Your situation helps dictate your coverage
When choosing the best insurance coverage, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different so your insurance should reflect that Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine if your situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

- Am I getting all the discounts available?
- Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
- Is my custom paint covered by insurance?
- Am I covered by my spouse’s policy after a separation?
- What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?

Insurance rates are influenced by these factors
Many different elements are part of the calculation when you quote your car insurance policy. Some factors are common sense such as traffic violations, but other factors are less obvious such as your marital status and annual miles driven.
- Older drivers pay less – Mature drivers are shown to be more cautious, are lower risk to insure and get fewer tickets.Teenage drivers are known to be more careless when driving with friends and because of this, their insurance rates are much higher.
- A good credit rating can save money – An insured’s credit history will be a significant factor in calculating your premium rate. If your credit rating is not that good, you could pay less to insure your 2017 Toyota Yaris iA by improving your credit score. People that have high credit ratings tend to file fewer claims as compared to drivers with poor credit scores.
- Insure car and home with the same company – Most major insurers provide better rates to clients that purchase more than one policy, otherwise known as a multi-policy discount. Even if you qualify for this discount already, it’s always a smart idea to check prices from other companies to make sure you are getting the best deal.
- Only buy coverage you need – There are a lot of extra add-on coverages that you can get tricked into buying if you aren’t careful. Coverages like personal injury protection, towing, and extra equipment coverage may not be needed and are just wasting money. They may seem like a good idea when deciding what coverages you need, but your needs may have changed so remove them and pocket the money.
- Cut premiums and deter theft – Choosing to buy a car with advanced anti-theft systems can help lower your rates. Theft prevention features such as vehicle immobilizer systems, OnStar, and tracking devices like LoJack all help prevent car theft and help bring rates down.
- Pay more if you have a long commute – Being located in small towns and rural areas may provide you with better prices when insuring your vehicles. People in densly populated areas have more auto accidents and more time behind the wheel. Less people living in that area means reduced accidents and a lower car theft rate.
- Prices also based on gender – Over time, data shows that men are more aggressive behind the wheel. However, don’t assume that women are BETTER drivers than men. Women and men get in auto accidents at a similar rate, but the men tend to have more serious accidents. In addition to higher claims, males also receive more costly citations like DUI and reckless driving.
- File a insurance claims and pay more – Car insurance companies award the best rates to drivers who are not frequent claim filers. If you are the type of insured that files lots of claims you can expect either policy cancellation or increased premiums. Your car insurance is designed for larger claims.
Insurance coverage in the media
Consumers can’t avoid all the ads that claim the lowest prices from the likes of Progressive, Geico, Allstate and State Farm. All the companies say the same thing that you can save if you switch your policy.
How is it plausible that every one can charge you a lower premium? It’s all in the wording.
Different companies have specific guidelines for the type of driver that will not have excessive claims. One example of a profitable risk profile could possibly be over the age of 50, is a homeowner, and drives a vehicle with a low ISO rating. Someone who matches that profile will get a cheap rate quote and most likely will cut their rates substantially.
Drivers who may not quite match the “perfect” profile may receive a higher rate which usually ends up with the customer not buying. The trick is to say “drivers who switch” not “everyone that quotes” can get the lowest rates when switching. That is how insurance companies can confidently make the claims of big savings. This really emphasizes why drivers should compare free car insurance quotes often. It’s impossible to know with any certainty which company will have the lowest rates.

Parts of your insurance policy
Having a good grasp of insurance aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.
Medical costs insurance – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for expenses for things like prosthetic devices, rehabilitation expenses, X-ray expenses, dental work and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like a broken windshield, damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed, fire damage and theft. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Liability coverages – This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for things like funeral expenses, attorney fees, medical services and court costs. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Collision – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
UM/UIM Coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Toyota Yaris iA.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.
Power to the consumer
When buying insurance coverage, do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are a lot of situations where someone dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time they didn’t have enough coverage. The aim is to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
More affordable insurance coverage is available on the web and from local agencies, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some insurance coverage companies do not offer rate quotes online and most of the time these smaller companies prefer to sell through independent agencies.
