Pay less by taking advantage of discounts

Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but there are discounts available to reduce the price significantly. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied when you complete an application, but a few must be requested specifically before you get the savings. If they aren’t giving you every credit you deserve, you are throwing money away.

  • Early Switch Discount – Some insurance companies reward drivers for signing up before your current policy expires. It’s a savings of about 10%.
  • No Accidents – Good drivers with no accidents pay less compared to accident-prone drivers.
  • Payment Discounts – If you pay your bill all at once instead of making monthly payments you may reduce your total bill.
  • Student in College – Youth drivers who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle can receive lower rates.
  • Save with a New Car – Buying coverage on a new vehicle can be considerably cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Own a Home – Owning a home can help you save on insurance coverage because owning a home requires personal responsibility.
  • Memberships – Affiliation with certain professional organizations is a good way to get lower rates on your policy for Express coverage.
  • Low Mileage – Fewer annual miles on your Chevy can earn discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
  • Anti-theft Discount – Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems help deter theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.

Keep in mind that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. Some only apply to individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. Even though it may seem like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way. Any amount of discount will bring down your overall premium however.

Your coverage should be tailored to you

When buying adequate coverage, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Each situation is unique.

For instance, these questions can help discover if your situation may require specific advice.

  • What is the ISO rating for a 2006 Chevy Express?
  • Does my medical payments coverage pay my health insurance deductible?
  • Am I better off with higher deductibles on my 2006 Chevy Express?
  • What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in my state?
  • Can my babysitter drive my car?
  • Is my trailer covered?
  • Why am I be forced to buy a membership to get insurance from some companies?
  • Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
  • Can I rent a car in Mexico?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form. It is quick, free and may give you better protection.

Detailed coverages of your auto insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. 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 values of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for things like pain and suffering, court costs, medical services 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.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage covers damage to your Express caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle, rolling your car and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like theft, vandalism and damage from flooding. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Chevy Express.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for rehabilitation expenses, chiropractic care and EMT expenses. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

In any little way, save everyday

Lower-priced 2006 Chevy Express insurance is attainable both online and with local insurance agents, and you should be comparing both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some insurance coverage companies do not offer online price quotes and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

Consumers change insurance companies for a variety of reasons including questionable increases in premium, policy non-renewal, high rates after DUI convictions or even unfair underwriting practices. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a great new company is less work than it seems.

As you prepare to switch companies, it’s a bad idea to buy poor coverage just to save money. In many cases, someone sacrificed physical damage coverage only to regret that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The aim is to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price.
