Comprehensive Auto Insurance Comparison

Getting better 2010 BMW X5 auto insurance pricing is not a difficult process. You just have to spend a few minutes on the computer comparing rate quotes from different insurance companies. This can be accomplished in several different ways.

1. The single most time-saving way to find the lowest comparison rates is an all-inclusive rate comparison (click to open form in new window). This easy form saves time by eliminating a different quote to each individual auto insurance company. A single form compares rates from several companies.
2. A less efficient way to get quotes online is to manually visit the website for every company you want to comare and fill out their own quote form. For instance, we’ll pretend you want to compare rates from USAA, Allstate and Progressive. To get each rate you have to go to every website to enter your coverage information, which is why the first method is more popular. To view a list of companies in your area, click here.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but be sure to compare identical coverage limits and deductibles for every quote you compare. If you use different limits and deductibles on each one then you won’t be able to truly determine the lowest rate.

How much car insurance do I need?

When it comes to buying the best insurance coverage coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. These are some specific questions may help highlight whether your personal situation might need an agent’s assistance.

• Where can I find high-risk insurance?
• Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
• Are rental cars covered under my policy?
• Am I covered if hit by an uninsured driver?
• Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
• When do I need to add a new car to my policy?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, 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 or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It is quick, free and may give you better protection.

Specific coverage details

Understanding the coverages of your policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays for damage to your X5 caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your BMW X5.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability auto insurance – This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as loss of income, bail bonds, medical services, attorney fees and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Medical expense insurance – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for X-ray expenses, doctor visits, nursing services, prosthetic devices and pain medications. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like a broken windshield, hitting a bird, rock chips in glass, vandalism and hitting a deer. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
