Get lower rates on 2007 Cadillac DTS insurance

Car insurance companies don’t list all available discounts very well, so the following is a list of both well-publicized and also the lesser-known car insurance savings.

  • No Charge for an Accident – Certain companies permit an accident before hitting you with a surcharge if your claims history is clear for a certain period of time.
  • Payment Method – If you pay your bill all at once instead of monthly or quarterly installments you could save 5% or more.
  • Accident Free – Good drivers with no accidents can save substantially when compared with bad drivers.
  • Resident Student – Children living away from home attending college without a vehicle on campus may qualify for this discount.
  • Auto/Home Discount – If you insure your home and vehicles with the same insurance company you may earn at least 10% off all policies.
  • Safe Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates for DTS insurance than drivers with accident claims.

It’s important to understand that many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. Just because it seems like it’s possible to get free car insurance, it just doesn’t work that way.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to choosing the best auto insurance coverage, there really is no “perfect” insurance plan. Every insured’s situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining whether your personal situation will benefit from professional help.

  • What is medical payments coverage?
  • Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
  • Are rental cars covered under my policy?
  • Do I need an umbrella policy?
  • What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in my state?
  • Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?
  • Am I covered if my car is in a flood?
  • Which is better, split liability limits or combined limits?
  • Will I lose any money if I cancel my policy before it expires?
  • Am I insured when driving a different vehicle?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.

Insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from getting keyed, theft, hitting a bird and hail damage. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Medical expense coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like X-ray expenses, funeral costs, pain medications and dental work. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability 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. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers claims such as medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your DTS caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things like scraping a guard rail, hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your 2007 Cadillac DTS.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Power to the consumer

People leave their current company for any number of reasons including an unsatisfactory settlement offer, policy non-renewal, lack of trust in their agent or being labeled a high risk driver. No matter why you want to switch, finding the right auto insurance provider is pretty easy and you might even save some money in the process.

As you restructure your insurance plan, don’t be tempted to reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are a lot of situations where someone sacrificed uninsured motorist or liability limits and learned later they didn’t have enough coverage. Your aim should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.

Cheap 2007 Cadillac DTS insurance can be purchased online as well as from independent agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture. A few companies don’t offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these smaller companies sell through independent agents.
