Which insurance is cheapest?

There are a lot of ways you can shop for insurance but one way is less labor-intensive and much quicker. You can waste a lot of time discussing policy coverages with insurance companies in your area, or you could save time and use online quoting to get rates in a matter of minutes.

Many insurance companies take part in a program where insurance shoppers enter their policy data once, and at least one company then returns a price quote. This saves time by eliminating quotation requests for each company you want a rate for.

The single downside to using this type of system is that consumers can’t choose which insurance companies you will receive quotes from. If you would rather choose individual companies to request quotes from, we put together a list of insurance companies in your area. Click here for list of insurance companies.

Whichever way you use, do your best to use the exact same deductibles and coverage limits on every price quote you get. If your comparisons have mixed coverages it’s not possible to make a fair rate comparison. Even a minor difference in limits can result in a big premium difference. It’s important to know that comparing a large number of companies increases the change that you will find a lower rate than you’re paying now.

Take policy discounts and save

Insurance is not cheap nor is it fun to buy but you might already qualify for some discounts that you may not even know about. Some of these disounts will be visible at the time of quoting, but less common discounts must be inquired about in order for you to get them. If you do not check that you are getting every discount available, you are paying more than you should be.

• Membership in Organizations – Affiliation with qualifying clubs or civic groups could trigger savings on insurance.
• Driving Data Discount – Insureds who allow their insurance company to track driving habits by installing a telematics device such as In-Drive from State Farm or Allstate’s Drivewise system may get a rate reduction if they show good driving skills.
• Drive Less and Save – Driving fewer miles can qualify you for cheaper rates.
• Multi-line Discount – Select companies reward you with a break if you buy some life insurance in addition to your auto policy.
• Paper-free Discount – Some companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks just for signing your application on your computer.
• Use Seat Belts – Drivers who require all vehicle occupants to use a seat belt can save a little off the PIP or medical payment premium.

Just know that most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. Even though the math looks like it’s possible to get free car insurance, it just doesn’t work that way.

A few companies that possibly offer many of the previously listed discounts include:

• Progressive
• The Hartford
• Mercury Insurance
• Geico
• AAA
• State Farm

When comparing rates, check with each company which discounts you qualify for. Some discounts may not be available in your area. To find insurers offering insurance discounts, click here to view.

Informed consumers save every year

One of the most helpful ways to save on auto insurance is to to have a grasp of some of the things that come into play when calculating the price you pay for auto insurance. If you understand what influences your rates, this helps enable you to make changes that could help you find better auto insurance rates.

Listed below are some of the things used by your company to calculate your rate level.

• Never let your auto insurance policy lapse – Having a gap between insurance policy dates will be a sure-fire way to increase your renewal premiums. Not only will you pay more, failure to provide proof of insurance can result in a revoked license or a big fine.
• Remove unneeded extra coverages – Policies have extra add-on coverages that sound like a good idea at the time if you aren’t careful. Add-on coverages like personal injury protection, towing coverage, and motor club memberships could be just wasting money. The coverages may be enticing initially, but now you might not need them so eliminate the coverages to reduce your premium.
• Lower premiums for safer vehicles – Vehicles with good safety scores are cheaper to insure. Safer cars reduce occupant injuries and lower rates of occupant injuries means less claims paid passed on to you as lower rates. If your Lexus SC 300 is rated at least an “acceptable” rating on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety website or four stars on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website you may be receiving a better rate.
• Prices may be higher where you live – Having an address in a small town has definite advantages when insuring your vehicles. Fewer people translates into fewer accidents as well as less vandalism and auto theft. Drivers who live in large cities have more aggressive driving styles and more time behind the wheel. Longer commute distances means higher likelihood of an accident.
• Liability coverage – The liability coverage on your policy will afford coverage when a jury decides you are liable for causing personal injury or damage in an accident. Your liability coverage provides legal defense coverage up to the limits shown on your policy. Liability insurance is pretty cheap compared to physical damage coverage, so drivers should carry high limits.
• See if your company offers a multi-policy discount – Most major insurance companies allow better rates to buyers that have more than one policy. It’s known as a multi-policy discount. This can amount to ten or even fifteen percent. Even with this discount, it’s in your best interest to compare rates to ensure the best deal.
• Minor frequent auto insurance claims are not good – Auto insurance companies provide cheaper rates to insureds that do not abuse their auto insurance. If you tend to file frequent claims, you can expect either higher rates or even cancellation. Auto insurance is meant to be used in the event of more catestrophic claims.

Which policy gives me the best coverage?

When it comes to choosing coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s needs are different.

For example, these questions might help in determining if your situation may require specific advice.

• Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
• I don’t drive much so do I pay less?
• Will filing a claim cost me more?
• What is roadside assistance coverage?
• Am I better off with higher deductibles on my 1993 Lexus SC 300?
• Do I need replacement cost coverage?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to an agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form.

Big names are not always cheapest

Big name companies like Progressive, Allstate and Geico seem to constantly run ads on TV and radio. All the ads make an identical promise that drivers can save some big amount if you just switch your coverage to them. How do they all make almost identical claims? Just pay attention to how they say it.

Many companies have an ideal profile for the driver that earns them the most money. A good example of this type of risk profile might have to be between the ages of 40 and 55, is a homeowner, and drives a car with an anti-theft system. Someone who fits that profile is entitled to the best price and therefore will save money with a new company.

Potential insureds who fall short of this stringent profile will be quoted higher premium rates which translates to the customer not buying. The trick is to say “drivers that switch” not “everybody who quotes” can save as much as they claim. That’s why insurance companies can make it sound like they have such great car insurance rates. This really illustrates why you need to get insurance quotes as often as possible. Because without a comparison, you cannot know which insurance coverage company will have better rates than you’re paying now.

Insurance coverage basics

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can help you determine which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as vandalism, damage from flooding, hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and theft. The most your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses such as prosthetic devices, chiropractic care and nursing services. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims like damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Lexus SC 300.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. It protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

The best insurance company isn’t always the cheapest

Cheaper 1993 Lexus SC 300 insurance can be bought from both online companies as well as from independent agents, and you should compare rates from both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance providers don’t offer rate quotes online and these smaller companies work with local independent agents.

As you shop your coverage around, you should never buy less coverage just to save a little money. There are many occasions where an accident victim reduced physical damage coverage and learned later that they should have had better coverage. Your goal is to find the BEST coverage at the best possible price, but do not skimp to save money.

Drivers switch companies for a variety of reasons including not issuing a premium refund, unfair underwriting practices, lack of trust in their agent and even delays in responding to claim requests. No matter why you want to switch, choosing a new company is pretty easy and you might even save some money in the process.
