Forget all the misinformation about auto insurance because you’re about to learn the only way to get good coverage at a lower rate.
How to compare car insurance quotes
Shopping for lower car insurance rates can be challenging if you don’t utilize the most efficient way to do it. You could waste time driving to agents in your area, or you can utilize online quotes to quickly compare rates.
Most of the best insurance companies participate in an industry program that enables customers to send in one quote, and each company then gives them pricing based on the submitted data. This prevents consumers from doing quote requests to each individual car insurance company. To fill out one form to compare multiple rates now click here to open in new window.
The only drawback to pricing coverage this way is buyers cannot specifically choose which carriers you will receive quotes from. So if you prefer to pick from a list of companies to request quotes from, we put together a list of companies who write car insurance in your area. Click to view list.
Which method you use is up to you, but be sure to compare the exact same coverage data with every price quote. If each company quotes different coverage information you will not be able to determine the best price for your Chevy Express.

Auto insurance discounts are available to reduce your rates
Auto insurance is neither fun to buy or cheap, but there could be available discounts that many people don’t even know exist. Some discounts will apply when you get a quote, but some may not be applied and must be manually applied before being credited.
- Multi-line Discount – Not every insurance company offers life insurance, but if they do you may earn a break if you buy life insurance.
- Good Students Pay Less – Getting good grades may save as much as 25% on a insurance coverage quote. The good student discount can last up until you turn 25.
- New Vehicle Savings – Buying a new car model can get you a discount since newer models are generally safer.
- Theft Deterent Discount – Cars optioned with advanced anti-theft systems have a lower chance of being stolen and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
- Safety Course Discount – Taking time to complete a class that teaches safe driver techniques may get you a small discount and easily recoup the cost of the course.
- Low Mileage Discounts – Maintaining low annual mileage could qualify for substantially lower auto insurancerates.
- Cautious Driver Discount – Drivers without accidents can save as much as half off their rates on Express coverage than their less cautious counterparts.
- Save with More Vehicles Insured – Buying a policy with all your vehicles on a single policy qualifies for this discount.
- Lower Rates for Military – Being on active duty in the military could be rewarded with lower prices.
- Data Collection Discounts – Drivers who agree to allow driving data submission to look at vehicle usage through the use of a telematics system such as Drivewise from Allstate or Snapshot from Progressive may get a rate reduction if they exhibit good driving behavior.
It’s important to understand that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as comprehensive or collision. So despite the fact that it appears you would end up receiving a 100% discount, that’s just not realistic.
The best auto insurance companies and their offered discounts are detailed below.
- Farmers Insurance discounts include alternative fuel, bundle discounts, good student, youthful driver, distant student, early shopping, and multi-car.
- State Farm offers discounts for student away at school, Drive Safe & Save, good driver, multiple autos, accident-free, driver’s education, and passive restraint.

Find cheaper car insurance with these tips
The best way to find cheaper car insurance is to take a look at some of the things that are used to determine the rates you pay for car insurance. If you understand what impacts premium levels, this enables informed choices that can help you get much lower annual insurance costs.
- Deter theft and pay less – Choosing to buy a car with an alarm system can earn a premium discount. Theft prevention devices such as vehicle immobilizer systems, General Motors OnStar and LoJack tracking systems can help prevent car theft.
- Poor credit score equals high costs – Having a bad credit score is a large factor in determining what you pay for car insurance. If your credit rating is low, you could pay less to insure your 2003 Chevrolet Express if you clean up your credit. Consumers who have very high credit ratings tend to be more responsible and file fewer claims than drivers who have poor credit.
- Do you know your physical damage deductibles? – Coverage for physical damage, also called comprehensive and collision insurance, insures against damage to your Chevy. A few examples of covered claims are a broken windshield, vandalism, and damage caused by flying debris. Physical damage deductibles are the amount of money you are willing to pay before your car insurance pays a claim. The more damage repair cost you’re willing to pay, the lower your rates will be on Express coverage.
- Youthful vs. experienced drivers – Older insureds are more responsible, statistically cause fewer accidents and are safer drivers.Beginning drivers are known to get distracted easily when at the wheel of a vehicle therefore car insurance rates are much higher.
- Policy add-ons can waste money – There are quite a few extra add-on coverages you can purchase if you don’t pay attention. Insurance for rental car coverage, death and dismemberment, and Farm Bureau memberships may be costing you every month. They may seem like a good idea when talking to your agent, but if they’re wasting money think about removing them and cutting costs.
Everyone needs different insurance coverage coverages
When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage, there is no one size fits all plan. Every insured’s situation is different.
For instance, these questions could help you determine if you will benefit from professional help.
- What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
- Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
- Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
- How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
- I have health insurance so do I need medical payments coverage?
- Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
- When should I buy a commercial auto policy?
- Do I need replacement cost coverage on my 2003 Chevy Express?
- How can I find cheaper teen driver insurance?
- Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and may give you better protection.

Coverages available on your auto insurance policy
Learning about specific coverages of auto insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Chevy Express.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Comprehensive auto insurance – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like a broken windshield, hitting a deer, hail damage and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Coverage for medical expenses – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for expenses for doctor visits, X-ray expenses and EMT expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision coverages – This covers damage to your Express caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for things such as scraping a guard rail, crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Coverage for liability – Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability can pay for things like repair costs for stationary objects, medical expenses, loss of income, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.
At the end of the day…
Insureds switch companies for a number of reasons such as high prices, denial of a claim, delays in paying claims and even lack of trust in their agent. Regardless of your reason, choosing a new insurance company is not as difficult as it may seem.
Lower-priced 2003 Chevy Express insurance can be sourced on the web in addition to many insurance agents, so you should compare both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance providers do not offer rate quotes online and usually these smaller providers only sell coverage through independent agencies.
When getting insurance coverage quotes online, it’s not a good idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. There are many occasions where someone dropped physical damage coverage only to regret at claim time that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your focus should be to buy enough coverage at the best cost while not skimping on critical coverages.
