Compare insurance quotes

There are a lot of ways you can shop for insurance but one way is easier and takes less work. You could waste time talking about coverages with insurance agencies in your area, or you can utilize online quoting to quickly compare rates.

Many popular insurance companies participate in a marketplace where insurance shoppers submit their information once, and each participating company returns a competitive quote for coverage. This saves time by eliminating quotation requests for each company you want a rate for.

One minor caviat to doing it this way is that you can’t choose the companies you want to price. So if you prefer to pick individual companies to receive pricing from, we have a listing of companies who write insurance in your area. Click here for list of insurance companies.

The method you choose is up to you, but make sure you compare apples-to-apples information for each quote you get. If your comparisons have unequal deductibles or liability limits it will be next to impossible to determine the best price for your Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When it comes to buying coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For example, these questions might point out whether you will benefit from professional help.

• How high should my medical payments coverage be?
• Do I need higher collision deductibles?
• Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
• Which companies will insure high-risk drivers?
• Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?
• Do I need an umbrella policy?
• Does my medical payments coverage pay my health insurance deductible?
• Should I bundle my homeowners policy with my auto?
• Is a blown tire covered by insurance?
• Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form. It’s fast, free and can provide invaluable advice.

Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of insurance helps when choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers claims such as loss of income, structural damage, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, emergency aid and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers claims like scraping a guard rail, driving through your garage door and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like prosthetic devices, pain medications and funeral costs. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed, damage from flooding and theft. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
