Lower Your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Insurance Rates

Are you intimidated by the crazy number of insurance options? You have a lot of company. People have so many companies to choose from that it can quickly become a ton of work to locate the lowest price.

Cut your insurance rates with discounts

Companies that sell car insurance don’t necessarily list every available discount in a way that’s easy to find, so we break down some of the best known and the more hidden insurance savings.

  • Good Student Discount – A discount for being a good student can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. This discount can apply up to age 25.
  • Resident Student – Kids in college who are attending college without a vehicle on campus may qualify for this discount.
  • Defensive Driving Course – Successfully completing a course teaching defensive driving skills could cut 5% off your bill if you qualify.
  • More Vehicles More Savings – Buying insurance for multiple cars or trucks with the same company could earn a price break for each car.
  • No Claims – Good drivers with no accidents can earn big discounts when compared to drivers who are more careless.
  • New Vehicle Savings – Insuring a new car is cheaper due to better safety requirements for new cars.

It’s important to understand that some credits don’t apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like you could get a free insurance policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Companies that may have some of the above discounts are:

Double check with each insurance company what discounts are available to you. Discounts might not be offered in every state.

Car insurance coverages for a Chevy Silverado 2500HD

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for chiropractic care, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices, pain medications and dental work. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Collision protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers things like backing into a parked car, colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with another moving vehicle and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as rock chips in glass, fire damage, vandalism and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Auto liability insurance

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as structural damage, bail bonds, attorney fees, legal defense fees and medical services. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Chevy Silverado 2500HD.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Power to the consumer

People who switch companies do it for many reasons like denial of a claim, delays in paying claims, policy non-renewal and even being labeled a high risk driver. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new company is actually quite simple.

As you prepare to switch companies, you should never skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are a lot of situations where someone dropped liability coverage limits only to find out that they should have had better coverage. The ultimate goal is to buy enough coverage at an affordable rate while still protecting your assets.

Low-cost 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD insurance is attainable both online as well as from independent agents, and you should be comparing both to have the best selection. Some insurance companies don’t offer online price quotes and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.
