Drivers who switch save $467 a year? Really?

Car insurance companies such as Progressive, Allstate and GEICO constantly bombard you with ads in print and on television. They all seem to make the same claim about savings if you switch to them. But how can every company make almost identical claims?

All companies have a preferred profile for the driver they prefer to insure. For example, a driver they prefer could possibly be between 30 and 50, owns a home, and has a short commute. Any new insured who meets those qualifications gets the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to save a lot of money.

Potential customers who don’t meet the “perfect” profile will have to pay more money which leads to business going elsewhere. Company advertisements say “customers who switch” but not “drivers who get quotes” save that much money. This is how insurance companies can confidently advertise the way they do.

Because of the profiling, you need to get quotes from several different companies. It’s not possible to predict which car insurance company will have the lowest Toyota Corolla insurance rates.

Coverages available on your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Toyota Corolla.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Corolla resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims like damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a building and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as funeral costs, nursing services, hospital visits and ambulance fees. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against things like court costs, legal defense fees and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like theft, damage from getting keyed, vandalism, damage from a tornado or hurricane and damage from flooding. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Never pay more for less

Lower-priced 2011 Toyota Corolla insurance is available both online in addition to many insurance agents, and you need to price shop both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who do not provide you the ability to get quotes online and these regional insurance providers work with independent agents.

When buying insurance coverage, it’s very important that you do not buy less coverage just to save a little money. In many cases, someone sacrificed liability limits or collision coverage to discover at claim time that it was a big mistake. The aim is to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford.
