Trying to find the cheapest insurance rates for your Dodge Shadow? Searching for the cheapest insurance for a Dodge Shadow can be difficult, but you can learn the following methods to save time. There are both good and bad ways to buy insurance so we’re going to tell you the proper way to price shop coverage on a Dodge and obtain the lowest price either online or from local insurance agents.

Finding affordable coverage is quite easy. If you are insured now or need a new policy, you will benefit by learning to find better prices while maintaining coverages. Vehicle owners just need to know the proper way to find the lowest price online.

How to Get Cheap Insurance Coverage

Finding lower insurance coverage rates is a fairly straight forward process. All you need to do is take time comparing price quotes provided by online insurance companies. This can be accomplished in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

  • The best way to find low rates is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This method prevents you from having to do multiple quote forms for each company. One quote request gets you price quotes from several companies. It’s the fastest way to compare.
  • A more difficult way to find lower rates requires a trip to the website for each individual company and fill out their own quote form. For examples sake, let’s assume you want rates from USAA, Progressive and Geico. You would have to visit each site and enter your policy data, which is why most consumers use the first method.

  • The most time-consuming method to get comparison rates is to waste gas driving to different agent offices. The ability to buy insurance online can eliminate the need for a local agent unless you prefer the professional advice of a licensed agent. You can, however, obtain prices from the web and still use a local agent. We’ll cover that shortly.

Which method you use is up to you, but make darn sure you compare the exact same information with each company. If the quotes have differing limits it will be next to impossible to find the best deal for your Dodge Shadow.

Policy discounts you shouldn’t miss

Companies that sell car insurance do not list every available discount very clearly, so we took the time to find some of the more common and the more hidden discounts you could be receiving. If you’re not getting every credit available, you are throwing money away.

  • Discount for Swiching Early – A few companies offer discounts for buying a policy prior to your current policy expiring. The savings is around 10%.
  • Seat Belts Save – Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could save 15% off your medical payments premium.
  • Lower Rates for Military – Being on active duty in the military could mean lower rates.
  • Club Memberships – Affiliation with a qualifying organization is a good way to get lower rates when shopping for auto insurance on Shadow insurance.
  • Low Mileage Discounts – Fewer annual miles on your Dodge could be rewarded with better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • New Car Discount – Adding a new car to your policy is cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.

It’s important to understand that some of the credits will not apply to the entire policy premium. Most cut specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you won’t be that lucky.

Companies that may offer these discounts may include but are not limited to:

It’s a good idea to ask each company which discounts they offer. All car insurance discounts may not be available in your area.

Insurance agents can help

When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Each situation is unique.

Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining whether you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Can I afford low physical damage deductibles?
  • Is a new car covered when I drive it off the dealer lot?
  • Is my vehicle covered by my employer’s policy when using it for work?
  • How much underlying liability do I need for an umbrella policy?
  • What are the financial responsibility laws in my state?
  • Is my trailer covered?
  • Can I rate high risk drivers on liability-only vehicles?
  • Does having multiple vehicles earn me a discount?
  • What if I total my 1990 Dodge Shadow and owe more than it’s worth?

If you’re not sure about those questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.

Insurance coverages and their meanings

Knowing the specifics of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Liability – Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability can pay for things like repair costs for stationary objects, structural damage, medical expenses and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Insurance for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for immediate expenses for things like doctor visits, nursing services and surgery. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like vandalism, rock chips in glass, falling objects, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hitting a deer. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Collision coverages – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Shadow resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

In any little way, save everyday

Low-cost 1990 Dodge Shadow insurance is definitely available on the web and with local insurance agents, so you should compare both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance companies do not offer the ability to get a quote online and these smaller companies work with independent agents.

In this article, we presented a lot of techniques to save on insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more times you quote, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. You may even discover the lowest priced car insurance comes from some of the lesser-known companies.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s not a good idea to buy less coverage just to save a little money. In too many instances, drivers have reduced uninsured motorist or liability limits to discover at claim time they didn’t have enough coverage. Your goal should be to buy enough coverage at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.
