Cheaper 2018 Kia Stinger Insurance Rates

Searching for cheaper insurance coverage rates for your Kia Stinger? Nobody I know anticipates paying for insurance coverage, especially when the prices are way too high.

Popular companies such as Geico, 21st Century and Progressive continually bombard you with ad campaigns and consumers find it hard to ignore the flying pigs and cute green geckos and take the time to shop coverage around.

How to find low cost insurance

There are several ways to compare rate quotes from many insurance companies in your state. The quickest method to find the lowest 2018 Kia Stinger rates is simply to get online rate quotes. This can be accomplished in a couple of different ways.

  • The best way to find the lowest comparison rates would be an industry-wide quote request form like this one (opens in new window). This method keeps you from doing repetitive form entry for each company. In just a few minutes this one form gets you coverage quotes from multiple low-cost companies.
  • A different way to get comparison quotes requires you to visit the website for each individual company and go through the quote process again. For instance, we’ll pretend you want to see prices from Liberty Mutual, Geico and Farmers. In order to compare rates, you need to go to each individual site and repeatedly type in your coverage information, which can get rather old.

However you get your quotes, double check that you are using nearly identical coverage limits and deductibles for each quote you get. If you use higher or lower deductibles you will not be able to make an equal comparison. Just a small difference in limits can result in a big premium difference. And when comparing insurance rates, know that getting more free quotes gives you a better chance of getting lower pricing. Some regional insurers cannot provide price estimates online, so it’s important to also get prices from them, too.

Double check you’re getting these money-saving discounts

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but you may be missing some discounts to help bring down the price. Certain discounts will be applied at the time of purchase, but lesser-known reductions have to be asked about prior to getting the savings.

  • Telematics Discount – Insureds who allow their insurance company to monitor when and where they use their vehicle remotely such as Progressive’s Snapshot might see lower rates if they show good driving skills.
  • Discount for Life Insurance – Insurance companies who offer life insurance give a small discount if you purchase a life policy as well.
  • Theft Deterent Discount – Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems are stolen with less frequency and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • No Accidents – Claim-free drivers pay much less when compared to drivers with a long claim history.
  • Good Students Pay Less – Excelling in school can get you a discount of up to 25%. Most companies allow this discount up until you turn 25.
  • Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Drivers who require all occupants to fasten their seat belts could cut 10% or more off the medical payments premium.
  • Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags may earn rate discounts of 25 to 30%.

Drivers should understand that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. Most only cut individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. So even though they make it sound like it’s possible to get free car insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

The best auto insurance companies and a selection of discounts are outlined below.

  • Geico offers premium reductions for military active duty, membership and employees, anti-theft, daytime running lights, and five-year accident-free.
  • Auto-Owners Insurance may offer discounts for company car, multi-policy, good student, air bags, and group or association.
  • American Family may have discounts that include TimeAway discount, Steer into Savings, multi-vehicle, accident-free, bundled insurance, early bird, and defensive driver.
  • Esurance discounts include good student, renters, paid-in-full, claim free, anti-lock brakes, and Switch & Save.
  • Progressive has discounts for multi-policy, continuous coverage, good student, online quote discount, homeowner, and online signing.
  • State Farm policyholders can earn discounts including Steer Clear safe driver discount, anti-theft, accident-free, student away at school, multiple policy, and Drive Safe & Save.
  • AAA offers discounts for pay-in-full, good driver, education and occupation, multi-policy, AAA membership discount, and anti-theft.

When getting a coverage quote, ask all companies you are considering to give you their best rates. Some of the discounts discussed earlier might not be offered in your state.

Do I need special coverages?

When buying adequate coverage for your vehicles, there really is no one size fits all plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different so this has to be addressed. These are some specific questions might help in determining if you could use an agent’s help.

  • When should I remove comp and collision on my 2018 Kia Stinger?
  • What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
  • Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
  • Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
  • Can I rent a car in Mexico?
  • Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Kia Stinger.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability insurance

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things such as medical expenses, legal defense fees and funeral expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

This covers damage to your Stinger resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things such as rolling your car, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a ditch and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses for pain medications, X-ray expenses, chiropractic care and EMT expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
