When getting a coverage quote, ask each company which discounts you qualify for. Some credits may not be available everywhere.

Drivers can’t escape the ads that claim the lowest car insurance rates by State Farm, Allstate and GEICO. All the companies seem to make the promise of big savings just by moving your coverage to them.
How is it possible that every company can lower your car insurance rates? Here is how they do it.
Insurance companies quote the lowest rates for a prospective insured that earns them a profit. For example, this type of driver might be described as over the age of 50, is a homeowner, and has a short commute. Someone who matches those parameters may get the lowest prices and will most likely save when they switch companies.
People who don’t qualify for the ideal profile may be required to pay higher premium rates and this can result in the customer not purchasing. The ads state “people who switch” but not “all drivers who get quotes” save that much money. This is how companies can truthfully make those claims. Because every company is different, you should compare as many free auto insurance quotes as you can. You cannot predict which insurance company will have the lowest rate quotes.
Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on most insurance policies.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Bentley Continental GTC.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage pays for 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 can pay for claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from flooding, theft, hitting a deer and rock chips in glass. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Liability insurance – Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability insurance covers claims such as medical expenses, loss of income and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against things such as rolling your car, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a mailbox, sustaining damage from a pot hole and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses for prosthetic devices, dental work, funeral costs and nursing services. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
As you prepare to switch companies, it’s not a good idea to buy less coverage just to save a little money. There have been many situations where consumers will sacrifice collision coverage only to discover later that it was a big mistake. Your goal should be to purchase plenty of coverage at the best price but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
