The car insurance bait and switch

Consumers can’t ignore all the ads that claim the lowest auto insurance rates by 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm. They all seem to state the claim that drivers will save a bundle after switching your car insurance coverage to their company.

How can each company make the same claim? You have to listen carefully.

Companies have an ideal profile for the type of driver that earns them the most money. An example of a profitable risk profile might be between the ages of 40 and 55, has had continuous coverage, and does not commute to work. Any person who fits those characteristics will qualify for the lowest premium rates and most likely will pay quite a bit less when switching companies.

Potential customers who don’t qualify for this ideal profile will probably have to pay higher premium rates with the end result being business not being written. If you listen closely, the ads state “customers that switch” not “everybody who quotes” will save that much if they switch. That’s the way insurance companies can make it sound like they have such great prices. Because of this risk profiling, you absolutely need to quote coverage with many companies. Because without a comparison, you cannot know with any certainty which company will have the best premium rates at this point in time.

Do you qualify for discounts?

Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but you might find some hidden discounts that may help make it more affordable. Certain credits will be shown when you complete an application, but some discounts are required to be specially asked for in order for you to get them.

• Senior Citizen Discount – If you’re over the age of 55, you may qualify for a small discount on rates on Transit van insurance.
• Organization Discounts – Being a member of a civic or occupational organization could qualify you for a break on your policy.
• Discounts for Federal Employees – Active or former government employment can earn a discount up to 10% on Transit van insurance depending on your car insurance provider.
• Sign Early and Save – A few larger companies offer discounts for switching to them prior to your current policy expiring. You can save around 10% with this discount.
• Telematics Data Discounts – Drivers that enable their insurance company to analyze driving manner by using a telematics device in their vehicle such as In-Drive from State Farm or Allstate’s Drivewise system might get better premium rates if they exhibit good driving behavior.

Discounts reduce rates, but you should keep in mind that most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like collision or personal injury protection. So even though they make it sound like you could get a free car insurance policy, car insurance companies aren’t that generous. But any discount should help reduce your policy premium.

Car insurance companies that may offer quotes with some of the above discounts include:

• State Farm
• Progressive
• Progressive
• MetLife
• Farm Bureau
• Geico
• SAFECO

Before buying, ask each company what discounts are available to you. A few discounts may not apply in your state.

Insurance coverage specifics

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like rock chips in glass, theft and vandalism. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Transit Van caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things such as backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter, sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for X-ray expenses, rehabilitation expenses and ambulance fees. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Liability insurance

Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people, 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. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for claims like medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, pain and suffering, medical expenses and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Save your cold hard cash

When trying to cut insurance costs, do not buy poor coverage just to save money. There have been many situations where consumers will sacrifice uninsured motorist or liability limits only to discover later they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your objective should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the lowest possible cost, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.

Affordable 2016 Ford Transit Van insurance can be sourced on the web and from local agencies, so you should compare both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some insurance providers may not offer price quotes online and most of the time these smaller providers work with independent insurance agencies.
