The cheapest auto insurance quotes online

Reducing your 2006 Scion tC insurance rates is not a difficult process. You just need to spend a few minutes to compare rate quotes to discover which company has cheaper insurance quotes. Comparing prices online can be done using a couple different methods.

1. If you don’t have a lot of time, the easiest way to find low rates is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This form keeps you from doing a different quote for each company you want a rate for. One form will get you rate comparisons from multiple low-cost companies.
2. A different way to compare rate quotes is to take the time to go to the website of each company to complete their respective quote request forms. For examples sake, let’s say you need rates from Farmers, Esurance and Allstate. You would need to navigate to each company’s site and repeatedly enter your information, which can take a lot of time.

Drivers can save with with these discounts

Some insurance providers don’t necessarily list all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we took the time to find both the well known and the harder-to-find discounts that you may qualify for.

• Discount for Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags may earn rate discounts of 25 to 30%.
• Pay Now and Pay Less – By making one initial payment instead of paying each month you may reduce your total bill.
• Early Renewal Discounts – A few insurance companies offer discounts for renewing your policy before your current expiration date. You can save around 10% with this discount.
• No Accidents – Drivers with accident-free driving histories have much lower rates as compared to insureds who have frequent claims or accidents.
• Good Drivers – Drivers without accidents can save as much as half off their rates for tC coverage than drivers with accidents.
• Telematics Devices – Drivers who agree to allow driving data submission to look at where and when they drive through the use of a telematics system like In-Drive from State Farm and Progressive’s Snapshot may get a rate reduction if they exhibit good driving behavior.
• Auto/Life Discount – Not every insurance company offers life insurance, but if they do you may earn lower prices if you buy life insurance.

You should keep in mind that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Some only reduce specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though you would think adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way. Any qualifying discounts will lower your overall bill.

Insurance coverages 101

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Auto liability – This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability insurance covers claims like funeral expenses, loss of income and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as a broken windshield, hitting a deer and damage from flooding. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for ambulance fees, pain medications and EMT expenses. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Collision – Collision coverage pays for damage to your tC resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Scion tC.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
