These discounts can lower insurance coverage rates

Auto insurance companies don’t always advertise all disounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the list below gives a summary of a few of the more well known in addition to some of the lesser obvious credits available to lower your premiums when you buy insurance online.

• Smart Student Discounts – Performing well in school may save as much as 25% on a insurance quote. The good student discount can last until age 25.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire policy premium. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision.

It’s a good idea to ask every company how many discounts you can get. Some of the earlier mentioned discounts might not be offered in your area.

Coverages available on your policy

Understanding the coverages of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Auto insurance terms can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as a broken windshield, damage from getting keyed and hitting a deer. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses like X-ray expenses, rehabilitation expenses, nursing services and dental work. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Jeep Cherokee.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Collision – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as hitting a parking meter, damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle and hitting a mailbox. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability coverages – This coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. It protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for claims like bail bonds, attorney fees, pain and suffering, medical expenses and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Spend less. Save more.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s a bad idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. There have been many cases where someone sacrificed liability limits or collision coverage only to find out that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your goal should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest cost, but do not skimp to save money.

Drivers who switch companies do it for a variety of reasons including extreme rates for teen drivers, delays in responding to claim requests, policy cancellation or unfair underwriting practices. No matter why you want to switch, finding a new company can be easy and end up saving you some money.

A few companies do not offer price quotes online and most of the time these smaller providers only sell coverage through independent agencies. Discount 2019 Jeep Cherokee insurance is available both online and from local insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to get a complete price analysis.
