It’s important to do rate comparisons on a regular basis because prices are rarely the same from one policy term to another.

Starting right now, block out anything you think you know about insurance coverage because we’re going to show you how to use online quotes to lower your annual insurance bill.

Buying car insurance is not rocket science. Just about every vehicle owner who is required by state law to have auto insurance will more than likely be able to reduce their rates. Although consumers can benefit from knowing how insurance companies determine prices.

Discounts mean cheaper 1996 Toyota Paseo insurance rates

Companies offering auto insurance don’t always advertise every available discount in a way that’s easy to find, so the following is a list of some of the more common and the more hidden savings tricks you should be using.

  • Discount for Good Grades – Getting good grades can get you a discount of up to 25%. The discount lasts up to age 25.
  • Government Employees – Active or retired federal employment could cut as much as 10% off for Paseo insurance with select insurance companies.
  • Military Discounts – Being deployed with a military unit may qualify for rate reductions.
  • Theft Prevention System – Vehicles with anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • Accident Waiver – A handful of insurance companies allow you one accident before raising your premiums if your claims history is clear for a certain period of time.

It’s important to note that some of the credits will not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. Just because it seems like you could get a free car insurance policy, it doesn’t quite work that way.

Tailor your coverage to you

When buying adequate coverage, there is no single plan that fits everyone. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For instance, these questions could help you determine whether you could use an agent’s help.

  • Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
  • Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
  • When should I drop full coverage on my 1996 Toyota Paseo?
  • Am I getting all the discounts available?
  • Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
  • Where can I find DUI or SR-22 insurance?
  • When would I need additional glass coverage?
  • How can I force my company to pay a claim?
  • What is UM/UIM insurance?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Car insurance coverage information

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are typical coverage types found on most insurance policies.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills like surgery, nursing services and EMT expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from flooding, theft and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for things like repair costs for stationary objects, pain and suffering and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

This pays for damage to your Paseo from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as crashing into a building, sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Stretch your dollar

As you restructure your insurance plan, it’s very important that you do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. In too many instances, drivers have reduced comprehensive coverage or liability limits and found out when filing a claim that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. The ultimate goal is to purchase plenty of coverage at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.

We just presented a lot of information how to reduce 1996 Toyota Paseo insurance prices online. The key concept to understand is the more providers you compare, the higher your chance of finding lower rates. Drivers may discover the best prices are with the smaller companies. These companies can often provide lower rates in certain areas as compared to the big name companies such as State Farm or Progressive.

Affordable insurance is possible online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to comparison shop both in order to have the best chance of saving money. A few companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.
