1999 Chevrolet Suburban Insurance Rates

Are you burned out from scraping the payment together to make your insurance coverage payment? You are no different than many other consumers.

Due to the fact that there are so many options, it’s nearly impossible to choose the most cost effective insurance coverage provider.

First Step: Get free insurance coverage quotes

When shopping for affordable insurance coverage quotes, there are a couple of ways of comparing rates from many different insurance companies. The fastest way to compare Chevy Suburban insurance prices is to use the internet to compare rates. This can be accomplished in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

  1. The most recommended method to compare a lot of rates at once is to use a rate comparison form click to view form in new window. This form saves time by eliminating repetitive form submissions to each individual insurance coverage company. Completing one form will return quotes instantly.
  2. Another way to get comparison quotes requires visiting the website for each individual company to request a price quote. For example, we’ll pretend you want to view quotes from Nationwide, Farmers and State Farm. To get each rate you have to go to every website to enter your coverage information, which is why first method is reommended.

  3. The old school method to find lower rates is to spend time driving to insurance agencies in your area. Quoting and buying insurance online eliminates this option unless you require the guidance of a licensed agent. It is possible with some companies comparison shop online but still have the advice of a local agent.

The method you choose is up to you, but ensure you’re using nearly identical coverage limits for every quote you compare. If you compare different data you can’t possibly determine which company has the best rates. Quoting even small variations in insurance coverages can result in a big premium difference. And when comparing insurance coverage rates, know that comparing more company’s prices gives you a better chance of getting lower pricing. Some companies don’t provide price estimates online, so it’s necessary to compare prices from those companies as well.

Lower-cost insurance coverage quotes with discounts

Insurance coverage can be pricey, but companies offer discounts to help bring down the price. Some of these disounts will be visible at the time of purchase, but a few must be asked for before being credited.

  • Low Miles Discount – Keeping the miles down on your Chevy may enable drivers to earn slightly better prices than normal.
  • Government Employee Discount – Employees or retirees of the government can earn a discount up to 10% on Suburban coverage with select insurance companies.
  • Sign Early and Save – A few insurance coverage companies offer discounts for switching to them prior to your current policy expiring. The savings is around 10%.
  • Driver’s Education for Students – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to sucessfully take a drivers education course if it’s offered in school.
  • Student in College – Youth drivers who attend college more than 100 miles from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle may qualify for this discount.
  • Defensive Driver Discount – Successfully completing a defensive driver course can save you 5% or more if your company offers it.
  • Lower Rates for Military – Being on active duty in the military may lower your rates slightly.
  • Multi-policy Discount – When you have multiple policies with the same company you could earn a discount of nearly 15% which can help you find the cheapest insurance coverage.

One last thing about discounts, many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. Despite the fact that it seems like it’s possible to get free car insurance, company stockholders wouldn’t be very happy.

Tailor your insurance coverage coverage to you

When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage, there is no best way to insure your cars. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so this has to be addressed. For instance, these questions can help discover whether your personal situation might need an agent’s assistance.

  • Is my teen driver covered when they drive my company car?
  • Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?
  • What is an SR-22 filing?
  • Am I covered if hit by an uninsured driver?
  • Does my 1999 Chevy Suburban qualify for pleasure use?
  • Are my friends covered when driving my car?
  • Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
  • Is my Chevy Suburban covered if I use it for business?
  • Which companies will insure high-risk drivers?

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Car insurance 101

Knowing the specifics of insurance helps when choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are typical coverages available from insurance companies.

Comprehensive coverage

This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like falling objects, damage from flooding, hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and rock chips in glass. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses for things like dental work, funeral costs, pain medications and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance

Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers claims like bail bonds, legal defense fees, medical services, pain and suffering and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Suburban from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a parking meter and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
