The method you choose is up to you, but ensure you are comparing exactly the same quote data on every price quote you get. If each company quotes different liability limits you can’t possibly get a fair rate comparison.

You may qualify for discounts

Insurance coverage is not inexpensive, but you can get discounts that you may not even know about. Some trigger automatically at the time of quoting, but a few need to be inquired about before you get the savings. If you check and find you aren’t receiving every discount possible, you could be paying more than you need to.

• Include Life Insurance and Save – If the company offers life insurance, you could get a small discount if you purchase some life insurance in addition to your auto policy.
• Paperless Signup – Certain insurance coverage companies will give you a small discount get insurance coverage digitally online.
• Renewal Discounts – Select insurance coverage companies give a discount for renewing your policy prior to your current policy expiration. This can save 10% or more.
• Discounts for New Vehicles – Buying a new car instead of a used car is cheaper because new model year vehicles keep occupants safer.
• Early Payment Discounts – If you pay your bill all at once instead of making monthly payments you can avoid the installment charge.
• Professional Organizations – Having an affiliation with specific professional or occupational memberships or organizations could trigger savings on your policy.
• Active Military Service – Being deployed with a military unit could trigger a small discount.
• Passive Restraint Discount – Options like air bags may get savings of up to 25% or more.

Don’t be surprised that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Most only reduce specific coverage prices like liability and collision coverage. So even though you would think all the discounts add up to a free policy, it just doesn’t work that way.

A few companies who might offer these benefits include:

• State Farm
• Geico
• Allstate
• SAFECO
• Farm Bureau
• Progressive
• AAA

When getting free insurance coverage quotes, it’s a good idea to all companies you are considering which discounts you may be entitled to. Depending on the company, some discounts may not apply everywhere.

Coverages available on your policy

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Collision coverages – Collision insurance covers damage to your NV resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like driving through your garage door, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with another moving vehicle and sideswiping another vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

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

Comprehensive insurance covers things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, falling objects and a broken windshield. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Auto liability – Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers claims like bail bonds, court costs, legal defense fees, repair costs for stationary objects and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy higher limits if possible.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses like chiropractic care, EMT expenses and nursing services. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Normally these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
