Auto insurance quotes comparison

There are a variety of methods to compare auto insurance prices and some are easier and takes less work. You can waste a lot of time discussing policy coverages with insurance companies in your area, or you could use the web to maximize your effort.

Many insurance companies belong to an insurance system where insurance shoppers enter their policy data once, and at least one company provides a quote based on that information. This prevents consumers from doing form submissions for every auto insurance company.

Discounts can really help lower premiums

Some insurers don’t list the complete list of policy discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the list below gives a summary of a few of the more common as well as the least known savings tricks you should be using when you buy insurance coverage online.

• Low Mileage – Low mileage vehicles can earn discounted premium rates on garaged vehicles.
• Pay Now and Pay Less – By making one initial payment instead of making monthly payments you can avoid monthly service charges.
• Discounts for Cautious Drivers – Insureds who avoid accidents can pay as much as 50% less for Ridgeline coverage than drivers with accidents.
• Bundle and Save – If you have multiple policies with one insurance company you could get a discount of over 10 percent off each policy depending on the company.
• Passenger Safety Discount – Vehicles with factory air bags or motorized seat belts can get savings up to 30%.
• New Vehicle Savings – Adding a new car to your policy can save you some money because newer vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
• Telematics Devices – Policyholders that allow their company to scrutinize driving habits by using a telematics device in their vehicle like Drivewise from Allstate or In-Drive from State Farm could possibly reduce rates as long as they are good drivers.
• Paperwork-free – A few larger online companies may give you up to $50 simply for signing on their website.
• Anti-theft System – Cars equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems can help prevent theft and earn discounts up to 10% off your insurance coverage quote.

Don’t be surprised that many deductions do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. Even though it may seem like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it just doesn’t work that way. But all discounts should definitely cut the amount you have to pay.

Companies that may offer quotes with these benefits are:

• Geico
• Mercury Insurance
• Farmers Insurance
• Auto-Owners Insurance
• Liberty Mutual
• SAFECO
• Progressive
• USAA

When quoting, ask all companies you are considering which discounts they offer. Some of the earlier mentioned discounts may not apply in your area. If you would like to see a list of car insurance companies with discount car insurance rates, follow this link.

Will just any policy work for me?

When buying the best auto insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s situation is a little different.

These are some specific questions can aid in determining if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.

• Are there companies who specialize in insuring high-risk drivers?
• Do I have coverage if my license is suspended?
• Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
• Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
• Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
• When do I need to add a new car to my policy?
• Why is insurance for a teen driver so high?
• Will filing a claim cost me more?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form. It only takes a few minutes and can provide invaluable advice.

Auto insurance policy specifics

Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like hitting a deer, damage from flooding, rock chips in glass, hail damage and vandalism. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability

This protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage protects against things such as loss of income, emergency aid, medical services and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Honda Ridgeline.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses like X-ray expenses, chiropractic care and nursing services. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Ridgeline from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims like rolling your car, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
