driver’s Ed – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to enroll in driver’s education if offered at their school.
  • No Claims – Good drivers with no accidents can earn big discounts when compared to drivers who are more careless.
  • Discount for Good Grades – This discount can earn a discount of 20% or more. Earning this discount can benefit you up to age 25.
  • Defensive Driving Course – Successfully completing a driver safety course could cut 5% off your bill if your company offers it.
  • Multi-policy Discount – If you insure your home and vehicles with one company you could get a discount of at least 10% off all policies.

Drivers should understand that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire policy premium. A few only apply to individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. So despite the fact that it appears adding up those discounts means a free policy, it doesn’t quite work that way. Any qualifying discounts will cut the cost of coverage.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to choosing coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s needs are different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions may help you determine if your insurance needs might need professional guidance.

  • Should I have a commercial auto policy?
  • Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
  • Will I lose any money if I cancel my policy before it expires?
  • How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
  • Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
  • Is my 2014 Chrysler Town and Country covered for smoke damage?
  • Do I need roadside assistance coverage?
  • Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?

If you can’t answer these questions, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form or click here for a list of auto insurance companies in your area.

Car insurance coverage information

Learning about specific coverages of insurance helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.

Auto liability

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. 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 50/100/50 that means you have a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers claims like emergency aid, medical expenses, attorney fees and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Town and Country resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as sideswiping another vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses for EMT expenses, rehabilitation expenses, X-ray expenses and nursing services. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as fire damage, hail damage, hitting a bird and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Chrysler Town and Country.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

A penny saved is a penny earned

As you shop your coverage around, it’s not a good idea to sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In too many instances, an insured dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your aim should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.

The cheapest 2014 Chrysler Town and Country insurance can be sourced on the web as well as from independent agents, so you should compare both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who don’t offer online quoting and these small insurance companies work with independent agents.
