No car owner enjoys paying for auto insurance, especially when the cost is too high. Due to the large number of insurance providers from which to choose, it’s nearly impossible to pick a lower cost insurance company.
Most companies provide coverage prices on their websites. Obtaining pricing doesn’t take much effort because it’s just a matter of typing in your personal and coverage information into the form. Behind the scenes, the company’s rating system automatically orders reports for credit and driving violations and returns a price quote based on these and other factors. Online quotes makes it a lot easier to compare rates but the process of having to visit several different sites and complete many quote forms gets old quite quickly. But it’s necessary to have as many quotes as possible in order to get a better rate.
A more efficient way to lower your rates makes use of a single form that gets prices from a lot of companies. This type of form saves time, helps eliminate reptitive entry, and makes online price comparison much easier to do. After your information is entered, it gets priced with multiple companies and you can pick your choice of the pricing results.
If a lower price is quoted, it’s easy to complete the application and buy the policy. This process can be completed in a matter of minutes and you will know how your current rates stack up.

Learning about specific coverages of insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are typical coverages available from insurance companies.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2002 Lexus LS 430.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Liability insurance
This can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as medical services, structural damage, medical expenses, pain and suffering and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
Medical expense insurance
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses like surgery, chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, X-ray expenses and dental work. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision insurance
This covers damage to your LS 430 caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as colliding with a tree, driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail, hitting a parking meter and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hitting a bird, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
