Forget anything you know (or think you know) about insurance coverage because you’re about to learn the tricks you need to know to remove unneeded coverages and save money.

Which insurance is cheapest?

Shopping for lower insurance rates can be a lot of work if you don’t understand the fastest way to get free quotes. You can waste a few hours (or days) talking about coverages with agents in your area, or you can stay home and use online quoting to achieve your goal.

Many companies belong to an insurance system where prospective buyers submit their information once, and each participating company can give them a price based on that information. This prevents consumers from doing form submissions to each individual insurance company.

To use this form to compare rates click here (opens in new window).

The only downside to doing it this way is that you can’t choose the insurers you will receive quotes from. So if you prefer to choose specific providers for rate comparison, we have a page of low cost insurance companies in your area. View list of insurance companies.

You can use whichever method you prefer to find lower rates, just ensure you’re using identical deductibles and coverage limits for each price quote. If the quotes have different limits and deductibles on each one it’s impossible to determine which company has the best rates.

Car insurance policy discounts you can’t miss

Some insurance providers don’t always publicize the complete list of policy discounts very well, so the next list breaks down a few of the more well known and also the more inconspicuous discounts that you may qualify for.

• Telematics Discount – Insureds that choose to allow data collection to track driving patterns by using a small device installed in their vehicle such as Snapshot from Progressive or Drivewise from Allstate could see a rate decrease if they show good driving skills.
• Distant Student – living away from home attending college and leave their car at home may be able to be covered for less.
• Good Driver Discount – Drivers who avoid accidents can save as much as half off their rates on Windstar Cargo coverage as compared to drivers with claims.
• Defensive Driver Discount – Passing a class that teaches safe driver techniques could cut 5% off your bill and easily pay for the cost of the class.
• Low Mileage – Low annual miles could earn slightly better rates than normal.
• Life Insurance – Select insurance carriers reward you with a small discount if you purchase some life insurance too.
• Mature Driver Discount – Mature drivers could receive reduced rates on Windstar Cargo coverage.
• Braking Control Discount – Vehicles equipped with ABS or steering control are safer to drive and earn discounts up to 10%.
• Multi-Vehicle Discounts – Buying insurance for more than one vehicle with the same car insurance company can reduce the rates for all insured vehicles.
• Sign Online – Many larger companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy on your computer.

One thing to note about discounts is that most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Some only reduce individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. Just because you may think you could get a free car insurance policy, it just doesn’t work that way. Any amount of discount will help reduce your policy cost.

Coverages available on your policy

Having a good grasp of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses such as ambulance fees, hospital visits and rehabilitation expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Ford Windstar Cargo.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Collision coverages – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Windstar Cargo resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for liability – Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for things like structural damage, bail bonds and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as vandalism, hail damage, hitting a deer, damage from flooding and hitting a bird. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
