How Much Does 2015 Volvo V60 Car Insurance Cost?

Looking for better insurance rates for your Volvo V60? Finding better insurance prices for a Volvo V60 can normally be difficult, but you can learn the following methods to make it easier.

There are more efficient ways to buy insurance and we’ll show you the proper way to get price quotes on a Volvo and obtain the lowest price from both online companies and local agents.

How to Lower Your Insurance Cost

Finding lower insurance rates is not a difficult process. The only thing you need to do is take time comparing rate quotes from different insurance companies. This can be accomplished in several different ways.

The first (and easiest) way to find the lowest comparison rates is to use a rate comparison form click to view form in new window. This form keeps you from doing a different quote for each company. A single form gets you price quotes direct from many companies.It’s the quickest way to get rates.
A harder way to obtain and compare quotes online consists of visiting each individual company website and fill out their own quote form. For instance, we’ll assume you want rates from Allstate, State Farm and GEICO. You would have to go to every website and enter your information, which is why the first method is more popular.

The most time-consuming way of comparing rate quotes is to spend time driving to and from local insurance agencies. Buying insurance online has reduced the need for local agents unless you prefer the trained guidance only provided by licensed agents. You can, however, compare the best prices online and still use a local agent. We’ll cover that shortly.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but be sure to compare exactly the same coverage limits with each company. If you enter different values for each quote you will not be able to determine the lowest rate for your Volvo V60.

Cut prices on 2015 Volvo V60 insurance

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but companies offer discounts to reduce the price significantly. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time you complete a quote, but less common discounts must be inquired about before you will receive the discount. If you don’t get every credit possible, you are throwing money away.

Homeowners Pay Less – Owning a home may earn you a small savings because of the fact that having a home demonstrates responsibility.
Memberships – Being a member of a civic or occupational organization could qualify you for a break on insurance for V60 insurance.
Theft Prevention Discount – Cars that have factory anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
Senior Discount – If you’re over the age of 55, you may be able to get a discount up to 10% for V60 insurance.
Discount for Swiching Early – Select companies give a discount for switching policies before your current expiration date. The savings is around 10%.
Lower Rates for Military – Having a deployed family member could be rewarded with lower premiums.
Anti-lock Brakes – Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes prevent accidents and earn discounts up to 10%.
Passive Restraints – Factory air bags or motorized seat belts may earn rate discounts of more than 20%.

It’s important to note that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire policy premium. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. Just because it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won’t be that lucky. Any amount of discount will help reduce your overall premium however.

I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
Does my policy pay for OEM or aftermarket parts?
Does car insurance cover theft of personal property?
Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
Can I rent a car in Mexico?

Insurance policy coverages for a 2015 Volvo V60

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage covers damage to your V60 caused by collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability coverage

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t 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 values of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for things like funeral expenses, emergency aid, attorney fees and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills for X-ray expenses, ambulance fees, funeral costs, pain medications and chiropractic care. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Volvo V60.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as vandalism, damage from a tornado or hurricane and theft. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
