How Much Does 2010 Buick Lucerne Insurance Cost?

Are you sick and tired of not being able to afford to buy car insurance? You are in the same boat as many other consumers. Because there are so many companies to choose from, it can be hard to locate the most cost effective company.

How to Lower Your Car Insurance Cost

Getting a lower price on 2010 Buick Lucerne insurance is not a difficult process. All you need to do is spend a few minutes comparing rates online from several insurance companies. It is quite easy and can be accomplished in a couple of different ways.

The easiest and least time consuming way to find low rates is a comparison rater form click to view form in new window. This form saves time by eliminating separate quote forms for each company. A single, simple form compares rates from all major companies.

A more difficult way to compare prices consists of visiting the website of each company to complete their respective quote request forms. For sake of this example, let’s assume you want rates from Farmers, Allstate and State Farm. To find out each rate you need to spend time on each company’s site and enter your policy data, and that’s why the first method is more popular.

The least recommended method of comparing rate quotes is to waste gas driving to and from local insurance agencies. The internet can eliminate the need for a local agent unless you require the personal advice that only a license agent can provide. It is possible to comparison shop online but still have the advice of a local agent.

It’s up to you which method you use, but make darn sure you compare exactly the same coverage limits with each company. If you compare different deductibles then you won’t be able to determine the lowest rate for your Buick Lucerne.

Discounts are available to cut your rates

Companies offering auto insurance don’t necessarily list every available discount very clearly, so we took the time to find both the well known and the harder-to-find discounts you could be receiving. If you’re not getting every credit available, you are paying more than you should be.

Discount for New Cars – Putting insurance coverage on a new car can save up to 30% compared to insuring an older model.
Military Discounts – Being on active duty in the military can result in better rates.
Accident Free – Good drivers with no accidents can save substantially as compared to bad drivers.
Drive Less and Save – Driving fewer miles could qualify for discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
Senior Discount – Mature drivers can possibly qualify for reduced rates on Lucerne coverage.

Consumers should know that some of the credits will not apply to the overall cost of the policy. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. Just because it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you’re out of luck.

Specifics of your auto insurance policy

Having a good grasp of a auto insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are typical coverage types offered by auto insurance companies.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as rock chips in glass, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, theft, damage from getting keyed and vandalism. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like surgery, doctor visits, nursing services, ambulance fees and hospital visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability insurance

Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. It protects you against claims from 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. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.

Liability coverage pays for things like attorney fees, funeral expenses and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage covers damage to your Lucerne from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims like hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
