Finding a different company that has inexpensive car insurance could seem overwhelming if you are like most people and have never completed online price quotes. Don’t let that stop you because online price shopping is actually quite simple.
It’s important to compare rates once or twice a year due to the fact that insurance prices fluctuate regularly. Even if you got the best price on XTS coverage at your last renewal there is a good chance you can find better rate quotes now. You can find a lot of misleading information regarding auto insurance online, but I’m going to show you some guaranteed methods to put money back in your pocket.
All the larger insurance coverage companies like State Farm, Allstate and Geico allow consumers to get price estimates on their websites. Comparing prices online is fairly simple because you just enter your personal and coverage information into the quote form. After you complete the form, the company’s rating system requests information on your driving record and credit history and returns pricing information based on these factors.
This makes it a lot easier to compare rates but the process of having to visit many different websites and type in the same information is not the best way to spend an afternoon. But it’s very important to have as many quotes as possible if you want to find the lowest insurance coverage rates.
The smarter way to lower your insurance coverage bill uses one form that gets price quotes from many companies. The form is fast, requires less work, and makes comparison shopping much more efficient. After sending your information, it gets priced and you are able to buy any of the resulting price quotes. If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you can click and sign and purchase the new policy. This process just takes a couple of minutes and may save quite a bit of money.
To find out how much you can save on insurance coverage, click here and submit your coverage information. If you have coverage now, it’s recommended you replicate the insurance coverages just like they are on your policy. Doing this guarantees you are getting a rate comparison for exact coverage.
When buying adequate coverage, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is unique.
Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether or not you could use an agent’s help.
If you’re not sure about those questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with 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 which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Comprehensive protection
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as theft, damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass and vandalism. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist 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 your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Medical expense coverage
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for bills like X-ray expenses, doctor visits, dental work and prosthetic devices. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Liability
Liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability coverage pays for things like court costs, bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage pays for damage to your XTS resulting 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 protects against things like crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a parking meter and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

From northwest of Fort Smith, AR. Got car insurance rates from AIG Insurance, Encompass, and Safeco for my Cadillac and saved around $510 a year. Just go online and compare their rates.
