Are you sick and tired of robbing Peter to pay Paul to insure your Land Rover every month? You are in the same boat as millions of other consumers. Consumers have many car insurance companies to insure vehicles with, and even though it’s nice to have a choice, so many choices can make it hard to compare rates and find the lowest cost auto insurance.
Shopping for lower insurance rates can be challenging if you don’t utilize the most efficient way to do it. You can spend countless hours talking to agents in your area, or you can stay home and use the internet to quickly compare rates.
Many popular insurance companies enroll in a system where prospective buyers enter their policy data once, and each company returns a competitive quote. This system prevents you from having to do quote forms for every insurance company.

Which method you use is up to you, but make sure you use apples-to-apples coverages and limits for every company. If you are comparing unequal deductibles or liability limits then you won’t be able to make an equal comparison.
Companies that sell car insurance don’t always list every available discount very well, so we break down some of the best known and also the lesser-known savings tricks you should be using. If you don’t get every credit you deserve, you are throwing money away.
Consumers should know that some of the credits will not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only cut specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like you can get free auto insurance, companies don’t profit that way.
Companies who might offer some of the above discounts include:
Before buying, ask each company how you can save money. Savings might not be offered in every state.
When it comes to choosing the right insurance coverage, there isn’t really a cookie cutter policy. Each situation is unique so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions might help in determining whether you would benefit from professional advice.
If you can’t answer these questions, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or go to this page to view a list of companies. It only takes a few minutes and can help protect your family.
Having a good grasp of car insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are typical coverage types found on the average car insurance policy.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, theft and fire damage. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
UM/UIM Coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Land Rover Freelander.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Collision protection
Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against things such as scraping a guard rail, damaging your car on a curb and crashing into a building. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Medical costs insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for funeral costs, rehabilitation expenses, dental work and ambulance fees. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Auto liability insurance
Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as structural damage, medical services, loss of income and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
When shopping online for car insurance, do not buy less coverage just to save a little money. Too many times, an accident victim reduced liability coverage limits and discovered at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The proper strategy is to buy enough coverage at the best price while still protecting your assets.
