Compare the Market for Insurance

Cutting your insurance rates isn’t really that difficult. All that’s required is to take a couple of minutes to get quotes provided by online insurance companies. This can be done in several different ways.

The fastest way to get the best comparison quotes is an all-inclusive rate comparison click to view form in new window. This type of form saves time by eliminating multiple quote forms for each company you want a rate for. Filling out one form gets you price quotes from multiple low-cost companies.
A less efficient way to shop for insurance online requires a trip to the website for each individual company to complete a price quote.

Which method you use is up to you, but make sure you use the exact same coverage limits and deductibles for every quote you compare. If you are comparing different limits and deductibles on each one it’s impossible to determine which rate is truly the best.

Coverages available on your policy

Understanding the coverages of your policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the normal coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as a broken windshield, hitting a deer and theft. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against things like attorney fees, structural damage, emergency aid and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses like surgery, doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses, funeral costs and hospital visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your Yukon resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things such as crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
