Discounts mean cheaper 2015 Buick LaCrosse insurance rates

Companies offering auto insurance don’t necessarily list all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list both the well known and the harder-to-find auto insurance savings.

  • Drive Safe and Save – Drivers who avoid accidents can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates for LaCrosse insurance than drivers with accident claims.
  • Good Student – A discount for being a good student can save 20 to 25%. Earning this discount can benefit you until age 25.
  • Drive Less and Save – Fewer annual miles on your Buick can earn discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
  • New Car Discount – Insuring a new car is cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Anti-lock Brakes – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles are safer to drive and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.

Keep in mind that most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like you could get a free auto insurance policy, companies don’t profit that way.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to choosing the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Every situation is different so your insurance should reflect that For example, these questions might point out if you might need professional guidance.

  • Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
  • Do I have newly-aquired coverage?
  • Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
  • Can my babysitter drive my car?
  • If I drive on a suspended license am I covered?
  • Should I get collision insurance on every vehicle?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider 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.

The coverage is in the details

Having a good grasp of car insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are typical coverage types found on most car insurance policies.

UM/UIM Coverage – This provides protection when other motorists 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.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Liability coverages – Liability insurance protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage pays for claims like legal defense fees, pain and suffering and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as fire damage, hitting a bird, damage from getting keyed and theft. The highest amount 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 it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Medical costs insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for bills such as EMT expenses, prosthetic devices, X-ray expenses, chiropractic care and doctor visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers you and your occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
