How to compare car insurance quotes

There are several ways to compare car insurance quotes, and some are easier and takes less work. You could spend the better part of a day driving to insurance companies in your area, or you can stay home and use the web to get prices fast.

Most car insurance companies belong to a marketplace that enables customers to submit their information once, and at least one company can provide price quotes based on that information. This saves time by eliminating quotation requests for each company you want a rate for.

The only downside to getting quotes like this is you can’t choose the insurers you want to price. If you would rather choose specific insurance companies to compare rates, we have a page of companies who write car insurance in your area. Click here for list of insurance companies.

You can choose any of those ways to find more affodable coverage, but ensure you’re using apples-to-apples coverages and limits with each company. If you compare different data it’s not possible to determine the best price for your Jeep Liberty.

Get cheaper insurance coverage quotes with discounts

Insurance coverage is not an enjoyable expense, but you may be missing some discounts that many consumers don’t even know exist. Some discounts will apply when you complete an application, but some discounts are required to be asked about in order for you to get them.

• Seat Belt Usage – Drivers who require all occupants to fasten their seat belts can save up to 10 percent (depending on the company) off PIP or medical payments premium.
• Anti-theft Discount – Cars, trucks, and SUVs that have factory anti-theft systems have a lower chance of being stolen and will save you 10% or more.
• E-sign Discounts – A few larger online companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks for buying your policy on the web.
• Cautious Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents may save up to 50% more for Liberty insurance compared to rates paid by drivers with frequent claims.
• Driver’s Education for Students – Require your teen driver to take driver’s ed class if it’s offered in school.

As a sidenote, most of the big mark downs will not be given the the whole policy. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. Despite the appearance that it’s possible to get free car insurance, it doesn’t quite work that way.

Larger insurance coverage companies and some of the premium reductions they offer are shown below.

• State Farm may have discounts that include accident-free, defensive driving training, good student, driver’s education, Steer Clear safe driver discount, multiple autos, and anti-theft.
• Progressive may offer discounts for homeowner, continuous coverage, online signing, multi-vehicle, good student, online quote discount, and multi-policy.
• Travelers offers discounts including good student, multi-car, new car, payment discounts, hybrid/electric vehicle, continuous insurance, and early quote.
• American Family policyholders can earn discounts including Steer into Savings, mySafetyValet, good driver, good student, air bags, early bird, and bundled insurance.
• Liberty Mutual offers premium reductions for multi-policy, newly married, teen driver discount, good student, new move discount, and exclusive group savings.

Before buying, ask every prospective company how many discounts you can get. Savings may not apply to policyholders in every state.

Tailor your insurance coverage coverage to you

When choosing the best insurance coverage coverage, there isn’t really a perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s situation is unique.

For instance, these questions might help in determining if you may require specific advice.

• What exactly is covered by my policy?
• Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
• Which is better, split liability limits or combined limits?
• Are rental cars covered under my policy?
• Are there companies who specialize in insuring high-risk drivers?
• Are my friends covered when driving my car?
• Is business equipment covered while in my vehicle?
• Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?
• How does medical payments coverage work?
• Can I afford to pay high deductible claims out of pocket?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form. It’s fast, free and can help protect your family.

Auto insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of your policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. Auto insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Jeep Liberty.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Usually these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, court costs, medical services and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, pain medications, X-ray expenses and chiropractic care. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like hitting a deer, theft and damage from flooding. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto collision coverage

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

Collision can pay for claims like damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
