Car Insurance Prices

All major car insurance companies allow you to get prices for coverage on the web. Obtaining pricing is pretty easy as you just type in your required coverages into the quote form. Behind the scenes, the company’s rating system will order information on your driving record and credit history and gives you a price quote determined by many factors. Online price quotes simplifies rate comparisons, but having to visit multiple sites and enter the same data into a form gets old quite quickly. But it’s absolutely necessary to have as many quotes as possible in order to get the best price possible.

The preferred way to lower your rates uses one simple form to obtain quotes from a bunch of companies at once. It’s a real time-saver, reduces the work, and makes online shopping a lot less work. Immediately after you send the form, it is quoted and you are able to buy any of the quotes that you receive.

If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you can click and sign and buy the new coverage. The whole process takes less than 15 minutes and may save quite a bit of money.

Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Liability

This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover 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 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers claims such as attorney fees, funeral expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, legal defense fees and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like hospital visits, pain medications and doctor visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

UM/UIM Coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Suzuki Esteem.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Esteem resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things like scraping a guard rail, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car and driving through your garage door. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

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

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane, hail damage and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
