Shopping for car insurance is not a task consumers fancy doing, but it’s mandatory when you drive.

Smart consumers take time to shop coverage around quite often because rates are adjusted regularly by insurance companies. Even if you got the lowest rates on TSX insurance a few years ago you may be paying too much now. You can find a lot of misleading information regarding auto insurance online, so by reading this article, you’re going to learn some solid techniques on how to reduce your auto insurance bill.

The fastest way that we advise to compare car insurance rates is to know the trick most insurance companies allow for online access to provide you with free rate quotes. The one thing you need to do is give them rating details including how much education you have, the type of vehicles you drive, distance driven, and the ages of drivers. That rating information is then sent to all major companies and they return rate quotes quickly.

Verify you’re getting all your discounts

Car insurance companies don’t always advertise all available discounts very well, so the following is a list of both well-publicized and the harder-to-find ways to save on insurance coverage.

  • Low Mileage – Fewer annual miles on your Acura can qualify you for discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
  • Braking Control Discount – Vehicles equipped with ABS or steering control prevent accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Multiple Policy Discount – When you combine your home and auto insurance with one insurance company you will save up to 20% off your total premium.
  • Accident Free – Claim-free drivers can save substantially compared to accident-prone drivers.
  • Drivers Education – Have your child successfully complete driver’s ed class in high school.
  • Resident Student – Children who are attending college and do not have a car may be able to be covered for less.
  • Early Signing – A few companies offer discounts for switching to them before your current expiration date. This can save 10% or more.
  • Good Student Discount – A discount for being a good student can earn a discount of 20% or more. This discount can apply well after school through age 25.

Consumers should know that some of the credits will not apply to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. Just because you may think adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Companies that may offer these discounts include:

Check with each company which discounts they offer. Savings might not apply in your state.

When should I talk to an agent?

When buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For example, these questions can aid in determining whether your personal situation would benefit from professional advice.

  • Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
  • Is my teenager covered with friends in the car?
  • How much liability do I need to cover my assets?
  • How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
  • Should I file a claim if it’s only slightly more than my deductible?
  • When should I drop full coverage on my 2014 Acura TSX?
  • Can I rent a car in Mexico?
  • Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.

Car insurance coverages for a 2014 Acura TSX

Learning about specific coverages of auto insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants 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.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Collision insurance

This coverage covers damage to your TSX caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things such as sideswiping another vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole and hitting a mailbox. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for things such as legal defense fees, repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as a broken windshield, damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed and falling objects. The most 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 consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses like nursing services, EMT expenses, chiropractic care, ambulance fees and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
