Discounts on Cadillac Brougham insurance

Car insurance is not cheap, but you may find discounts to cut the cost considerably. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time of quoting, but some must be asked for before you get the savings. If you don’t get every credit you qualify for, you’re paying more than you need to.

  • No Charge for an Accident – Some insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before raising your premiums so long as you haven’t had any claims for a set time period.
  • Student in College – Kids in college living away from home attending college without a vehicle on campus can receive lower rates.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Being deployed with a military unit could mean lower rates.
  • Own a Home – Owning a home can save you money because of the fact that having a home is proof that your finances are in order.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount – Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes are safer to drive and will save you 10% or more.
  • Multi-policy Discount – If you have multiple policies with the same company you could get a discount of up to 20% off your total premium.
  • Discount for New Cars – Putting insurance coverage on a new car is cheaper compared to insuring an older model.
  • Federal Employees – Simply working for the federal government can earn a discount up to 10% for Brougham coverage depending on your company.
  • Drivers Ed for Students – Require your teen driver to complete a driver education course in school.

It’s important to note that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So despite the fact that it appears adding up those discounts means a free policy, you’re out of luck. But all discounts will bring down the amount you have to pay.

Insurance companies who might offer these discounts include:

Double check with each insurance company which discounts you may be entitled to. All car insurance discounts may not apply in your area.

Tailor your coverage to you

When buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Every situation is different.

For example, these questions could help you determine if you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
  • Should I have a commercial auto policy?
  • Do I need higher collision deductibles?
  • When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
  • Am I getting all the discounts available?
  • How can I get my company to pay me more for my totalled car?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • How much can I save by bundling my policies?
  • Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form. It’s fast, free and you can get the answers you need.

Insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This gives you protection from other motorists when they 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 Cadillac Brougham.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Frequently these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Liability

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for claims like medical services, legal defense fees and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses like ambulance fees, doctor visits and surgery. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, falling objects, hitting a deer, damage from getting keyed and hitting a bird. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Brougham resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a parking meter and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Coverage on a shoestring budget

Discount 1996 Cadillac Brougham insurance is possible from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, so you should compare both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance companies may not provide the ability to get a quote online and many times these small, regional companies only sell through independent insurance agents.

When trying to cut insurance costs, do not skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. In too many instances, an insured dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret at claim time that it was a big error on their part. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price.

Insureds leave their current company for any number of reasons including unfair underwriting practices, not issuing a premium refund, questionable increases in premium and high prices. Regardless of your reason, finding a new company can be less work than you think.
