Use discounts to get cheaper insurance rates

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but you might already qualify for some discounts to reduce the price significantly. Certain credits will be shown at the time you complete a quote, but some discounts are required to be manually applied prior to receiving the credit.

  • Discount for New Cars – Buying a new car instead of a used car is cheaper due to better safety requirements for newer models.
  • Driver’s Ed – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to enroll in driver’s education in high school.
  • Government Employees – Active or retired federal employment can earn a discount up to 10% for Caravan insurance depending on your company.
  • Save with More Vehicles Insured – Purchasing coverage when you have multiple cars or trucks on one policy qualifies for this discount.
  • Drive Safe and Save – Accident-free drivers may receive a discount up to 45% for Caravan insurance than less cautious drivers.

Discounts reduce rates, but you should keep in mind that most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. So even though you would think adding up those discounts means a free policy, you aren’t that lucky.

  • Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?

Specific coverage details

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your 1991 Dodge Caravan.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from getting keyed, falling objects, vandalism and fire damage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, structural damage, emergency aid, pain and suffering and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as hitting a parking meter, colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail, sideswiping another vehicle and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses for rehabilitation expenses, funeral costs, hospital visits, doctor visits and ambulance fees. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Shop smart and save

There are still a few companies who don’t offer rate quotes online and many times these small insurance companies only sell coverage through independent insurance agencies. Cheaper 1991 Dodge Caravan insurance can be found both online and with local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture.

As you restructure your insurance plan, you should never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There have been many situations where someone sacrificed comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to regret at claim time that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your goal is to buy a smart amount of coverage at the best cost, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
