1992 Ford Thunderbird Insurance Rates – 10 Tricks for Best Quotes

Are you tired of not being able to afford each month for car insurance? You are no different than many other consumers. Consumers have many insurers to choose from, and although it’s a good thing to have a choice, it makes it harder to get the best deal.

Consumers need to check car insurance prices at least once a year due to the fact that insurance rates tend to go up over time. Even if you got the lowest price on Thunderbird insurance six months ago you may be paying too much now. Forget all the misinformation about car insurance because we’re going to demonstrate the fastest and easiest way to properly buy coverages while reducing your premium.

Car Insurance Prices

Getting better 1992 Ford Thunderbird car insurance pricing is not rocket science. You just need to take a couple of minutes comparing rates provided by online insurance companies. This can be accomplished in a couple of different ways.

• The fastest way to find the lowest comparison rates is to use a rate comparison form click to view form in new window. This method keeps you from doing multiple quote forms for each company. In just a few minutes this one form will return price quotes from car insurance companies with the best prices.
• A slightly less efficient method to compare prices requires a trip to each individual company website and complete a new quote form.

• The most time-consuming method to get comparison rates is to spend your day driving to insurance agents’ offices. The internet has reduced the need for local agents unless you want the personal advice of a licensed agent. Drivers can find lower rates online and still use a local agent.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but ensure you are comparing apples-to-apples coverages and limits for each price quote. If each company quotes different liability limits then you won’t be able to truly determine the lowest rate.

Which insurance is the “right” coverage?

• Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
• Are rental cars covered under my policy?

• Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
• What is the ISO rating for a 1992 Ford Thunderbird?
• What exactly is covered by my policy?
• How does medical payments coverage work?

If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent.

What insurance coverages do you need?

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from insurance companies.

Auto liability

This will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services, funeral expenses and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as hitting a deer, theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane and rock chips in glass. The highest 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 consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 1992 Ford Thunderbird.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage covers damage to your Thunderbird resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things such as backing into a parked car, hitting a mailbox, sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with another moving vehicle and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as ambulance fees, nursing services, hospital visits, chiropractic care and prosthetic devices. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
