Are you tired of paying out the nose to make your auto insurance payment? You’re in the same situation as millions of other drivers. Drivers have multiple insurers to pick from, and although it’s nice to be able to choose, it makes it harder to find the lowest rates.
You need to shop coverage around yearly due to the fact that insurance prices are usually higher with each renewal. If you had the lowest rates for 850 coverage on your last policy you will most likely find a better rate quote today. You can find a lot of wrong information about auto insurance on the internet, but I’m going to show you some guaranteed methods to find cheap auto insurance.
Do you qualify for discount car insurance?
Buying car insurance is not cheap, but you can get discounts that can help lower your rates. Many discounts should be triggered when you get a quote, but some need to be asked about in order for you to get them.
- Discount for Good Grades – Performing well in school may save as much as 25% on a car insurance quote. You can use this discount normally well after school through age 25.
- No Claim Discounts – Insureds with no claims or accidents can earn big discounts when compared to drivers with a long claim history.
- Discount for Multiple Policies – If you combine your auto and homeowners policies and place coverage with the same company you could save at least 10 to 15 percent or more.
- Homeowners Discount – Just being a homeowner can save a few bucks because maintaining a house demonstrates responsibility.
- Student in College – Kids who attend college more than 100 miles from home and don’t have a car could qualify for this discount.
- Paperless Signup – A few larger online companies will give a small break get car insurance on your computer.
- Payment Method – By making one initial payment instead of paying each month you may have a lower total premium amount.
It’s important to note that most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. Some only reduce individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. If you do the math and it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business.

Buy insurance online
Finding cheap 1997 Volvo 850 insurance rates is actually quite simple. All that’s required is to invest a few minutes to get quotes to find. Comparing prices online can be done using a couple different methods.
- One of the fastest ways to get quotes is a comparison rater form (click to open form in new window). This quick form eliminates the need for boring form submissions for each company you want a rate for. One simple form will return price quotes from all major companies.
- A harder way to compare prices consists of going to each company website and fill out their own quote form. For sake of this example, let’s assume you want to compare Farmers, Safeco and Allstate. To do that, you would have to go to every website to enter your coverage information, which is not fast way to get rate quotes.

- If you have time to kill, the last way to get price estimates is making phone calls or going to local insurance agencies. Quoting online can eliminate the need for a local agent unless you have a need for the professional guidance of a local agency. Drivers can compare the best prices online but buy the policy through an agent.
It’s up to you which method you use, but try to keep apples-to-apples coverage information with each company. If you compare different limits and deductibles on each one it will be impossible to determine the best price for your Volvo 850.
What insurance coverages do I need?
When buying the right insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Each situation is unique and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. These are some specific questions can aid in determining whether you may require specific advice.
- Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
- Are my friends covered when driving my car?
- Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
- What is high-risk coverage and where do I buy it?
- Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
- Are my tools covered if they get stolen from my vehicle?
- Can I rate high risk drivers on liability-only vehicles?
- Should I rate my 1997 Volvo 850 as pleasure use or commute?
If you can’t answer these questions, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.
Detailed coverages of your insurance policy
Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
Collision coverage – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for claims like colliding with a tree, crashing into a building, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Liability coverage – Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for things such as loss of income, pain and suffering, bail bonds and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hail damage, falling objects, theft and hitting a bird. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for bills for things like surgery, ambulance fees, pain medications and hospital visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

More effort can pay off
Affordable 1997 Volvo 850 insurance can be purchased online and with local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who don’t offer online rate quotes and most of the time these smaller companies sell through local independent agents.
When shopping online for auto insurance, it’s very important that you do not reduce needed coverages to save money. There are many occasions where consumers will sacrifice comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your strategy should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the best cost, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.
In this article, we covered many ways to shop for 1997 Volvo 850 insurance online. It’s most important to understand that the more quotes you get, the higher the chance of saving money. Drivers may discover the best car insurance rates are with a small mutual company. Some small companies may have significantly lower premium rates on certain market segments compared to the large companies like State Farm and Allstate.
