Having to pay for expensive Chevrolet Captiva Sport insurance can eat up your funds and require stricter spending habits. Doing a rate comparison can lower your rates and help to lower your monthly bill.
Many car insurance companies vie for your business, and because of this it can be hard to compare car insurance companies to get the best rates possible.
If you are paying for car insurance now, you will be able to reduce your rates substantially using this strategy. Finding the best rates is not rocket science. Nevertheless, consumers should learn how companies sell online because it can help you find the best coverage.
Insurance coverage rates and discounts
Companies offering auto insurance do not list every possible discount very clearly, so the list below contains both well-publicized as well as some of the hidden credits available to you.
- Discounts for Multiple Vehicles – Buying a policy with multiple vehicles on a single policy can reduce rates for all insured vehicles.
- Good Student – Excelling in school may save as much as 25% on a auto insurance quote. Most companies allow this discount up until you turn 25.
- Drive Less and Save – Fewer annual miles on your Chevy may enable drivers to earn lower premium rates on the low mileage vehicles.
- Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Vehicles with factory air bags could see savings of more than 20%.
- Discounts for New Vehicles – Insuring a new car may earn a small discount since newer models are generally safer.
- Use Seat Belts – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to buckle up can save up to 10 percent (depending on the company) on medical payment and PIP coverage.
As is typical with insurance, many deductions do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. Despite the fact that it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it doesn’t quite work that way. But any discount will help lower the amount you pay for coverage.
The best insurance coverage companies and their possible discounts are shown below.
- State Farm discounts include multiple policy, Steer Clear safe driver discount, student away at school, anti-theft, and good student.
- Esurance offers discounts including multi-policy, DriveSense, safety device, defensive driver, homeowner, good driver, and renters.
- Progressive may include discounts for continuous coverage, multi-policy, online signing, homeowner, and good student.
- Liberty Mutual may offer discounts for new graduate, multi-policy, safety features, preferred payment discount, new move discount, and new vehicle discount.
- Auto-Owners Insurance has discounts for paperless, anti-lock brakes, company car, safe driver, and safe vehicle.
- Geico offers premium reductions for emergency military deployment, membership and employees, driver training, air bags, and five-year accident-free.

Situations that may require an agent’s advice
When buying coverage, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Each situation is unique so this has to be addressed. For instance, these questions can help discover if you could use an agent’s help.
- Do I need replacement cost coverage?
- Can I rent a car in Mexico?
- Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?
- When should I drop full coverage on my 2015 Chevy Captiva Sport?
- Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
- Do I need motorclub coverage?
- Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
- Am I covered if my car is in a flood?
- Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?
If you can’t answer these questions, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
Slick advertising tricks that work
Well-known auto insurance companies like 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm regularly use ads in print and on television. All the ads make an identical promise that you’ll save big if you get a free auto insurance quote and switch your policy. It sounds good, but how can they all give you a lower rate? Just pay attention to how they say it.
Companies offer their best rates for the right customer that earns them a profit. For instance, this type of insured should be married and over the age of 30, has never had a claim, and drives a vehicle with a low ISO rating. Any person who fits that profile receive the lowest rate quotes and will probably save if they switch.
Potential insureds who fall short of this ideal profile will have to pay higher premiums and this can result in the customer buying from a different company. If you listen closely, the ads state “customers that switch” not “all people who quote” will save that much if they switch. This is how companies can truthfully claim big savings. This really emphasizes why drivers must compare quotes as often as possible. Because without a comparison, you cannot know which company will fit you best based on your risk profile.
Car insurance coverage options for a Chevy Captiva Sport
Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverages offered by car insurance companies.
Collision – This coverage pays for damage to your Captiva Sport resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for things such as hitting a mailbox, colliding with another moving vehicle, scraping a guard rail and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 2015 Chevy Captiva Sport.
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 very important.
Liability coverages – Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers claims such as attorney fees, medical expenses, emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills for pain medications, EMT expenses and surgery. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as falling objects, hitting a deer, fire damage and vandalism. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Save for a rainy day
We covered a lot of ways to save on 2015 Chevy Captiva Sport insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more rate quotes you have, the better likelihood of getting affordable auto insurance. Drivers may discover the lowest premium rates are with the smaller companies. These smaller insurers may often insure only within specific states and give getter rates than their larger competitors like Allstate or State Farm.
As you shop your coverage around, it’s a bad idea to buy less coverage just to save a little money. In many cases, someone sacrificed full coverage only to regret they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The goal is to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest cost while not skimping on critical coverages.
