It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just be sure to compare apples-to-apples coverage limits and deductibles for each price quote. If you use unequal deductibles or liability limits it will be impossible to determine which rate is truly the best. Having just a slight variation in limits may cause a big price difference. And when price shopping your coverage, getting more free quotes gives you a better chance of getting a better price.
Companies offering auto insurance don’t always publicize all available discounts very clearly, so we researched both the well known as well as the least known savings tricks you should be using.
It’s important to understand that most discounts do not apply the the whole policy. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. So when the math indicates you could get a free auto insurance policy, auto insurance companies aren’t that generous.

When it comes to choosing coverage, there isn’t really a cookie cutter policy. Every insured’s situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For instance, these questions may help highlight whether or not you might need professional guidance.
If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
Knowing the specifics of auto insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on most auto insurance policies.
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 can pay for claims like falling objects, damage from getting keyed, damage from flooding, rock chips in glass and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
This will pay to fix damage to your Santa Fe Sport caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for things like scraping a guard rail, rolling your car and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses for things like surgery, pain medications, rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits and hospital visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
We covered many ways to reduce 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport insurance prices online. The key thing to remember is the more companies you get rates for, the better your comparison will be. Consumers may even find the best prices are with a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising. Some small companies may only write in your state and offer lower rates than the large multi-state companies such as Progressive or Geico.
As you restructure your insurance plan, do not buy poor coverage just to save money. In many instances, someone sacrificed liability coverage limits and found out when filing a claim that the small savings ended up costing them much more. The aim is to purchase plenty of coverage at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.
