Ways to get insurance coverage price quotes

When shopping for insurance coverage there are multiple ways to compare prices from local insurance coverage companies. The simplest method to find the lowest 2008 Honda Element rates is to get quotes online. It is quite easy and can be accomplished in a couple minutes as outlined below.

1. The single most time-saving way to get quotes is a comparison rater form (click to open form in new window). This type of form saves time by eliminating a different quote for every company. Taking the time to complete one form gets insurance cost estimates from several companies.
2. A slightly less efficient method to get comparison quotes is to manually visit each company’s website and fill out their own quote form. For example, we’ll pretend you want rates from State Farm, Farmers and Liberty Mutual. To get rate quotes you would need to go to each individual site and repeatedly type in your coverage information, which is not fast way to get rate quotes.

Insurance policy specifics

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on the average insurance policy.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills for hospital visits, X-ray expenses and dental work. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Element from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things like damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter, rolling your car and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from 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 insurance covers claims like hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, a broken windshield and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto liability

This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as legal defense fees, bail bonds, funeral expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.
