There is lot of inaccurate information about car insurance online but by reading this article, you’re going to learn some of the best ways to lower your car insurance rates.

Finding affordable coverage is not that difficult. Basically, every driver who is required by state law to have car insurance most likely will be able to cut their insurance bill. But drivers must understand how the larger insurance companies price online insurance and use this information to your advantage.

Take advantage of every insurance discount

Car insurance can cost a lot, but you can get discounts to cut the cost considerably. Some discounts will apply at the time of quoting, but a few must be inquired about prior to getting the savings.

• Good Student – Maintaining excellent grades could provide a savings of up to 20% or more. Most companies allow this discount up until you turn 25.
• Homeowners Pay Less – Simply owning a home can get you a discount because maintaining a house demonstrates responsibility.
• Theft Deterent Discount – Cars and trucks equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems are stolen less frequently and will save you 10% or more.
• Pay Early and Save – If you pay your bill all at once rather than paying in monthly installments you could save 5% or more.
• Switch and Save Discount – A few insurance companies allow discounts for switching policies before your current coverage expires. The savings is around 10%.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. Despite the fact that it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you aren’t that lucky.

A few companies who might offer some of the discounts shown above include:

• Progressive
• MetLife
• Mercury Insurance
• Nationwide
• Geico
• AAA

When quoting, ask all companies you are considering which discounts you may be entitled to. Some of the discounts discussed earlier may not apply to policies everywhere.

How to know if you need help

When it comes to buying coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Each situation is unique so this has to be addressed. For instance, these questions could help you determine if you could use an agent’s help.

• How much liability do I need to cover my assets?
• What if I don’t agree with a claim settlement offer?
• Will I lose any money if I cancel my policy before it expires?
• Am I covered if I hit a deer?
• Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
• Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
• How do I insure my teen driver?
• Is my vehicle covered by my employer’s policy when using it for work?
• Do I benefit by insuring my home with the same company?

If you’re not sure about those questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form or click here for a list of auto insurance companies in your area.

Car insurance coverages for a Dodge RAM 150

Knowing the specifics of a car insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find the usual coverages available from car insurance companies.

Comprehensive coverage – This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as hitting a deer, hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from a tornado or hurricane and rock chips in glass. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – This provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Liability auto insurance – This protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage protects against things like loss of income, court costs and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision – This covers damage to your RAM 150 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims such as damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car, backing into a parked car and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for funeral costs, ambulance fees, chiropractic care and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

One last thing about your coverage

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. There have been many situations where an accident victim reduced liability limits or collision coverage only to regret that they should have had better coverage. The goal is to find the BEST coverage for the lowest cost, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.

Affordable 1991 Dodge RAM 150 insurance is definitely available online in addition to many insurance agents, and you should be comparing both to have the best rate selection. A few companies do not offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these smaller companies prefer to sell through local independent agents.
