Trying to find the cheapest car insurance rates for your Mitsubishi Galant? Cutting costs on car insurance is kind of frustrating for drivers who have little experience quoting coverage prices online. Consumers have so many options available that it can quickly become a burden to find the lowest price.
It’s a great practice to get comparison quotes yearly because prices change quite often. Even if you got the best quotes for Galant insurance last year other companies may now be cheaper. You’ll find quite a bit of inaccurate information about car insurance out there, but we’re going to give you some of the best techniques to lower your car insurance bill.
The easiest way to compare car insurance company rates is to know the trick most of the larger companies participate in online systems to provide you with a free rate quote. The only thing you need to do is give them rating details like how old drivers are, whether you have decent credit, if a SR-22 is needed, and your occupation. Your details is then submitted to insurance carriers in your area and they return rate quotes immediately.
Some insurers don’t always publicize all available discounts very clearly, so the below list has both well-publicized in addition to some of the lesser obvious discounts that you can inquire about if you buy car insurance online.
While discounts sound great, it’s important to understand that some of the credits will not apply the the whole policy. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as comprehensive or collision. If you do the math and it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business.
The best insurance coverage companies and a partial list of their discounts include:
Before buying, ask every company which discounts you qualify for. A few discounts might not be available to policyholders everywhere. If you would like to view providers with discount rates, follow this link.
When buying the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Every insured’s situation is different.
For example, these questions might point out whether you could use an agent’s help.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.
Having a good grasp of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses for things like surgery, pain medications, nursing services, X-ray expenses and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Collision insurance
Collision insurance covers damage to your Galant from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for things like hitting a mailbox, crashing into a building and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 1991 Mitsubishi Galant.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Comprehensive auto coverage
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, fire damage and vandalism. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Auto liability
Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against things like emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects, pain and suffering, court costs and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

If you have a good history and are close to Shreveport, Louisiana, check out Progressive. You might get cheaper rates. Got better coverage too. It’s still not cheap enough. Full coverage costs too much.
