Choosing the best insurance company for you is easy if you know what you’re doing. Consumers just need to learn the proper methods to shop for car insurance online.

Cut your premium with discounts

Car insurance is not cheap, but there could be available discounts to reduce the price significantly. Some trigger automatically at the time of purchase, but a few must be asked for before you will receive the discount. If you’re not getting every credit possible, you are paying more than you should be.

  • Pay Upfront and Save – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time instead of monthly or quarterly installments you could save up to 5%.
  • Auto/Home Discount – If you have multiple policies with one company you may save 10% to 20% off each policy.
  • Driver Safety – Successfully completing a defensive driving course could save 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Discount for New Cars – Putting insurance coverage on a new car can save up to 30% because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Student Driver Training – Require your teen driver to complete a driver education course in high school.
  • Multiple Cars – Buying coverage for all your vehicles with the same company qualifies for this discount.
  • Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Vehicles equipped with air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems may earn rate discounts up to 30%.

Keep in mind that many deductions do not apply to the entire cost. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like it’s possible to get free car insurance, companies don’t profit that way. Any amount of discount will cut your premiums.

Insurance companies who might offer these money-saving discounts may include but are not limited to:

Before buying, ask all companies you are considering what discounts are available to you. Savings may not be available everywhere.

Car Insurance Prices Online

Finding a better price on car insurance is surprisingly easy. The only requirement is to spend a few minutes comparing price quotes online with multiple companies. It is quite easy and can be accomplished using a couple different methods.

The first (and easiest) way to get the best comparison quotes is a comparison rater form (click to open form in new window). This method saves time by eliminating separate forms to each individual car insurance company. One form submission will get you price quotes from multiple low-cost companies.

A harder way to find lower rates requires visiting each individual company website and complete a new quote form. For example, we’ll assume you want to compare rates from Farmers, Progressive and American Family. To get rate quotes you would need to spend time on each company’s site and enter your information, which is why the first method is quicker. For a list of links to companies insuring cars in your area, click here.

The least efficient way to get comparison rates is to spend your day driving to local insurance agencies. The internet makes this process obsolete unless you require the professional guidance that only a license agent can provide. You can, however, comparison shop your insurance online but buy from a local insurance agent and you’ll learn how to do that later.

It’s up to you which method you use, but ensure you are comparing the exact same information for each comparison quote. If you have different deductibles then you won’t be able to determine the lowest rate for your Cadillac STS.

What is the best insurance coverage?

When choosing proper insurance coverage, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so your insurance should reflect that For instance, these questions could help you determine whether your personal situation will benefit from professional help.

  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
  • Does my 2007 Cadillac STS need full coverage?
  • Does insurance cover tools stolen from my truck?
  • Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in my state?
  • Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
  • Do all my vehicles need collision coverage?

If you’re not sure about those questions, you might consider talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form or click here for a list of insurance coverage companies in your area. It’s fast, free and can help protect your family.

Insurance specifics

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like theft, hitting a bird, hitting a deer and rock chips in glass. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers claims like attorney fees, legal defense fees, court costs, funeral expenses and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Cadillac STS.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your STS 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 insurance covers claims like hitting a parking meter, rolling your car, crashing into a building and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for pain medications, doctor visits and surgery. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Power to the consumer

As you restructure your insurance plan, never reduce needed coverages to save money. There have been many situations where someone dropped liability coverage limits and learned later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your focus should be to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.

Lower-priced 2007 Cadillac STS insurance is possible on the web and with local insurance agents, so compare prices from both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some auto insurance companies do not offer the ability to get a quote online and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.
