Discounts save money, but please remember that many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only cut individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. So when the math indicates all the discounts add up to a free policy, nobody gets a free ride.

If you need lower rates, check with each company or agent to apply every possible discount. Some of the discounts discussed earlier may not apply in your area. To view companies that offer multiple discounts, click here to view.

Consumers constantly see and hear ads that claim the cheapest prices from the likes of 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm. They all try to convey promises about saving some big amount after switching your insurance coverage policy to them.
It sounds good, but how can they all sell you cheaper insurance coverage? Here is the trick they use.
All companies quote their best rates for a prospective insured that earns them a profit. For instance, a preferred risk should be between 30 and 50, has few claims, and insures a new vehicle. Someone who matches that profile may get the lowest premium rates and will cut their rates substantially.
People who don’t qualify for those standards will be quoted a more expensive rate with the end result being the driver buying from a lower-cost company. If you pay close attention to the ads, they say “drivers that switch” not “everybody who quotes” save that much. That’s the way insurance companies can confidently state the savings. Because every company is different, you should quote coverage with many companies. You cannot predict the company that will give you lower rates than your current company.
Knowing the specifics of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Liability insurance – This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for things like loss of income, court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Medical expense coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses like ambulance fees, EMT expenses, doctor visits and nursing services. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive protection – This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as hitting a deer, fire damage, falling objects and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Porsche Cayenne.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Cayenne from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for things like crashing into a ditch, rolling your car, crashing into a building and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
There are still a few companies who do not offer online quoting and most of the time these smaller providers only sell through local independent agents. Low-cost 2009 Porsche Cayenne insurance is possible on the web as well as from independent agents, and you should compare rates from both to have the best selection.
When shopping online for auto insurance, it’s a bad idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. In many instances, drivers have reduced physical damage coverage only to regret at claim time that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your focus should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at the lowest possible cost but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
Insureds who switch companies do it for many reasons like policy non-renewal, unfair underwriting practices, delays in paying claims and lack of trust in their agent. It doesn’t matter what your reason, switching auto insurance companies can be pretty painless.
