How to shop insurance coverage online

All major insurance coverage companies allow you to get price estimates directly from their websites. Comparing prices online is pretty painless as you simply type in the coverages you want into the quote form. Once you submit the form, the company’s rating system obtains information on your driving record and credit history and generates a price based on the information you submitted. This makes it easy to compare insurance prices but the process of having to visit a lot of sites and type in the same information can be a bit repetitive. But it’s also necessary to perform this step in order to find lower prices.

The preferred way to locate the lowest prices requires only one form that gets price quotes from several companies at one time. It’s a real time-saver, requires much less work on your part, and makes price shopping online much more enjoyable and efficient.

Insurance coverage companies offer lots of discounts

Some insurers don’t list every disount available in an easy-to-find place, so the next list breaks down a few of the more common and also the more inconspicuous ways to save on insurance coverage.

• Anti-lock Brake System – Cars and trucks with ABS and/or traction control can reduce accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
• Smart Student Discounts – This discount can save 20 to 25%. The good student discount can last up until you turn 25.
• Passive Restraints – Cars that have air bags may get savings of 20 to 30 percent.
• Low Mileage Discounts – Keeping the miles down on your Buick could be rewarded with discounted prices on garaged vehicles.
• Homeowners Savings – Just owning your own home can save you money since owning and maintaining a home is proof that your finances are in order.
• Organization Discounts – Joining qualifying employment or professional organizations may earn a discount on insurance coverage.
• Senior Discount – Drivers over the age of 55 can get better insurance coverage rates for Park Avenue insurance.
• Military Discounts – Having a family member in the military may lower your premium rates slightly.

Discounts reduce rates, but you should keep in mind that many deductions do not apply to the entire cost. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. If you do the math and it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, nobody gets a free ride. Any qualifying discounts should help lower the cost of coverage.

Do I just need basic coverages?

When choosing the right insurance coverage, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Everyone’s situation is unique and your policy should reflect that. Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining whether you could use an agent’s help.

• What is UM/UIM insurance?
• Do I have coverage when pulling a U-Haul trailer?
• Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
• Does my personal policy cover me when driving out-of-state?
• Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
• Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
• When should I remove comp and collision on my 1996 Buick Park Avenue?
• Am I missing any policy discounts?
• Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?

If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area.

Specific coverage details

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird, fire damage and theft. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for things such as attorney fees, bail bonds, court costs and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision protection

This coverage pays for damage to your Park Avenue caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for things such as damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses for nursing services, ambulance fees, dental work, hospital visits and X-ray expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Buick Park Avenue.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Most of the time these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
