Many insurance companies vie for your hard-earned dollar, so it’s not easy to compare every insurer to get the lowest rate

It is always a good idea to do price comparisons quite often because rates change frequently.

Are you getting every discount?

Car insurance companies don’t always advertise all their discounts very well, so here is a list a few of the more well known as well as some of the hidden discounts that you can inquire about if you buy insurance coverage online. If you do not double check each discount possible, you are not getting the best rate possible.

• Student Discounts – Maintaining excellent grades can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. This discount can apply well after school through age 25.
• College Student – College-age children who are enrolled in higher education away from home and won’t have access to an insured vehicle can receive lower rates.
• Senior Discount – If you’re over the age of 55, you could receive better auto insurance rates for Jetta insurance.
• Clubs and Organizations – Participating in a professional or civic organization could earn you a nice discount on your policy.
• Theft Deterent Discount – Cars, trucks, and SUVs with anti-theft systems have a lower chance of being stolen so companies will give you a small discount.
• Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could cut 10% or more on the premium charged for medical payments and/or PIP.
• Student Driver Training – Require your teen driver to enroll and complete driver’s education in school or through a local driver safety program.
• Discounts for Safe Drivers – Safe drivers may save up to 50% more for Jetta insurance than their less cautious counterparts.

You can save money using discounts, but many deductions do not apply the the whole policy. Some only reduce individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Despite the appearance that it’s possible to get free car insurance, you’re out of luck.

When in doubt talk to an agent

When it comes to choosing the best car insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Every situation is different and your policy should reflect that. These are some specific questions might help in determining whether you might need professional guidance.

• Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
• Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
• How can I get my company to pay me more for my totalled car?
• What is no-fault insurance?
• How high should deductibles be on a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta?
• How much can I save by bundling my policies?
• Is my babysitter covered when using my vehicle?
• Do I need replacement cost coverage?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Auto insurance coverages

Knowing the specifics of auto insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are typical coverage types found on the average auto insurance policy.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses like rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits, chiropractic care and hospital visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass and hitting a bird. The maximum amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 2005 Volkswagen Jetta.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things such as damaging your car on a curb, sideswiping another vehicle, backing into a parked car, colliding with a tree and hitting a mailbox. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability coverage – Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical expenses and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but buy as much as you can afford.
