Free car insurance quotes

Finding a better price on car insurance can be relatively painless. Consumers just need to invest a few minutes to compare rate quotes online from several insurance companies. This can be done in a couple of different ways.

Whichever method you choose, make sure you use nearly identical coverages on every quote. If you use different values for each quote it’s not possible to make a fair comparison for your Buick Rendezvous.

Insurance discounts help slash rates

Insurance is neither fun to buy or cheap, but there could be significant discounts to reduce the price significantly. Certain credits will be shown when you purchase, but lesser-known reductions have to be inquired about before being credited.

Military Discounts – Being deployed with a military unit could qualify you for better rates.
Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Options like air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can get savings up to 30%.
Drive Less and Save – Maintaining low annual mileage may allow you to get substantially lower rates.
Discounts for Federal Employees – Being employed by or retired from a federal job can save as much as 8% on Rendezvous insurance but check with your company.
Discounts for Multiple Vehicles – Buying coverage for multiple cars or trucks on one policy can reduce the rates for all insured vehicles.
Claim Free – Good drivers with no accidents get the best insurance rates as opposed to drivers who are more careless.
Discounts for Seat Belt Usage – Forcing all vehicle occupants to buckle their seat belts can save a little off the medical payments premium.
Drivers Ed for Students – It’s a good idea to have your young drivers successfully complete driver’s ed class in high school.
Theft Deterent – Cars and trucks equipped with tracking devices and advanced anti-theft systems help deter theft and can earn a small discount on your policy.
Senior Discount – If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may qualify for better insurance rates on Rendezvous insurance.

As is typical with insurance, most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Despite the fact that it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, it doesn’t quite work that way. But any discount should help reduce the amount you have to pay.

A list of companies and the discounts they provide are:

American Family offers discounts for mySafetyValet, multi-vehicle, TimeAway discount, early bird, accident-free, and bundled insurance.
Farm Bureau offers discounts including good student, youthful driver, driver training, 55 and retired, multi-vehicle, and multi-policy.
State Farm may have discounts that include driver’s education, good student, passive restraint, multiple autos, and good driver.
Travelers has savings for multi-car, multi-policy, early quote, home ownership, and save driver.
The Hartford includes discounts for driver training, air bag, vehicle fuel type, good student, and bundle.
GEICO may include discounts for defensive driver, five-year accident-free, military active duty, anti-lock brakes, emergency military deployment, good student, and federal employee.
Progressive has discounts for continuous coverage, online signing, homeowner, multi-policy, and multi-vehicle.

If you want cheap car insurance quotes, ask every prospective company which discounts you may be entitled to. Some discounts may not apply everywhere.

Which is the best car insurance?

When buying coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Each situation is unique.

These are some specific questions can aid in determining if your situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
Does my 2003 Buick Rendezvous qualify for pleasure use?
Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?
Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
Do I need PIP coverage since I have good health insurance?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, simply complete this short form. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and can provide invaluable advice.

Specifics of your insurance policy

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 2003 Buick Rendezvous.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Liability insurance

This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers things such as court costs, funeral expenses, medical services and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like hitting a bird, vandalism, hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane and a broken windshield. The most your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills like doctor visits, prosthetic devices, EMT expenses, surgery and nursing services. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for claims like backing into a parked car, sustaining damage from a pot hole and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
