Wish you could get out of an overpriced insurance policy? It’s a common feeling and many drivers have buyer’s remorse. Numerous auto insurance companies battle to insure your vehicles, and it can be difficult to compare rates to find the absolute lowest rate possible.

Getting a cheaper price on 2016 Buick Regal insurance is pretty simple and can save money. All that’s required is to invest a few minutes to compare free insurance coverage quotes to find. Rate comparisons can be done using one of these methods.
How you compare quotes is your choice, just do your best to enter the exact same information on every price quote you get. If you are comparing mixed coverages it will be next to impossible to make an equal comparison.
The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but there could be available discounts that you may not even know about. Certain reductions will be credited when you quote, but a few need to be specifically requested before being credited. If you aren’t receiving every discount you deserve, you’re paying more than you need to.
As a sidenote, most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. So despite the fact that it appears adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies don’t profit that way.
Companies that possibly offer these discounts may include but are not limited to:
When quoting, ask every prospective company which discounts can lower your rates. Some of the earlier mentioned discounts might not be offered on policies everywhere. If you would like to view auto insurance companies that provide some of the discounts listed above, follow this link.

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills like dental work, prosthetic devices and chiropractic care. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Buick Regal.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Comprehensive insurance – This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from flooding, hitting a deer, theft, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and fire damage. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things such as backing into a parked car, damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a ditch, colliding with another moving vehicle and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
Liability coverages – Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for claims like structural damage, emergency aid, loss of income, funeral expenses and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

All companies are crooks. From Huntington, WV. Got rates from AIG Insurance, Mercury, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my Buick and I think I cut my rates about $60 each month. Thankfully I have a good driving record. I got prices on the web.
