If you are a novice to online car insurance shopping, most likely you are confused due to the large selection local agents and online companies that all promise to save you money.

It’s a good idea to take a look at other company’s rates as often as possible because rates change quite often. Even if you got the best rate for Tucson coverage a few years ago you will most likely find a better price today. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about car insurance because you’re about to find out the fastest and easiest way to properly buy coverages while reducing your premium.

How to get car insurance quotes

There are a lot of ways you can shop for car insurance and some are easier and takes less work. You could spend your day driving to insurance agencies in your area, or you can stay home and use the web to get prices fast.

Most of the larger companies are enrolled in a marketplace that enables customers to send in one quote, and every company can give them a price based on the submitted data. This prevents consumers from doing repetitive form submissions to each individual car insurance company.

The only downside to pricing coverage this way is that you can’t choose which providers to receive prices from. So if you want to choose specific insurance companies to compare prices, we have a listing of the cheapest car insurance companies in your area. View list of insurance companies.

How you compare quotes is your choice, just try to keep the same coverage data on every quote you get. If your comparisons have different deductibles you can’t possibly determine the best price for your Hyundai Tucson. Just slight variations in coverage limits can make a big difference in price. Just remember that comparing a wide range of rates will increase your chances of finding a lower rate.

Take policy discounts and save

Companies offering auto insurance don’t always advertise every possible discount in a way that’s easy to find, so the next list breaks down both well-publicized and also the lesser-known discounts that you can inquire about if you buy car insurance online.

• Bundle and Save – If you combine your auto and home policies and insure them both with the same insurance company you may earn at least 10 to 15 percent or more.
• Homeowners Discount – Owning your own home or condo can earn you a little savings due to the fact that maintaining a home is proof of financial responsibility.
• Good Student Discount – This discount may save as much as 25% on a car insurance quote. You can use this discount normally until age 25.
• Theft Prevention System – Vehicles that have factory alarm systems and tracking devices prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10% off your car insurance quote.
• Discounts for Federal Employees – Federal government employees could provide a small rate reduction for Tucson coverage with certain companies.
• Safety Restraint Discount – Forcing all vehicle occupants to wear their seat belts can save a little on medical payment and PIP coverage.

A quick disclaimer, many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only reduce individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So when the math indicates all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

The best car insurance companies and a partial list of their discounts are shown below.

• American Family includes discounts for multi-vehicle, good driver, Steer into Savings, accident-free, and TimeAway discount.
• Nationwide may have discounts that include good student, anti-theft, easy pay, business or organization, and accident-free.
• MetLife has savings for multi-policy, accident-free, defensive driver, claim-free, and good driver.
• 21st Century has discounts for early bird, defensive driver, homeowners, teen driver, air bags, and driver training.
• Farmers Insurance may include discounts for bundle discounts, early shopping, business and professional, good student, electronic funds transfer, and homeowner.
• Allstate offers discounts including good payer, eSmart discount, senior citizen, anti-theft, utility vehicle, and farm vehicle.

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

Which policy gives me the best coverage?

When it comes to choosing the best insurance coverage coverage, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Every situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining whether you will benefit from professional help.

• Should I file a claim if it’s only slightly more than my deductible?
• Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
• Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
• When can I cancel my policy?
• Do I need more liability coverage?
• Can I rate high risk drivers on liability-only vehicles?

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, simply complete this short form.

Coverages available on your policy

Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Auto insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices, funeral costs and pain medications. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your Tucson from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers claims such as backing into a parked car, rolling your car, scraping a guard rail and crashing into a building. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as bail bonds, pain and suffering and court costs. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Hyundai Tucson.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive auto insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like theft, damage from getting keyed, hitting a bird and falling objects. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
