Not too many consumers would say auto insurance is affordable, but you might find some hidden discounts that many consumers don’t even know exist. Certain discounts will be applied at the time you complete a quote, but some may not be applied and must be requested specifically before you will receive the discount.
Just know that some credits don’t apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. Even though the math looks like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you aren’t that lucky.
Companies and some of the discounts are detailed below.
When comparing rates, check with each insurance company which credits you are entitled to. Some discounts might not be available to policyholders in your area.
Many things are part of the equation when pricing auto insurance. Most are fairly basic such as your driving record, but other criteria are more transparent such as your marital status or how financially stable you are.The best way to find cheaper insurance is to take a look at some of the things that help calculate the level of your policy premiums. When you understand what controls the rates you pay, this enables you to make decisions that will entitle you to lower premium levels.
The itemized list below are most of the major factors insurance companies consider when setting your rates.
When it comes to buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no perfect coverage plan. Every insured’s situation is different.

Knowing the specifics of insurance helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Collision – Collision insurance covers damage to your Allante 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 insurance covers things like scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Liability – This can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. 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 protects against things like bail bonds, medical expenses, repair costs for stationary objects and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
Comprehensive coverages – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as hail damage, damage from flooding, vandalism and fire damage. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Coverage for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses for X-ray expenses, dental work and ambulance fees. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Uninsured and underinsured coverage – This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Cadillac Allante.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Frequently these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
More affordable insurance can be purchased online as well as from insurance agents, so you need to shop insurance with both so you have a total pricing picture. Some companies may not have online quoting and many times these regional carriers sell through independent agents.
Consumers switch companies for many reasons like denial of a claim, unfair underwriting practices, high rates after DUI convictions or even extreme rates for teen drivers. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch switching companies can be easy and end up saving you some money.
When getting insurance quotes online, do not buy less coverage just to save a little money. There are too many instances where an insured cut liability coverage limits only to regret at claim time that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your focus should be to get the best coverage possible at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.
