Comprehensive Insurance Comparison Quotes

Comparing insurance rates can take hours if you aren’t aware of the easiest way. You could waste a few hours driving to local insurance agents in your area, or you can utilize the internet to get pricing more quickly.

Most of the larger companies belong to an insurance system that enables customers to submit one quote, and at least one company returns a rated price. This prevents consumers from doing quote requests to every company. To submit your quote information now, click here to open in new window.

The one downside to doing it this way is buyers cannot specifically choose which providers to get pricing from. If you prefer to choose specific providers to request quotes from, we put together a list of companies who write insurance in your area. Click here for list of insurance companies.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but ensure you are comparing the exact same information with each company. If each company quotes different liability limits it’s impossible to truly determine the lowest rate. Slightly different coverage limits can make a big difference in price. It’s important to know that having more price comparisons helps locate the best offered rates.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions can aid in determining if you might need an agent’s assistance.

• I don’t drive much so do I pay less?
• Does my personal policy cover me when driving out-of-state?
• What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?
• Should I bundle my homeowners policy with my auto?
• Does my 2016 Acura ILX qualify for pleasure use?
• What is an SR-22 filing?
• Do I have newly-aquired coverage?
• Should I buy full coverage?
• Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
• What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of insurance coverage companies in your area.

Car insurance 101

Having a good grasp of a car insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays for damage to your ILX caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as crashing into a ditch, crashing into a building and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

UM/UIM Coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle 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 Acura ILX.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills for pain medications, ambulance fees, hospital visits, EMT expenses and funeral costs. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability coverages

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for 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. Your policy might show values of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like funeral expenses, pain and suffering and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like damage from flooding, damage from a tornado or hurricane and fire damage. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
