How Much Does 1993 Infiniti J30 Insurance Cost?

Looking for cheaper insurance coverage rates for your Infiniti J30? Finding the lowest price for insurance coverage can be a challenge if you have never used online quoting. But don’t be discouraged because online price shopping is actually quite simple.

It’s a good habit to compare prices once or twice a year because insurance rates go up and down regularly. Even if you got the best deal for J30 coverage a year ago other companies may now be cheaper. There is a lot of bad advice regarding insurance coverage online, so we’re going to give you some of the best ways to slash your insurance coverage rates.

Insurance Coverage Prices

The are a couple different ways to get quotes and find the best price. The simplest method to find the lowest 1993 Infiniti J30 rates is to get quotes online. This can be done in several different ways.

  1. The single most time-saving way to get the best comparison quotes is to use a rate comparison form like this one (opens in new window). This easy form prevents you from having to do repetitive form entry for each company. A single, simple form will return price quotes instantly. This is by far the quickest method.
  2. A harder way to analyze rates is spending the time to visit the website for each individual company and fill out their own quote form. For sake of this example, let’s say you want to compare rates from GEICO, Safeco and State Farm. To get each rate you have to go to every website and enter your information, and that’s why the first method is more popular. For a handy list of car insurance company links in your area, click here.
  3. The hardest method to get comparison rates is driving around to local insurance agencies. The internet can eliminate the need for a local agent unless you have a need for the professional advice that only a license agent can provide. It is possible to price shop online and get advice from an agent in your area and we’ll talk about that later.

It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just ensure you’re using apples-to-apples coverage information for each price quote. If you enter differing limits it’s not possible to truly determine the lowest rate. Just a small difference in coverages could mean much higher rates. Just remember that quoting more will improve the odds of getting better pricing.

Lots of discounts mean lots of savings

Car insurance can cost a lot, but discounts can save money and there are some available to cut the cost considerably. Most are applied when you purchase, but lesser-known reductions have to be inquired about in order for you to get them.

  • College Student – Children who are attending college and do not have a car can receive lower rates.
  • Drive Safe and Save – Drivers who don’t get into accidents can pay as much as 50% less for J30 coverage than drivers with accidents.
  • Life Insurance Discount – Larger companies have a discount if you purchase life insurance.
  • Military Rewards – Being on active duty in the military can result in better rates.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings – Driving fewer miles can qualify you for lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • Air Bag Discount – Vehicles with factory air bags or motorized seat belts can qualify for discounts of 20% or more.
  • Safety Course Discount – Taking a driver safety course can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Anti-theft Discount – Anti-theft and alarm systems help deter theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • Organization Discounts – Belonging to a professional or civic organization is a good way to get lower rates on your policy for J30 coverage.

Keep in mind that some credits don’t apply to the entire cost. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. So when it seems like it’s possible to get free car insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way. Any qualifying discounts will cut your premiums.

Insurance companies that possibly offer some of the above discounts include:

Check with each insurance company how you can save money. Some discounts might not be offered in your area.

Pieces of the Infiniti J30 insurance rate puzzle

Smart consumers have a good feel for the different types of things that play a part in calculating the rates you pay for car insurance. Knowing what impacts premium levels allows you to make educated decisions that could result in big savings.

Shown below are a partial list of the pieces companies use to determine premiums.

  • Lower rates with optional equipment – Choosing a vehicle with a theft deterrent system can get you a discount on your car insurance. Theft prevention devices like tamper alarm systems, vehicle immobilizer technology and General Motors OnStar can thwart your car from being stolen.
  • Bump up deductibles to save – Your deductibles represent how much money you are required to spend out-of-pocket in the event of a claim. Coverage for physical damage, also known as collision and other-than-collision, covers damage that occurs to your car. Some instances where coverage would apply could be colliding with a building, vandalism, and burglary. The higher the amount you are required to pay out-of-pocket, the lower your rates will be for J30 coverage.
  • How many coverages with the same company – The majority of insurers give discounts to customers who buy several policies from them, otherwise known as a multi-policy discount. Even with this discount, it’s in your best interest to shop around to verify if the discount is saving money.
  • Being married can save on car insurance – Getting married can get you a discount on car insurance. Marriage is viewed as being more mature than a single person and statistics show being married results in fewer claims.
  • Do you need the policy add-ons? – There are quite a few extra coverages that you can get tricked into buying on your car insurance policy. Coverages for personal injury protection, accidental death and term life insurance are examples of these. These coverages may sound good initially, but if they’re wasting money eliminate them to save money.

Situations that might require an agent

When buying coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

These are some specific questions can help discover if your situation could use an agent’s help.

  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
  • Does my policy pay for OEM or aftermarket parts?
  • Is my 1993 Infiniti J30 covered for flood damage?
  • What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form.

The car insurance bait and switch

Car insurance companies such as State Farm and Allstate consistently run ads on television and other media. They all seem to make an identical promise that you’ll save big if you change to their company. But how can every company make the same claim?

Insurance companies can use profiling for the right customer that makes them money. A good example of a profitable customer might be profiled as a mature driver, has no tickets, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. Any driver that hits that “sweet spot” will qualify for the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to save when they switch companies.

Potential insureds who do not match these standards must pay higher premiums and ends up with the customer not buying. The ads state “customers who switch” not “everyone that quotes” save money. That’s why companies can truthfully advertise the savings.

This illustrates why it is so important to get as many quotes as possible. It’s just too difficult to predict which company will have the lowest Infiniti J30 insurance rates.

What insurance coverages do you need?

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 1993 Infiniti J30.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Normally these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against things like emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects, funeral expenses and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from flooding and hail damage. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical expense insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses like EMT expenses, dental work, pain medications, prosthetic devices and rehabilitation expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your J30 resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

More quotes mean more savings

Lower-priced 1993 Infiniti J30 insurance is possible both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best rate selection. Some companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

Insureds switch companies for any number of reasons including policy non-renewal, poor customer service, delays in responding to claim requests and even lack of trust in their agent. No matter why you want to switch, switching insurance companies can be less work than you think.

As you restructure your insurance plan, it’s a bad idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are many occasions where drivers have reduced uninsured motorist or liability limits only to find out that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your aim should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.
