Cut prices on Mazda Navajo insurance

Auto insurance companies don’t list all available discounts in an easy-to-find place, so we took the time to find both the well known and also the lesser-known ways to save on car insurance.

  • Life Insurance Discount – Companies who offer life insurance give better rates if you take out auto and life insurance together.
  • Safe Driver Discount – Drivers who don’t get into accidents can pay as much as 50% less on Navajo coverage than less cautious drivers.
  • Clubs and Organizations – Participating in a qualifying organization could qualify you for a break on car insurance on Navajo coverage.
  • Distant Student – Any of your kids who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle may be able to be covered for less.
  • Federal Government Employee – Being employed by or retired from a federal job may qualify you for a discount on Navajo coverage with certain companies.
  • Multi-car Discount – Insuring more than one vehicle on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Paperless Signup – A few companies give back up to $50 for buying your policy online.

It’s important to note that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies don’t profit that way.

Why your Mazda Navajo might be costing you more

An important part of buying insurance is that you know the different types of things that play a part in calculating the rates you pay for insurance. Having a good understanding of what determines base rates enables informed choices that may reward you with lower insurance prices.

  • Your insurance rates can be influenced by your job – Occupations like lawyers, architects and financial analysts tend to pay higher average rates because of job stress and long work hours. Conversely, professions such as actors, engineers and the unemployed have the lowest average rates on Navajo coverage.
  • Safer cars are cheaper to insure – Vehicles with high crash test scores tend to have better insurance rates. These vehicles result in less severe injuries and any reduction in injury severity means lower claim amounts and lower rates for you. If your Mazda scored better than four stars on Safercar.gov you may qualify for a discount.
  • Better credit means lower rates – Credit rating is a large factor in calculating your insurance rates. Drivers with good credit tend to file fewer claims and have better driving records than those with lower ratings. Therefore, if your credit score can use some improvement, you could be paying less to insure your 1992 Mazda Navajo by spending a little time repairing your credit.
  • Optional equipment can affect rates – Owning a car with an alarm system can get you a discount on your insurance. Anti-theft features such as vehicle immobilizer systems, General Motors OnStar and LoJack tracking systems can help prevent auto theft.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Each situation is unique and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For instance, these questions might help in determining whether or not you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
  • Is my babysitter covered when using my vehicle?
  • Does my 1992 Mazda Navajo qualify for pleasure use?
  • What can I do if my company denied a claim?
  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
  • Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 1992 Mazda Navajo is totaled?
  • How does medical payments coverage work?
  • Is my custom paint covered by insurance?
  • Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Car insurance coverages for a 1992 Mazda Navajo

Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the normal coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Liability coverage – Liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for claims such as structural damage, funeral expenses and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive insurance – This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a deer, damage from getting keyed and vandalism. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision – This pays for damage to your Navajo caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a ditch and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for rehabilitation expenses, pain medications, dental work, doctor visits and funeral costs. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Mazda Navajo.

Since many 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.

Take this to the bank

We just covered some good ideas how you can get a better price on 1992 Mazda Navajo insurance. The key thing to remember is the more price quotes you have, the better your comparison will be. You may even discover the lowest premiums are with some of the smallest insurance companies. These smaller insurers can often provide lower rates in certain areas compared to the large companies like Allstate and Progressive.

When trying to cut insurance costs, it’s very important that you do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. In many instances, someone dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits only to find out that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your goal should be to get the best coverage possible at a price you can afford.
