Lots of discounts mean lots of savings

  • Drivers Ed for Students – Cut your cost by having your teen driver take driver’s ed class in high school.

Car insurance companies who might offer these benefits are:

Double check with each company what discounts are available to you. Savings might not apply in every state.

Situations that might require an agent

When buying the right insurance coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s needs are different and your policy should reflect that. For instance, these questions can help discover whether or not you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Is a fancy paint job covered?
  • Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
  • Am I covered when delivering products for my home-based business?
  • Should I buy only the required minimum liability coverage?
  • When should I not file a claim?
  • Am I covered by my spouse’s policy after a separation?
  • Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver?
  • Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
  • What if I total my 2010 Ford Crown Victoria and owe more than it’s worth?
  • What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to an agent.

The insurance coverage bait and switch

Drivers can’t ignore all the ads for cheaper car insurance by Progressive, Geico, Allstate and State Farm. They all say the same thing that you can save after switching to their company.

But how can every company say the same thing? This is how they do it.

All companies can use profiling for the driver that earns them a profit. For instance, a preferred risk could possibly be between 30 and 50, has no tickets, and chooses high deductibles. Any driver who fits that profile is entitled to the best price and most likely will save when switching.

Potential customers who don’t qualify for the “perfect” profile will be quoted a higher premium which leads to business going elsewhere. The ads say “people who switch” not “everyone that quotes” save money. This is how insurance companies can confidently make the claims of big savings. This emphasizes why you should get quotes from several different companies. It’s impossible to know which company will fit your personal profile best.

Coverages available on your policy

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like a broken windshield, damage from flooding, fire damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses such as doctor visits, dental work, EMT expenses and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Crown Victoria resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car and hitting a mailbox. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Liability insurance – This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees, loss of income, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Ford Crown Victoria.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Compare but don’t skimp

Cheap 2010 Ford Crown Victoria insurance is possible online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance companies may not provide the ability to get a quote online and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, don’t be tempted to buy less coverage just to save a little money. There are many occasions where someone dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to find out that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your aim should be to buy enough coverage at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.
