Comparing price quotes is free and is an excellent way to lower your monthly bill. Popular companies such as Geico, 21st Century and Progressive increase brand awareness with advertising and it can be hard to sift through the bull and find the best price available.
All the larger car insurance companies allow you to get prices for coverage on the web. The process doesn’t take a lot of time as you simply type in the coverages you want as requested by the quote form. Behind the scenes, their system automatically orders information on your driving record and credit history and returns a price quote based on many factors. This streamlines rate comparisons, but the work required to visit multiple sites and type in the same information gets old quite quickly. Unfortunately, it is important to compare as many rates as possible in order to get the best price possible.

Having a good grasp of your car insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from car insurance companies.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Collision insurance
This 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 then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision insurance covers things such as colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter and colliding with another moving vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Liability auto insurance
This protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, structural damage and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hitting a bird, damage from flooding, hitting a deer and a broken windshield. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses such as dental work, EMT expenses and X-ray expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
