1993 Acura Legend Insurance Rates

Feel like you’re a prisoner to an overpriced car insurance policy? Believe me, there are many consumers feeling the pinch from expensive car insurance. Because there are so many companies to choose from, it’s difficult to find the best insurance company.

It is always a good idea to get comparison quotes on a regular basis since insurance rates trend upward over time. Just because you found the best deal for Legend coverage two years ago other companies may now be cheaper. There is a lot of wrong information about car insurance online but by reading this article, you’re going to learn some good information on how to buy car insurance cheaper.

The easiest way to compare rates is to know car insurance companies participate in a system to give free rates quotes. The one thing you need to do is give the companies some data such as if you went to college, if you require a SR-22, whether the vehicles are used for commuting, and level of coverage desired. Your rating data gets transmitted to many highly-rated insurers and you should receive rate quotes quickly.

Are you falling for claims of savings?

Consumers constantly see and hear ads for cheaper car insurance by companies like State Farm, Allstate and GEICO. All the ads have a common claim that you’ll save big if you change to them.

How does each company claim to save you money?

Insurance companies have a preferred profile for the driver they prefer to insure. For example, a driver they prefer might be profiled as a mature driver, has no prior claims, and has great credit. A customer who matches those parameters is entitled to the best price and as a result will probably save when they switch companies.

Consumers who don’t measure up to the requirements will be quoted a higher premium which usually ends up with business going elsewhere. The ads state “customers who switch” not “people who quote” save money. That is how companies can advertise the savings.

This emphasizes why it is so important to get a wide range of price quotes. It’s not possible to predict which company will have the lowest Acura Legend insurance rates.

Take advantage of discounts

The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but you may find discounts that many people don’t even know exist. Most are applied when you get a quote, but a few must be asked for in order for you to get them. If you don’t get every credit available, you’re paying more than you need to.

  • Good Students Pay Less – Getting good grades can earn a discount of 20% or more. The discount lasts well after school through age 25.
  • Anti-lock Brakes – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles are safer to drive and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Student in College – Any of your kids who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle may be able to be covered for less.
  • Sign Early and Save – Some insurance companies reward drivers for buying a policy prior to your current policy expiration. It can save you around 10%.
  • Anti-theft Discount – Vehicles with anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and will save you 10% or more.
  • Discount for New Cars – Buying coverage on a new vehicle is cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Multiple Vehicles – Insuring multiple vehicles with the same company qualifies for this discount.
  • Air Bag Discount – Cars that have air bags or motorized seat belts may earn rate discounts of 20% or more.
  • Military Rewards – Having a family member in the military could mean lower rates.
  • Paperless Signup – Some insurance companies give back up to $50 just for signing your application online.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. Just because it seems like you could get a free car insurance policy, it just doesn’t work that way. Any qualifying discounts will cut the cost of coverage.

Check with each company which discounts they offer. Some discounts may not apply in every state.

How to know if you need help

  • When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?

Insurance coverages and their meanings

Having a good grasp of insurance can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.

Coverage for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses like doctor visits, nursing services, pain medications, ambulance fees and EMT expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability car insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, structural damage and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. 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 damage from flooding, hail damage and theft. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Acura Legend.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Frequently these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Legend caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things such as hitting a parking meter, sustaining damage from a pot hole, damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Pennies from heaven

We just presented some good ideas how you can shop for 1993 Acura Legend insurance online. The key concept to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the higher the chance of saving money. You may even find the most savings is with the smaller companies. Smaller companies can often insure niche markets at a lower cost as compared to the big name companies such as Allstate, GEICO and Progressive.

When buying insurance coverage, do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There have been many situations where someone sacrificed liability limits or collision coverage only to discover later that the savings was not a smart move. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.
