Buying the lowest cost insurance coverage is easy if you know what you’re doing. If you have a policy now or are just looking to switch companies, you can use these techniques to find the best rates while maximizing coverage. Drivers only need to know the proper methods to get comparison rates online.
The quickest method we recommend to compare car insurance company rates takes advantage of the fact most of the bigger providers will pay a fee to give rate comparisons. The only thing you need to do is give them rating details including how much school you completed, whether you drive to work or school, whether you are single or married, and types of safety features. The rating information is then submitted to insurance carriers in your area and you receive quotes quickly.
Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but discounts can save money and there are some available to help bring down the price. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied at the time you complete a quote, but a few need to be asked for before being credited. If you aren’t receiving every discount you deserve, you are throwing money away.
Drivers should understand that most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. So when the math indicates you could get a free insurance coverage policy, it doesn’t quite work that way. But any discount will reduce your overall premium however.

When choosing coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Every situation is different.

Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like surgery, X-ray expenses, doctor visits and funeral costs. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for things such as crashing into a ditch, hitting a parking meter and crashing into a building. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things like hitting a bird, theft, hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, emergency aid and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.
