Looking for better auto insurance rates for your Dodge Challenger? Finding the cheapest auto insurance over the internet can seem to be intimidating for beginners to shopping for insurance online. Because there are so many insurance companies available, how can consumers effectively compare the different rates to find the cheapest rates?
Effectively comparing insurance coverage prices can be exhausting if you aren’t aware of the easiest way. You can waste hours talking to insurance agencies in your area, or you could save time and use online quotes to quickly compare rates.
The majority of car insurance companies take part in a program that allows shoppers to enter their policy data once, and at least one company can provide price quotes based on the submitted data. This prevents consumers from doing form submissions to every company.

The one disadvantage to getting quotes like this is buyers cannot specifically choose the providers to get pricing from. So if you prefer to choose specific providers to request quotes from, we have a page of the cheapest insurance coverage companies in your area. Click here to view list.
However you get your quotes, ensure you’re using apples-to-apples coverage limits on every quote you get. If you enter differing limits it will be impossible to make an equal comparison. Having just a slight variation in limits could mean much higher rates. And when price shopping your coverage, more quotes gives you a better chance of getting a better price.
When it comes to choosing adequate coverage, there is no perfect coverage plan. Every insured’s situation is different.
Here are some questions about coverages that can help discover whether you might need an agent’s assistance.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form.
Understanding the coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the best coverages for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Coverage for medical expenses
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices and ambulance fees. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Collision insurance
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Challenger from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for things like hitting a mailbox, crashing into a ditch, rolling your car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from flooding, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird and falling objects. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time 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.
Liability coverages
This protects you from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage pays for claims like court costs, legal defense fees, loss of income and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
