How to Get Cheap Auto Insurance

Finding lower auto insurance rates is a fairly straight forward process. Consumers just need to take a couple of minutes getting comparison quotes online with multiple companies. This can be accomplished in several different ways.

The single most time-saving way consumers can analyze rates is a comparison rater form like this one (opens in new window). This form saves time by eliminating multiple quote forms to each individual auto insurance company. One form submission will return price quotes from all major companies. It’s definitely the quickest method.

A more time consuming way to get comparison quotes is to take the time to go to each company website to complete a price quote. For examples sake, we’ll assume you want to compare rates from State Farm, Esurance and American Family. To get rate quotes you would need to take the time to go to each site to enter your coverage information, which is why most consumers use the first method.

The least recommended method of getting rate comparisons is driving around to and from local insurance agencies. Shopping for auto insurance online eliminates the need for an insurance agent unless you require the trained guidance only provided by licensed agents. Drivers can comparison shop online but still have the advice of a local agent and we’ll talk about that later.

It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just double check that you are using identical information for every company. If you have unequal deductibles or liability limits then you won’t be able to make a fair comparison for your Honda Insight.

When might I need help?

When buying coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a cookie cutter policy. Every situation is different.

For example, these questions might help in determining if you might need an agent’s assistance.

• Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
• Is extra glass coverage worth it?
• Do I need medical payments coverage since I have good health insurance?
• Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
• Am I covered if I break a side mirror?
• Exactly who is provided coverage by my policy?
• Do I need roadside assistance coverage?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance 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.

Insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Collision – This pays for damage to your Insight from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims like damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter, crashing into a building and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for medical payments – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for expenses for things like pain medications, surgery, ambulance fees, chiropractic care and rehabilitation expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Liability coverages – Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for things such as legal defense fees, medical services, emergency aid, court costs and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people 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 a good idea. Usually these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hitting a bird, theft, hail damage and fire damage. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
