2004 Suzuki Verona Insurance Cost – 7 Ways to Save

Scraping up a payment for overpriced Suzuki Verona insurance can drain your personal savings, especially in this economy. Comparing price quotes is free, only takes a few minutes, and is a good way to tighten up your finances. Popular companies such as Progressive, State Farm and GEICO promote their brand names with catchy ads and it is challenging if not impossible to ignore the flashy ads and find the best price available.

Quick Insurance Coverage Quotes

Getting a lower price on 2004 Suzuki Verona insurance is a fairly straight forward process. All you need to do is take a few minutes getting comparison quotes provided by online insurance companies. This can be accomplished in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

  • The single most time-saving way consumers can analyze rates is a comparison rater form like this one (opens in new window). This type of form eliminates the need for a different quote for each company you want a rate for. One quote request gets rate comparisons from many national carriers.
  • A slightly less efficient method to compare prices requires visiting the website of each company to complete a price quote. For example, we’ll assume you want to compare rates from State Farm, Esurance and Allstate. You would have to take the time to go to each site to enter your coverage information, which is why the first method is quicker.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but ensure you’re using exactly the same deductibles and coverage limits with each company. If you are comparing different values for each quote you can’t possibly make a fair comparison for your Suzuki Verona.

Discounts are great for lower rates

Car insurance companies do not list all their discounts very clearly, so we break down both the well known and the harder-to-find ways to save on insurance coverage. If you’re not getting every credit possible, you are throwing money away.

  • Auto/Home Discount – If you have multiple policies with the same company you will save approximately 10% to 15%.
  • Student Driver Training – Require your teen driver to successfully complete driver’s ed class if it’s offered in school.
  • Low Mileage – Driving fewer miles can qualify you for better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Accident Free – Drivers with accident-free driving histories can earn big discounts compared to frequent claim filers.
  • Passive Restraint Discount – Vehicles with factory air bags can receive discounts of up to 25% or more.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Being on active duty in the military could mean lower rates.
  • Government Employees – Employees or retirees of the government could cut as much as 10% off for Verona coverage depending on your company.

Keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. Some only reduce individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you’re out of luck.

You may need specialized coverage

When choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a cookie cutter policy. Everyone’s situation is a little different and your policy should reflect that. For example, these questions may help you determine whether your personal situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • How do I buy GAP insurance?
  • What is PIP insurance?
  • Do I need medical payments coverage since I have good health insurance?
  • Should I buy full coverage?
  • What is high-risk coverage and where do I buy it?
  • Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
  • When should my teen driver be added to my policy?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, you may need to chat with an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form or click here for a list of insurance companies in your area. It only takes a few minutes and can provide invaluable advice.

Auto insurance coverages

Understanding the coverages of your policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses such as chiropractic care, dental work, rehabilitation expenses, X-ray expenses and ambulance fees. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers you and your occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Collision coverage – This coverage covers damage to your Verona resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for things like crashing into a ditch, colliding with a tree and driving through your garage door. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Suzuki Verona.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Liability car insurance – Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as court costs, pain and suffering and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive insurance – This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things like vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird and hitting a deer. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Quote often and quote early

Cheaper 2004 Suzuki Verona insurance can be bought online and also from your neighborhood agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some insurance providers may not provide online quoting and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s very important that you do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are many occasions where an insured dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to discover later that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. The proper strategy is to get the best coverage possible at the best price.
