Looking for better car insurance rates for your GMC Sierra 1500? Finding budget car insurance may at first seem to be intimidating for drivers new to comparing prices on the internet.

Free auto insurance quotes

To get cheap auto insurance quotes, there a variety of ways to compare rate quotes from local auto insurance companies. The fastest way to find affordable 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 insurance rates is simply to get online rate quotes. This can be done using a couple different methods.

Without a doubt, the easiest way to get the best comparison quotes is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This easy form prevents you from having to do boring form submissions to each individual auto insurance company. One form gets coverage cost estimates from all major companies. It’s the fastest way to compare.

A more difficult way to find lower rates requires visiting each company’s website and fill out their own quote form. For example, we’ll pretend you want rates from Geico, Allstate and Liberty Mutual. You would need to navigate to each company’s site and repeatedly type in your coverage information, and that explains why we recommend the first method.

The least recommended way to compare rates is actually driving to local insurance agencies. The fact that you can get quotes online eliminates this option unless you require the professional guidance only provided by licensed agents. You can, however, get the lowest quotes online but have a local agent actually write the policy.

How you compare quotes is your choice, just make sure you are using apples-to-apples coverages and limits with every price quote. If you use different coverage information you will not be able to determine which rate is truly the best. Just slight variations in coverages can mean a large discrepancy in price. And when quoting auto insurance, remember that more quotes gives you a better chance of getting more affordable rates. Not every company does online quotes, so it’s recommended that you also compare prices from them, too.

What is the best auto insurance coverage?

When it comes to buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For example, these questions can help discover if you could use an agent’s help.

• What is an SR-22 filing?
• At what point should I drop full coverage?
• Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
• Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
• Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
• What is no-fault insurance?
• Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 is totaled?
• What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?
• I have a DUI can I still get coverage?

If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

Car insurance coverages explained

Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your GMC Sierra 1500.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle, colliding with a tree and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane, fire damage and hail damage. The most your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for things like pain medications, EMT expenses and funeral costs. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Liability coverages

Liability insurance protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. It protects you from legal claims by others. It does not 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. As an example, you may have limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services, repair costs for stationary objects, pain and suffering and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but buy as much as you can afford.
