Cheapest insurance coverage quotes

Getting a cheaper price on 1998 Chevy C/K 1500 Series insurance is not a difficult process. Drivers just need to take the time comparing price quotes to discover which company has affordable insurance quotes. This can be accomplished using a couple different methods.

1. Experts agree that the best way to find low rates is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This method saves time by eliminating separate quote forms for every prospective company. One simple form gets you price quotes from many national carriers. This is by far the quickest method.
2. Another way to get quotes online is to take the time to go to the website for every company you want to comare to complete their respective quote request forms. For instance, we’ll pretend you are doing a rate comparison from USAA, Liberty Mutual and Travelers. In order to get each rate, you would have to spend time on each company’s site and repeatedly type in your coverage information, which can get rather old.

3. The least recommended method to get rate quotes is calling or driving to insurance agents’ offices. Quoting online eliminates the middleman unless you’re the type of person who wants the professional guidance that can only be provided by a licensed insurance agent. You can, however, get the lowest quotes online but have your policy serviced through an agent.

You can choose any of those ways to find more affodable coverage, but double check that you are using nearly identical coverages and limits for each price quote. If your comparisons have different limits and deductibles on each one it will be next to impossible to determine which rate is truly the best.

It’s not one size fits all

When it comes to buying coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For example, these questions can aid in determining if your insurance needs might need an agent’s assistance.

• Can I get a multi-policy discount?
• Am I missing any policy discounts?
• Is my teen driver covered when they drive my company car?
• Do I need medical payments coverage since I have good health insurance?
• Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
• How much liability insurance is required?
• Do I benefit by insuring my home with the same company?
• Do I need roadside assistance coverage?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form. It’s fast, free and you can get the answers you need.

Information about specific coverages

Understanding the coverages of car insurance helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from flooding, damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism and theft. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability coverage – This will cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and medical services. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage – This pays for damage to your C/K 1500 Series from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like damaging your car on a curb, driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 1998 Chevy C/K 1500 Series.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for chiropractic care, EMT expenses, dental work and X-ray expenses. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
