2001 Mazda B-Series Insurance Quotes – 8 Savings Tips

Want lower insurance rates for your Mazda B-Series? Feel like you’re a prisoner to an overpriced insurance policy? Believe me when I say you’re not alone.

Due to the large number of different company options, it is hard for the average consumer to choose the most affordable insurance company.

Auto insurance discounts are available to reduce your rates

Companies that sell car insurance don’t always list the complete list of policy discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the following is a list of some of the more common and the harder-to-find credits available to you. If you do not double check each discount available, you’re paying more than you need to.

  • Discount for Home Ownership – Owning a house can save you money since owning and maintaining a home requires personal responsibility.
  • Drivers Education – Teen drivers should participate in a local driver’s education class in school.
  • Military Deployment Discount – Being on active deployment in the military could be rewarded with lower auto insurance rates.
  • Early Payment Discounts – If you can afford to pay the entire bill as opposed to paying monthly you may reduce your total bill.
  • Savings for New Vehicles – Adding a new car to your policy can be considerably cheaper compared to insuring an older model.
  • Student Discounts – This discount can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. You can use this discount normally well after school through age 25.
  • Life Insurance – Insurance carriers who offer life insurance give better auto insurancerates if you take out auto and life insurance together.
  • Sign Online – A few auto insurance companies provide a small discount for completing your application online.

One thing to note about discounts is that most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. Just because it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Large auto insurance companies and the discounts they provide are:

  • American Family offers discounts including Steer into Savings, defensive driver, good driver, TimeAway discount, and mySafetyValet.
  • Farm Bureau includes discounts for good student, multi-vehicle, 55 and retired, renewal discount, and youthful driver.

Everyone needs different insurance coverage coverages

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions might help in determining if you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • Is extra glass coverage worth it?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
  • Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
  • Am I getting all the discounts available?
  • When should I drop full coverage on my 2001 Mazda B-Series?
  • When should I buy a commercial auto policy?
  • How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
  • Does my 2001 Mazda B-Series need full coverage?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of insurance coverage companies in your area.

Car insurance 101

Understanding the coverages of car insurance can be of help when determining the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are typical coverages available from car insurance companies.

Liability car insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for claims like court costs, pain and suffering, medical services, emergency aid and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Mazda B-Series.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like EMT expenses, ambulance fees, funeral costs, prosthetic devices and pain medications. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism and a broken windshield. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your B-Series resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as colliding with a tree, rolling your car, backing into a parked car, sustaining damage from a pot hole and hitting a parking meter. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

In any little way, save everyday

Discount 2001 Mazda B-Series insurance can be sourced from both online companies and with local insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to get a complete price analysis. There are still a few companies who may not have online price quotes and usually these small insurance companies prefer to sell through independent insurance agents.

When you buy car insurance online, it’s a bad idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. There are many occasions where an accident victim reduced full coverage only to discover later they didn’t have enough coverage. The aim is to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest price and still be able to protect your assets.
