Do you get exhausted from scraping the payment together to pay high insurance coverage rates every month? Your situation is no different than many other drivers. Many car insurance companies vie to insure your vehicles, so it can be very hard to choose a provider and get the definite lowest rate possible.

It’s a great practice to price shop coverage once or twice a year because insurance prices fluctuate regularly. Just because you found the best deal on Aura Hybrid coverage six months ago you will most likely find a better rate quote today. There is lot of inaccurate information about insurance coverage online but by reading this article, you’re going to learn the best ways to lower your insurance coverage bill.

How much is insurance coverage?

There are a variety of methods to compare insurance coverage prices but there is one way that is easier and takes less work. You could waste time discussing policy coverages with agents in your area, or you can stay home and use online quotes to achieve your goal.

Most of the larger companies belong to a marketplace where prospective buyers only type in their quote data once, and every company can provide price quotes. This eliminates the need for form submissions to each company.

The one disadvantage to getting quotes like this is that you can’t choose which carriers to get pricing from. If you would rather choose from a list of companies to request quotes from, we have a page of companies who write insurance coverage in your area. View list of insurance companies.

Which method you use is up to you, but ensure you are comparing the exact same information for each quote you get. If you compare different limits and deductibles on each one you will not be able to get a fair rate comparison.

Can you really save that much by switching?

Consumers can’t escape the ads that claim the lowest premium rates from the likes of Progressive, Allstate and Geico. They all make the same claim about saving some big amount if you get a free car insurance quote and switch your insurance coverage coverage to their company.

But how can every company make the same claim? It’s all in how they say it.

Insurance providers require specific criteria for the type of driver that earns them the highest profit. A good example of a profitable insured could be between the ages of 30 and 45, has other policies, and drives a lower-performance vehicle. Any driver that matches those criteria will most likely get cheap prices and most likely will save money with a new company.

Consumers who do not fit these stringent criteria will be charged higher premium rates and the prospect going elsewhere. The ad wording is “drivers who switch” not “everyone who quotes” save money. That’s why companies can truthfully claim big savings. This really drives home the point why it’s extremely important to quote coverage with many companies. You cannot predict with any certainty which company will have the best premium rates for your profile.

Take policy discounts and save

Car insurance companies don’t always publicize all their discounts very clearly, so we break down both well-publicized and the more hidden discounts that you can inquire about if you buy car insurance online. If you do not check that you are getting every discount you qualify for, you could be paying more than you need to.

• Multiple Vehicles – Buying coverage for primary and secondary vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
• Active Military Service – Having an actively deployed family member could mean lower premium rates.
• Smart Student Discounts – A discount for being a good student could provide a savings of up to 20% or more. This discount can apply up to age 25.
• Driver’s Education for Students – Have your child successfully complete driver’s ed class as it can save substantially.
• College Student – Kids who are attending college and won’t have access to an insured vehicle may qualify for this discount.
• Low Miles Discount – Keeping the miles down on your Saturn could qualify for substantially lower rates.

While discounts sound great, it’s important to understand that some of the credits will not apply the the whole policy. Most only apply to individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. If you do the math and it seems like you can get free auto insurance, it doesn’t quite work that way. But any discount will positively reduce your policy premiums.

A few companies who might offer many of the previously listed discounts may include but are not limited to:

• State Farm
• American Family
• AAA
• Geico
• Mercury Insurance
• Farmers Insurance
• Progressive

When getting a coverage quote, ask all companies you are considering the best way to save money. Some credits may not be available in your state.

Which policy gives me the best coverage?

When buying the best auto insurance coverage for your vehicles, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s so your insurance needs to address that. These are some specific questions might point out if your situation could use an agent’s help.

• Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
• Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
• Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
• Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
• Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
• Does coverage extend to a rental car in a foreign country?
• How do I insure my teen driver?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then you may want to think about talking to an agent.

Coverages available on your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from insurance companies.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills like X-ray expenses, funeral costs, dental work and surgery. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision insurance

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Aura Hybrid resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims like scraping a guard rail, backing into a parked car, rolling your car, hitting a parking meter and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability coverages

This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers things such as emergency aid, medical expenses, bail bonds, attorney fees and medical services. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Saturn Aura Hybrid.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like damage from flooding, fire damage, vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hitting a deer. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Affordable insurance is out there

We just presented a lot of tips how to get a better price on 2009 Saturn Aura Hybrid insurance. The key concept to understand is the more providers you compare, the higher your chance of finding inexpensive car insurance. You may be surprised to find that the most savings is with a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising. These companies may often insure only within specific states and give getter rates than their larger competitors like Allstate, Geico and Progressive.

Budget-friendly car insurance can be bought both online in addition to local insurance agencies, and you need to price shop both to have the best selection. There are still a few companies who may not have the ability to get a quote online and these small insurance companies only sell through independent agents.
