Lower Your 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Car Insurance Quotes

Locating budget insurance can be intimidating for people that are relatively new to comparing and buying insurance online. With such a large number of online companies, how are people expected to efficiently compare every company to locate cheaper insurance rates?

Finding car insurance

There are a lot of ways to compare car insurance prices but there is one way that is less time-consuming than others. You could spend the better part of a day discussing policy coverages with insurance companies in your area, or you could use online quotes to get rate comparisons in just a few minutes.

Most of the best insurance companies take part in a program where insurance shoppers submit one quote, and every company can give them a price based on that data. This saves time by eliminating quote requests for every car insurance company.

The only downside to pricing coverage this way is that consumers can’t choose which companies to get pricing from. So if you want to choose specific providers to request quotes from, we put together a list of companies who write car insurance in your area. Click here to view list.

It’s up to you which method you use, but make darn sure you compare exactly the same deductibles and coverage limits on every quote you get. If you use differing limits you will not be able to decipher which rate is best. Just a small difference in limits may result in a large different in cost. Keep in mind that comparing more company’s prices will increase your chances of finding more affordable rates. Some regional insurers cannot provide rate quotes online, so it’s important to compare rates from those companies as well.

Do I just need basic coverages?

When choosing coverage, there is no one size fits all plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether or not you might need an agent’s assistance.

  • Will my vehicle be repaired with OEM or aftermarket parts?
  • Is rental equipment covered for theft or damage?
  • What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?
  • Am I covered if I break a side mirror?
  • Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?
  • Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?

If you’re not sure about those questions, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form.

Auto insurance coverage information

Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Liability coverage

Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for claims like medical services, emergency aid, medical expenses, funeral expenses and court costs. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as much as you can afford.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like ambulance fees, chiropractic care, funeral costs, surgery and EMT expenses. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Grand Cherokee resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things like driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as hitting a bird, hitting a deer, hail damage and damage from flooding. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

In any little way, save everyday

Insureds who switch companies do it for a number of reasons such as delays in paying claims, extreme rates for teen drivers, being labeled a high risk driver and high prices. No matter why you want to switch, choosing a new company is not as difficult as it may seem.

We’ve covered a lot of information how to save on 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee insurance. The key thing to remember is the more times you quote, the better chance you’ll have of finding affordable insurance coverage. You may be surprised to find that the lowest car insurance rates come from some of the smallest insurance companies.

When buying insurance coverage, it’s a bad idea to sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. Too many times, someone dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits and found out when filing a claim that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. The goal is to buy enough coverage at the lowest possible cost.
