Want cheaper car insurance rates for your Buick Enclave? No one in their right mind looks forward to paying premiums for car insurance, particularly when they could find lower prices if they just compared rates.
Online insurance companies like State Farm, Geico and Farmers Insurance all claim big savings with advertising and it can be hard to see past the geckos and flying pigs and do the work needed to find the best deal.
Some providers don’t always list all possible discounts very well, so the next list breaks down both the well known in addition to some of the lesser obvious savings tricks you should be using when you buy insurance coverage online.
We need to note that some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. Most only cut individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. So when it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you aren’t that lucky. But all discounts will help lower the cost of your policy.

The best way we recommend to get rate comparisons is to realize most insurance companies will pay a fee to give rate comparisons. The only thing you need to do is give the companies some data like if you’re married, whether you have decent credit, whether you drive to work or school, and the year, make and model of vehicles. Your rating data gets transmitted to many highly-rated insurers and they return cost estimate almost instantly.
When choosing coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s situation is unique so this has to be addressed. These are some specific questions might point out if your insurance needs would benefit from an agent’s advice.
If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are typical coverages found on most insurance policies.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage covers damage to your Enclave caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for claims like crashing into a ditch, rolling your car, colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Insurance for medical payments
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses such as EMT expenses, ambulance fees, funeral costs and hospital visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as rock chips in glass, hitting a deer, hitting a bird, falling objects and a broken windshield. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Auto liability insurance
This protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers claims such as emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects, 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 large an amount as possible.
As you quote insurance coverage, it’s a bad idea to skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There have been many cases where an accident victim reduced collision coverage only to regret that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your objective should be to find the BEST coverage for the lowest price.
Low-cost 2017 Buick Enclave insurance can be found on the web and from local insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. A few companies may not offer internet price quotes and most of the time these regional insurance providers prefer to sell through independent agencies.
