Insurance Coverage Prices

All major insurance coverage companies like Allstate and Progressive quote prices on their websites. Getting quotes is pretty easy as you just enter your personal and coverage information into a form. After the form is submitted, their rating system collects your driving and credit reports and generates pricing information based on these factors.

This simplifies rate comparisons, but the time required to go to several different sites and fill out multiple forms is not the best way to spend an afternoon. Unfortunately, it is important to compare as many rates as possible if you are searching for lower prices.

If the quotes result in lower rates, it’s easy to complete the application and buy the new coverage. This process takes just a few minutes to complete and can result in significant savings.

Specific coverages for a Saab 9-3

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses such as pain medications, nursing services, funeral costs, X-ray expenses and EMT expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against things like pain and suffering, court costs and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Auto collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your 9-3 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for things like scraping a guard rail, backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism, rock chips in glass, hitting a deer and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Saab 9-3.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
