How much does car insurance cost?

Performing a rate comparison is a ton of work if you don’t understand the most efficient way to do it. You could spend your day talking to insurance companies in your area, or you could save time and use online quotes to get prices fast.

Most major companies participate in an industry program that allows shoppers to enter their policy data once, and every company then gives them pricing determined by their information. This prevents consumers from doing quote requests to every company.

How you compare quotes is your choice, just ensure you’re using apples-to-apples information for every quote you compare. If you compare different values for each quote it will be next to impossible to determine which company has the best rates.

Lower rates by qualifying for discounts

Insurance can be pricey, but there may be some discounts that can dramatically reduce your bill. Some trigger automatically when you complete an application, but a few must be asked about before they will apply.

• Driver Education Discount – It’s a good idea to have your young drivers sucessfully take a drivers education course in high school.
• Passive Restraint Discount – Vehicles equipped with air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems may qualify for discounts of 20 to 30 percent.
• Cautious Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents may save up to 50% more for Savana coverage than less cautious drivers.
• Government Employee Discount – Being employed by or retired from a federal job can save as much as 8% for Savana coverage with a few insurance companies.
• Save with More Vehicles Insured – Insuring multiple cars with one company could earn a price break for each car.

As is typical with insurance, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire cost. Most only cut specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. Even though it may seem like adding up those discounts means a free policy, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business. But any discount will help lower the premium cost.

A list of insurance companies and the discounts they provide are outlined below.

• Geico may offer discounts for federal employee, five-year accident-free, driver training, multi-policy, and anti-theft.
• Travelers offers premium reductions for payment discounts, student away at school, multi-policy, early quote, and driver training.
• Nationwide includes discounts for multi-policy, defensive driving, anti-theft, accident-free, good student, and family plan.
• Farmers Insurance may have discounts that include business and professional, homeowner, switch companies, good student, and early shopping.
• Esurance discounts include good driver, online quote, defensive driver, online shopper, and homeowner.
• State Farm has savings for multiple policy, anti-theft, student away at school, defensive driving training, and good driver.
• Progressive has discounts for multi-policy, good student, multi-vehicle, continuous coverage, and online quote discount.
• Mercury Insurance offers discounts including age of vehicle, good driver, professional/association, annual mileage, ease of repair, and low natural disaster claims.

When comparing rates, check with each company or agent the best way to save money. Depending on the company, some discounts may not apply in your area.

Insurance coverage considerations

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive protection

This pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as hitting a deer, falling objects and fire damage. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Collision coverage protection

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, colliding with a tree, hitting a mailbox and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical expense coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses like X-ray expenses, pain medications, dental work and hospital visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Liability coverage

Liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people, 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, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers things such as legal defense fees, funeral expenses, repair costs for stationary objects, bail bonds and court costs. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
