Looking for cheaper insurance rates for your Lexus SC 400? I can’t think of anyone who anticipates paying for insurance, especially when the price is too high.
Because you have many insurance companies to choose from, it’s nearly impossible to find a more affordable insurance provider.
Buying car insurance is not rocket science. Just about every driver who carries insurance coverage stands a good chance to be able to find better rates. Nevertheless, car owners need to learn how companies price insurance differently and take advantage of how the system works.
Shopping for lower car insurance rates can take hours if you aren’t aware of the most efficient way. You can spend countless hours talking to agents in your area, or you can stay home and use online quotes to quickly compare rates.
Many of the larger companies enroll in a system where prospective buyers enter their policy data once, and each company then gives them pricing based on that data. This saves time by eliminating repetitive form submissions to every company.
To fill out one form to compare multiple rates now click here (opens in new window).
The single downside to using this type of form is that you can’t choose the providers you want pricing from. So if you want to choose from a list of companies to request quotes from, we have a listing of car insurance companies in your area. View list of insurance companies.
It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just be certain you are entering the exact same quote data for each comparison quote. If you enter higher or lower deductibles then you won’t be able to determine the lowest rate for your Lexus SC 400. Quoting even small variations in insurance coverages or limits may cause a big price difference. And when comparison shopping, obtaining a wide range of quotes helps increase your odds of locating the best rates. Some insurance companies are not set up to provide prices over the internet, so you need to compare quotes from those companies as well.
Car insurance companies don’t list all their discounts in an easy-to-find place, so the list below contains some of the best known and also the more inconspicuous credits that may apply to you.
As a sidenote, most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies don’t profit that way.

When it comes to choosing the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no best way to insure your cars. Every insured’s situation is different so your insurance should reflect that For example, these questions might point out if your insurance needs might need professional guidance.
If you’re not sure about those questions, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.
Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverages found on most insurance policies.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Lexus SC 400.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for nursing services, chiropractic care, pain medications, doctor visits and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Comprehensive insurance – This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from flooding, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hail damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Liability coverages – This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for things such as pain and suffering, legal defense fees and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
Collision – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for claims such as crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

If you don’t have tickets and live near Aurora, CO, check out GEICO. You might get cheaper rates. They have a lot of discounts available. Not sure if rates are cheaper online or through an agent. Next renewal I’ll just do liability.
