How to Compare Insurance Coverage Costs

Performing a rate comparison can take time and effort if you don’t understand the best way to get rate quotes. You could spend the better part of a day talking to insurance companies in your area, or you could use online quoting to accomplish the same thing much quicker.

Many insurance companies enroll in a system where prospective buyers submit their information once, and every company can give them a price based on the submitted data. This system prevents you from having to do quotation requests for every insurance coverage company.

Just keep in mind that comparing more company’s prices provides better odds of finding the best rates.

These factors can influence what you pay for Lexus LS 400 insurance

It’s important that you understand the different types of things that help determine the price you pay for insurance. When you know what positively or negatively impacts premium levels empowers consumers to make smart changes that could result in better insurance rates.

  • Higher safety ratings means cheaper insurance – Safer cars are cheaper to insure. Safe vehicles have better occupant injury protection and lower injury rates translates into fewer and smaller insurance claims and more competitive rates for policyholders. If the Lexus LS 400 earned at least an “acceptable” rating on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety website you may qualify for a discount.
  • Women pay lower rates – Statistics demonstrate women tend to be less risk to insure than men. However, don’t assume that men are WORSE drivers than women. Men and women have accidents at about the same rate, but men cause more damage and cost insurance companies more money. Men also get more serious tickets such as DWI and reckless driving.
  • Claim-free discounts can add up – Companies give cheaper rates to drivers who do not file claims often. If you tend to file frequent claims, you can pretty much guarantee higher rates. Insurance coverage is intended to be relied upon for major claims that would cause financial hardship.
  • Your spouse saves you money – Being married helps lower the price on insurance. Having a significant other means you’re more mature than a single person and it’s statistically proven that drivers who are married are more cautious.

Tailor your coverage to you

When choosing coverage, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s situation is unique and your policy should reflect that. Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether you could use an agent’s help.

  • Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
  • Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?
  • Does liability extend to a camper or trailer?
  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
  • Is my state a no-fault state?
  • Should I file a claim if it’s only slightly more than my deductible?
  • Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
  • Is my 1995 Lexus LS 400 covered for smoke damage?

If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

The fine print in insurance coverage ads

Insurance coverage companies such as 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm consistently run ads on TV and radio. They all seem to make the same claim that you can save if you change to them. But how can every company make almost identical claims? It’s all in the numbers.

All companies can use profiling for the driver that makes them money. For example, a profitable customer could be between 25 and 40, is a homeowner, and drives less than 7,500 miles a year. A customer who matches those parameters will get very good rates and as a result will probably save when they switch companies.

Potential customers who don’t qualify for this ideal profile must pay more money and ends up with the driver buying from a lower-cost company. Company advertisements say “people who switch” not “everybody who quotes” save that much money. This is how companies can truthfully state the savings. This illustrates why drivers must quote coverage with many companies. It is impossible to predict which insurance coverage company will fit your personal profile best.

Car insurance coverages explained

Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are typical coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses for funeral costs, X-ray expenses, chiropractic care and ambulance fees. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, fire damage and vandalism. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto liability

Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.

Liability can pay for things like court costs, medical expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like damaging your car on a curb, backing into a parked car and sideswiping another vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Have the Midas touch

As you shop your coverage around, make sure you don’t skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There are too many instances where someone dropped liability coverage limits and found out when filing a claim they didn’t have enough coverage. The aim is to buy a smart amount of coverage for the lowest price.

Budget-conscious 1995 Lexus LS 400 insurance can be bought on the web as well as from independent agents, so compare prices from both to have the best chance of lowering rates. A few companies don’t offer the ability to get a quote online and usually these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through local independent agents.
