More discounts equal less premium

Companies offering auto insurance don’t always list every available discount in a way that’s easy to find, so we took the time to find some of the more common and the more hidden discounts you could be receiving. If you aren’t receiving every discount possible, you are throwing money away.

  • Life Insurance Discount – Select insurance companies reward you with a discount if you purchase life insurance.
  • Save with a New Car – Insuring a new car can save up to 30% because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Accident Forgiveness – Some insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before hitting you with a surcharge as long as you don’t have any claims for a set time period.
  • Driver’s Ed – Cut your cost by having your teen driver complete a driver education course in school.
  • Seat Belts Save – Requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could save 15% off the personal injury premium cost.
  • Low Mileage Discounts – Low mileage vehicles can earn a substantially lower rate.

As a disclaimer on discounts, some of the credits will not apply to all coverage premiums. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as comprehensive or collision. So when the math indicates you can get free auto insurance, it just doesn’t work that way.

A partial list of companies that may offer some of the above discounts include:

Double check with every prospective company which discounts they offer. Some discounts might not apply in your area.

How to Compare Insurance Costs

Finding a lower price on 2002 Isuzu Axiom insurance can be surprisingly simple. All that’s required is to spend a few minutes comparing price quotes from different insurance companies. This can be accomplished in a couple of different ways.

The recommended way to compare a lot of rates at once would be an industry-wide quote request form click to view form in new window. This form eliminates the need for separate quote forms for each company you want a rate for. A single form will return price quotes from several companies. It’s the fastest way to compare.

A less efficient way to get comparison quotes is to manually visit the website for every company you want to comare and complete a new quote form. For example, we’ll assume you want comparison quotes from Geico, Allstate and Farmers. You would have to visit each site and enter your policy data, which is why the first method is quicker.

The least efficient way to compare rates is to drive around to insurance agents’ offices. Buying insurance online eliminates the need for an insurance agent unless you require the trained guidance of a licensed agent. It is possible to compare online quotes but buy from a local insurance agent and we’ll touch on that later.

Whichever method you choose, double check that you are using apples-to-apples coverage limits on every quote. If you enter different deductibles it’s impossible to determine the best price for your Isuzu Axiom.

It’s not one size fits all

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

For instance, these questions could help you determine whether you may require specific advice.

  • What are the best liability limits?
  • Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
  • Should I bundle my homeowners policy with my auto?
  • Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
  • Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
  • Am I covered if my car is in a flood?
  • Is my babysitter covered when using my vehicle?

If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form. It is quick, free and can provide invaluable advice.

The coverage is in the details

Having a good grasp of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

UM/UIM Coverage – This gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Isuzu Axiom.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – Comprehensive insurance covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like theft, a broken windshield, damage from flooding and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for liability – This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers claims like bail bonds, loss of income, repair costs for stationary objects and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical costs insurance – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses like prosthetic devices, nursing services, surgery, funeral costs and EMT expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Collision – Collision coverage 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 can pay for claims like backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter, scraping a guard rail and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Final considerations

Consumers switch companies for a variety of reasons including questionable increases in premium, policy non-renewal, being labeled a high risk driver or even high prices. It doesn’t matter what your reason, finding the right car insurance provider is not as hard as you think.

As you restructure your insurance plan, you should never reduce needed coverages to save money. There are too many instances where an accident victim reduced collision coverage and learned later they didn’t have enough coverage. Your focus should be to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.

Low-cost 2002 Isuzu Axiom insurance is attainable both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best selection. There are still a few companies who may not provide the ability to get a quote online and these smaller companies work with independent agents.
