Do drivers who switch really save?

Popular car insurance providers such as State Farm, Allstate and Geico endlessly run ads on TV and radio. All the companies say the same thing that you’ll save big just by switching to their company. How do they all save you money? This is the trick they use.

Most companies have specific guidelines for the right customer that makes them money. For example, a desirable risk might be a married male, owns their home, and has a short commute. Any new insured that hits that “sweet spot” will probably get cheap prices and is almost guaranteed to cut their rates if they switch.

Potential insureds who do not fit the requirements will be quoted higher rates and this can result in business going elsewhere. If you listen closely, the ads state “people who switch” not “all people who quote” can save as much as they claim. That’s why insurance companies can make claims like that.

This really drives home the point why you should compare rate quotes every year. It’s not possible to predict which car insurance company will have the best rates.

What determines Mitsubishi Outlander Sport insurance rates?

Lots of factors are taken into consideration when you quote your car insurance policy. Some factors are common sense such as your driving record, although others are more transparent such as whether you are married and annual miles driven.

• Good credit equals lower prices – A driver’s credit score will be a significant factor in calculating your premium rate. So if your credit rating is not that good, you could potentially save money when insuring your 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport if you improve your credit rating. Insureds that have very good credit scores tend to file fewer claims and have better driving records than drivers with poor credit scores.
• City dwellers may pay more – Choosing to live in a rural area has it’s advantages if you are looking for the lowest rates. Lower population translates into fewer accident claims and also fewer theft and vandalism claims. City drivers have more traffic problems and more severe claims. Longer commute distances statistically corresponds to a higher accident and claim rate.
• Be proud to be claim-free – Car insurance companies give cheaper rates to insureds who only file infrequent claims. If you are the type of insured that files lots of claims you can pretty much guarantee increased rates or even have your policy non-renewed. Your insurance policy is designed for major claims that would cause financial hardship.
• Teen drivers cost more – Inexperience drivers are known to get distracted easily in a vehicle so they pay higher insurance rates. Having to add a inexperienced driver to your insurance policy can cause a big jump in price. More experienced drivers are viewed as being more responsible, tend to cause fewer accidents , and are generally more financially stable.
• Better rates on cars with good safety ratings – Cars with five star safety ratings are cheaper to insure. Vehicles engineered for safety have better occupant injury protection and reduced instances of injuries means your insurance company pays less and cheaper rates on your policy.
• Raise physical damage deductibles and save – Deductibles for physical damage define how much you are willing to pay if a claim is determined to be covered. Protection for physical damage, also called ‘full coverage’, is used to repair damage to your car. Some examples of claims that would be covered are collision with another vehicle, hail damage, and damage caused by road hazards. The higher the amount the insured has to pay upfront, the lower your rates will be for Outlander Sport insurance.
• Pay lower prices if you’re married – Walking down the aisle helps lower the price on your policy. It generally demonstrates drivers are less irresponsible and insurance companies reward insureds because married couples file fewer claims.
• Continuous coverage lowers premiums – Having an insurance coverage lapse can be a quick way to increase your insurance rates. Not only will you pay more, the inability to provide proof of insurance might get you fines or a revoked license.

Get lower rates by earning discounts

Some providers don’t always list every discount very well, so below is a list some of the best known and also the lesser-known discounts that you can inquire about if you buy insurance online. If you’re not getting every credit you qualify for, you may be paying too high a price.

• Accident Waiver – This isn’t a discount exactly, but a handful of insurance companies will turn a blind eye to one accident before raising your premiums with the catch being you have to be claim-free before the accident.
• Pay Upfront and Save – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time rather than paying in monthly installments you can actually save on your bill.
• Low Mileage Discounts – Fewer annual miles on your Mitsubishi could earn lower premium rates on the low mileage vehicles.
• Good Student – Being a good student can earn a discount of 20% or more. This discount can apply well after school through age 25.
• Save over 55 – Seniors can get better auto insurance rates for Outlander Sport insurance.
• Passenger Safety Discount – Factory options such as air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems may earn rate discounts of more than 20%.
• Include Life Insurance and Save – Companies who offer life insurance give a discounted rate on car insurance if you buy some life insurance in addition to your auto policy.
• Multiple Vehicles – Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
• Driver Training Discounts – Taking a defensive driver class could save 5% or more depending on where you live.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears all those discounts means the company will pay you, you aren’t that lucky.

Insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.

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. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability car insurance – This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 100/300/100 which means a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as structural damage, court costs and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills like surgery, funeral costs and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive auto coverage – This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like falling objects, vandalism and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverage – Collision coverage covers damage to your Outlander Sport from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things like hitting a parking meter, damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a ditch and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Don’t be a big spender

You just read a lot of information how to lower your 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport insurance prices. The key concept to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the better chance you’ll have of finding cheap insurance. You may even discover the best prices are with a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising. These smaller insurers may only write in your state and offer lower rates than the large multi-state companies such as State Farm or Progressive.

When trying to cut insurance costs, don’t be tempted to sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In many cases, an insured cut physical damage coverage only to regret at claim time that it was a big mistake. Your aim should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at the best cost, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.
