Take advantage of discounts

The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but companies offer discounts to reduce the price significantly. Some discounts apply automatically at quote time, but lesser-known reductions have to be asked about prior to receiving the credit. If they aren’t giving you every credit you deserve, you are paying more than you should be.

  • Defensive Driver – Successfully completing a course teaching defensive driving skills could save 5% or more if you qualify.
  • Multiple Vehicles – Insuring multiple vehicles with the same company may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • 55 and Retired – If you’re over the age of 55, you can possibly qualify for a small decrease in premiums on Wrangler insurance.
  • Theft Prevention System – Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Auto/Life Discount – Companies who offer life insurance give lower rates if you buy auto and life insurance together.
  • Military Discounts – Being on active duty in the military could mean lower rates.

As a disclaimer on discounts, many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only cut specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. Even though it may seem like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies wouldn’t make money that way. Any amount of discount will cut your premiums.

Car insurance companies who might offer some of the above discounts are:

It’s a good idea to ask all companies you are considering which discounts you may be entitled to. Some discounts may not be available in your state.

The coverage is in the details

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants 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.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Liability coverage

Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for claims like medical expenses, structural damage, court costs and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills for hospital visits, doctor visits and dental work. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, falling objects and theft. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

More quotes mean more savings

We just covered many ideas to compare 1992 Jeep Wrangler insurance prices online. The most important thing to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the better chance you’ll have of finding lower rates. Consumers could even find that the lowest priced car insurance comes from a small mutual company. Regional companies can often insure niche markets at a lower cost compared to the large companies like Allstate and Progressive.

The cheapest insurance is attainable from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best selection. Some insurance companies may not provide online price quotes and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you restructure your insurance plan, do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. There have been many situations where someone sacrificed collision coverage only to regret at claim time that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your strategy should be to find the BEST coverage at the best price.
