Lower Your 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage Insurance Rates

Feeling guilty for buying an overpriced car insurance policy? Believe me, you’re not alone.

Many insurance companies vie for your hard-earned dollar, and it can be difficult to compare rates to find the best price available.

You should make it a habit to compare rates once or twice a year since prices are variable and change quite frequently. Even if you got the best rate on Mirage coverage last year there may be better deals available now. Ignore everything you know about car insurance because we’re going to show you the things you must know in order to properly buy coverages and cut your premium.

Shop auto insurance online

To find low cost insurance quotes, there are several ways to get quotes from different companies. The best way to do a complete rate comparison is to get quotes online. This is quite simple and can be completed by using one of the methods below.

• Probably the best way to compare a lot of rates at once is an all-inclusive rate comparison like this one (opens in new window). This easy form keeps you from doing separate quote forms for each company. A single form gets you price quotes from auto insurance companies with the best prices.
• A more difficult way to find more affordable insurance requires you to visit the website for every company you want to comare and complete a new quote form. For sake of this example, let’s say you are doing a rate comparison from Progressive, Farmers and Liberty Mutual. In order to compare rates, you need to visit each site and punch in your information repeatedly, and that explains why we recommend the first method.

How you compare quotes is your choice, just do your best to enter equivalent coverages on every quote you get. If you compare different data then you won’t be able to make a fair comparison for your Mitsubishi Mirage. Just slight variations in insurance coverages or limits can make a big difference in price. Just remember that more quotes helps increase your odds of locating more affordable rates. Not every company does quotes online, so it’s important to compare quotes from them as well.

Tailor your insurance coverage coverage to you

When buying the best insurance coverage coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Every situation is different so this has to be addressed. For example, these questions might help in determining if your situation would benefit from professional advice.

• Is my trailer covered?
• Am I covered if hit by an uninsured driver?
• Am I covered if my car is in a flood?
• How can I find cheaper teen driver insurance?
• Are rental cars covered under my policy?
• Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
• Can I rent a car in Mexico?
• What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?
• How can I get my company to pay me more for my totalled car?
• Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Auto insurance coverage options for a Mitsubishi Mirage

Having a good grasp of auto insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.

Collision protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Mirage resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things like hitting a mailbox, crashing into a ditch, driving through your garage door, damaging your car on a curb and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Auto liability

Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show values of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things like damage from flooding, vandalism, rock chips in glass and hail damage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Mitsubishi Mirage.

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. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for expenses for doctor visits, prosthetic devices and EMT expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
