Trying to find the cheapest auto insurance rates for your Dodge Avenger? Searching for the cheapest insurance for your Dodge Avenger can turn out to be a painful process, but you can learn a few tricks to find lower rates.
There are more efficient ways to buy auto insurance so we’re going to tell you the proper way to price shop coverage for a new or used Dodge and find the best price possible from both online companies and local agents.
It’s a great practice to compare rates before your next renewal since rates are variable and change quite frequently. Just because you had the lowest rate on Avenger insurance a few years ago you can probably find a better price now. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about auto insurance because I’m going to let you in on the secrets to one of the easiest ways to save money, get proper deductibles and limits, all at the lowest rate.
The best way we recommend to compare car insurance rates is to realize all the major auto insurance companies have advanced systems to provide you with a free rate quote. To start a quote, the only thing you need to do is give the companies some data including what you do for a living, marital status, if it has an anti-theft system, and whether the vehicles are used for commuting. Your rating data is instantly provided to multiple top-rated companies and you receive quotes immediately.
When choosing proper insurance coverage, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Every insured’s situation is different.
For instance, these questions might help in determining if you will benefit from professional help.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and can provide invaluable advice.
Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 1998 Dodge Avenger.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Usually these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Collision insurance
Collision insurance pays for damage to your Avenger from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for claims like colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a parking meter, driving through your garage door and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses for hospital visits, nursing services, X-ray expenses, surgery and funeral costs. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability car insurance
This protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability can pay for things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds, funeral expenses, medical expenses and medical services. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.
Comprehensive coverage
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like vandalism, fire damage, hail damage, hitting a bird and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
