Just because you had the lowest price on LS 400 insurance a few years ago other companies may now be cheaper. There is lot of inaccurate information about car insurance on the internet, but in a few minutes you can learn some of the best ways to buy car insurance cheaper.

Compare insurance rates

There are several ways to compare insurance quotes, and some are easier and takes less work. You can waste a few hours (or days) talking to local insurance agents in your area, or you can utilize the web to get rate comparisons in just a few minutes.

Most of the larger companies participate in a marketplace that enables customers to only type in their quote data once, and each participating company provides a quote based on the submitted data. This eliminates the need for quote requests for every insurance company.

The only downside to getting quotes like this is you cannot specify which insurance companies you want to price. If you would rather choose individual companies to compare, we have a listing of the cheapest insurance companies in your area. Click to view list.

You can choose any of those ways to find more affodable coverage, but be sure to compare equivalent quote data for each comparison quote. If each company quotes different coverage information it’s not possible to make an equal comparison. Just slight variations in limits could skew the results. And when comparing insurance rates, know that comparing more company’s prices provides better odds of finding a lower rate.

Lower rates by qualifying for discounts

The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but you may be missing some discounts that can drop the cost substantially. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically when you get a quote, but a few must be specifically requested prior to getting the savings.

  • Accident-Free Discounts – Drivers who stay claim-free get the best insurance coverage rates as opposed to bad drivers.
  • Military Rewards – Being deployed with a military unit may qualify for rate reductions.
  • Onboard Data Collection – Policyholders that allow companies to spy on vehicle usage through the use of a telematics system such as Allstate’s Drivewise and State Farm’s In-Drive system may get a rate reduction as long as the data is positive.
  • Federal Employees – Having worked for a branch of the government can save as much as 8% on LS 400 insurance with select insurance companies.
  • Senior Discount – If you’re over the age of 55, you could receive a slight reduction on a insurance quote on LS 400 insurance.
  • Use Seat Belts – Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to buckle up before driving may be able to save a few bucks on medical payment and PIP coverage.

  • Safe Driver Discount – Accident-free drivers can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates on LS 400 insurance compared to rates paid by drivers with frequent claims.

Car insurance is unique, just like you

When buying the best car insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is unique so your insurance needs to address that. For example, these questions could help you determine if you may require specific advice.

  • Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
  • Do I need higher collision deductibles?
  • Is business property covered if stolen from my car?
  • What exactly is covered by my policy?
  • Which is better, split liability limits or combined limits?
  • Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
  • Is a new car covered when I drive it off the dealer lot?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Car insurance coverages for a 1990 Lexus LS 400

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

UM/UIM Coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Liability auto insurance – Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability can pay for claims such as legal defense fees, repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as falling objects, damage from flooding, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and fire damage. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical costs insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, EMT expenses and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Collision coverage – This will pay to fix damage to your LS 400 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things such as crashing into a ditch, scraping a guard rail, damaging your car on a curb and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
