If you have a current auto insurance policy or are just looking to switch companies, you can use this information to shop for the lowest rates while maximizing coverage. Choosing the best insurance company for you is not that difficult. Vehicle owners only need an understanding of the most effective way to buy auto insurance online.
Insuring your fleet can be pricey, but you might be missing out on some discounts to cut the cost considerably. A few discounts will automatically apply at the time of quoting, but less common discounts must be requested specifically prior to getting the savings.
You should keep in mind that some credits don’t apply to the entire cost. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. Even though the math looks like it’s possible to get free car insurance, insurance companies aren’t that generous.
A list of insurance companies and a selection of discounts are:
If you are trying to find the cheapest insurance coverage quotes, ask every insurance company which discounts they offer. Depending on the company, some discounts may not apply to policyholders everywhere.

Understanding the coverages of auto insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverages available from auto insurance companies.
Liability coverages
Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability can pay for things like attorney fees, pain and suffering and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Medical expense insurance
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses for X-ray expenses, chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses and dental work. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers you and your occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Collision protection
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for things such as crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a parking meter and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your GMC Rally Wagon.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hail damage, a broken windshield and falling objects. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
As you restructure your insurance plan, it’s a bad idea to skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. In many instances, an insured dropped liability coverage limits and learned later that the savings was not a smart move. Your strategy should be to buy the best coverage you can find at the lowest possible cost while still protecting your assets.
We covered quite a bit of information on how to compare 1996 GMC Rally Wagon insurance prices online. The key concept to understand is the more times you quote, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. Consumers could even find that the lowest priced insurance comes from the least-expected company. These companies can often insure niche markets at a lower cost than their larger competitors like Geico and State Farm.

Thanks for putting this site together. I live on the east side of Norfolk, VA. Not sure of all the companies but I ended up saving about $30 each month. Insured with Eastwood before. Not worth enough to pay for comprehensive and collision.
