It’s important to note that most discounts do not apply the the whole policy. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business.

When buying coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form.
Knowing the specifics of insurance helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like rock chips in glass, falling objects and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Collision – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Fleetwood caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as colliding with a tree, colliding with another moving vehicle and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Liability coverage – This protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see limits of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage pays for things such as medical expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Cadillac Fleetwood.
Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Medical payments coverage and PIP – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as funeral costs, X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices, surgery and EMT expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
As you restructure your insurance plan, you should never buy poor coverage just to save money. There have been many cases where someone sacrificed comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to regret at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your goal is to buy enough coverage for the lowest price.

Will State Farm be cheaper if I raise deductibles?
Dewey Mcdowell
Cheaper not always better. Got a quote with Hartford for my Fleetwood and saved about $90 a year. Insured with Hanover before.
Edmundo Bender
Just my two cents. I’m from Des Moines, Iowa. Quoted with Nationwide, Esurance, Allstate, and AAA for my Cadillac and I think I am saving around $30 each month. My Cadillac doesn’t have full coverage.
Elden Peterson
Thought I’d throw in my experience. I’m in Dallas, TX. I quoted with Progressive, Amica, Farmers, and The General for my Fleetwood and saved just over $100 a year. Was with Amica. I even had a DUI years ago. I just quoted rates online. Only insure liability on my Cadillac.
Tam Baker
I got decent rates for a 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood in Portland, ME. Ended up at roughly $110 every six months with AAA. Was with USAA. I don’t insure for physical damage though.
Edwin Davis
Like your site, BTW. I live in Tucson, Arizona. Received rates from GEICO, Liberty Mutual, and Encompass for my 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood and am saving around $70 a year. Good savings if you bundle. Bought it from an online quote.

If you don’t have tickets and live near Dover, DE, check out 21st Century. You might get cheaper rates. :)
Hayden Mooney
Not sure what I should be paying. Lifelong resident of Portland, ME. Quoted quotes with AIG Insurance, Safeco, and USAA for my Cadillac and I’m now saving $19 a month. I have kids on my policy, too.
Nicolette Wolfe
If you have a good history and live in the vicinity of Rapid City, SD, check out 21st Century. They seem to be cheaper. Even increased coverage a bit. Not sure if rates are cheaper online or through an agent.
Tanna Wilcox
From Columbus, GA, and Allstate rates were best.
Christiana Benjamin
I’m looking for cheaper coverage. I live in a small town just outside of Houston, TX. Compared rates from a lot of places. Saved right around $20 a month. Progressive was the cheapest option for me. Insured with Sentry before. It’s too old for full coverage.
Cathey Oliver
Does Progressive have good claim service?
