Buying insurance is not cheap, but discounts can save money and there are some available that many consumers don’t even know exist. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied when you get a quote, but some must be manually applied before they will apply.

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are typical coverages offered by car insurance companies.
Comprehensive coverages
This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a deer and a broken windshield. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage pays for damage to your Wrangler from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision insurance covers things like colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, sustaining damage from a pot hole and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Auto liability
This can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers claims such as structural damage, medical expenses, funeral expenses, bail bonds and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Coverage for medical payments
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses for nursing services, EMT expenses and funeral costs. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers you and your occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Uninsured and underinsured coverage
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 2003 Jeep Wrangler.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.
When trying to cut insurance costs, do not buy less coverage just to save a little money. Too many times, consumers will sacrifice comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to regret that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your goal should be to buy enough coverage at the best possible price but still have enough coverage for asset protection.

Some insurance companies do not offer online rate quotes and many times these small, regional companies prefer to sell through independent agencies.
