Want lower insurance rates for your Ford F-450 Super Duty? Confused by the wide range of insurance options? Many other consumers are too. Consumers have so many options that it can easily become a real hassle to compare prices.
All major insurance companies like Allstate, Geico and Progressive provide coverage price quotes on their websites. This process is quite easy as you just enter your coverage information into a form. After the form is submitted, their system will order your credit score and driving record and quotes a price.

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses like funeral costs, pain medications, X-ray expenses and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision insurance
Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your F-450 Super Duty from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against things such as backing into a parked car, damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a building and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Ford F-450 Super Duty.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
Comprehensive auto coverage
This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hitting a bird, damage from flooding, a broken windshield, falling objects and hitting a deer. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Coverage for liability
Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability coverage protects against claims like structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, attorney fees, bail bonds and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
