2010 Mazda Mazda3 Car Insurance Quotes – 5 Savings Tips

Price shopping your insurance can seem to be difficult for beginners to comparing rates online. Consumers have so many options that it can turn into a ton of work to find the best price.

Save with discounts on 2010 Mazda Mazda3 insurance

Car insurance companies do not advertise every available discount in a way that’s easy to find, so we took the time to find some of the best known and also the lesser-known auto insurance savings.

  • Anti-lock Brakes – Vehicles equipped with ABS or steering control can reduce accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Safe Driver Discount – Drivers who don’t get into accidents may save up to 50% more for Mazda3 coverage than less cautious drivers.
  • Save over 55 – If you’re over the age of 55, you may be able to get a small decrease in premiums for Mazda3 coverage.
  • More Vehicles More Savings – Buying coverage for multiple cars or trucks on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Anti-theft Discount – Anti-theft and alarm systems help deter theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce specific coverage prices like liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like all the discounts add up to a free policy, it doesn’t quite work that way.

The quickest way to get rate comparisons is to understand most of the larger companies have advanced systems to give rate comparisons. To begin a comparison, all you need to do is give them rating details including driver ages, how many miles driven, if the vehicle is leased, and what your job is. Your details is then submitted to multiple top-rated companies and you will get price comparisons immediately.

Tailor your coverage to you

When buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Each situation is unique.

For example, these questions might point out whether your personal situation could use an agent’s help.

  • Is a new car covered when I drive it off the dealer lot?
  • Does coverage extend to a rental car in a foreign country?
  • Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
  • Is extra glass coverage worth it?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
  • Does my policy pay for OEM or aftermarket parts?
  • Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form.

Coverages available on your auto insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Mazda Mazda3.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Collision protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Mazda3 resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical expense insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for prosthetic devices, doctor visits, funeral costs and rehabilitation expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability coverages

Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for things like attorney fees, court costs and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like theft, vandalism, hitting a bird and fire damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Be a money saver!

Cheaper 2010 Mazda Mazda3 insurance can be purchased both online and with local insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best selection.

We just showed you many ways to shop for insurance online. The key concept to understand is the more price quotes you have, the better your chances of lowering your rates. Consumers may even find the most savings is with a smaller regional carrier.
