If you currently have a car insurance policy, you stand a good chance to be able to cut costs considerably using this strategy. Shopping for affordable protection is simple if you know the tricks. Nevertheless, drivers must learn the way companies compete online and use this information to your advantage.

How to lower your auto insurance cost

Many insurance companies allow you to get insurance quotes directly from their websites. Getting prices online doesn’t take much effort as you just type in the coverage amounts you desire into a form. Behind the scenes, the quote system gets your credit score and driving record and returns a price quote determined by many factors.

Online quotes makes it simple to compare prices but the time required to go to a lot of sites and type in the same information is repetitive and time-consuming. But it is imperative to get many rate quotes if you want to find better auto insurance pricing.

There is a better way to compare rates

A more efficient way to lower your rates is to use a quote form to obtain quotes from more than one company. It’s a real time-saver, helps eliminate reptitive entry, and makes online quotes much more enjoyable. Once the form is submitted, it is quoted and you are able to buy any or none of the quotes that you receive.

If the quotes result in lower rates, you can simply submit the application and purchase coverage. The entire process only takes a few minutes and could lower your rates considerably.

Find discounts on insurance

Insurance is expensive, but you may qualify for discounts that can dramatically reduce your bill. Some discounts apply automatically when you complete an application, but some must be inquired about prior to getting the savings.

Student Discounts – Performing well in school may save you up to 25%. The discount lasts well after school through age 25.
Student Driver Training – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to complete a driver education course if offered at their school.
Memberships – Affiliation with qualifying employment or professional organizations could trigger savings on your next renewal.
Defensive Driver – Taking part in a class that teaches driver safety techniques could save 5% or more and also improve your driving technique.
Student in College – who are enrolled in a college that is more than 100 miles from home and leave their car at home could get you a discount.
Anti-lock Brake Discount – Vehicles with ABS and/or traction control have fewer accidents and the ABS can save up to 10%.
First Accident Forgiveness – This isn’t a discount exactly, but a few companies such as GEICO, State Farm, and Progressive allow you one accident without the usual rate increase as long as you don’t have any claims prior to being involved in the accident.

One thing to note about discounts is that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only cut specific coverage prices like collision or personal injury protection. Even though it may seem like adding up those discounts means a free policy, company stockholders wouldn’t be very happy. Any amount of discount will lower the premium cost.

Car insurance companies that may offer quotes with most of the discounts above include:

If you need inexpensive insurance quotes, ask every prospective company which discounts you may be entitled to. Savings may not be offered in your area.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

Will filing a claim cost me more?
When should I drop full coverage on my 2010 Honda Insight?
Does my 2010 Honda Insight qualify for pleasure use?
Is pleasure use cheaper than using my 2010 Honda Insight to commute?

Auto insurance 101

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Collision coverage

This coverage covers damage to your Insight from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims such as sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a ditch and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

UM/UIM Coverage

This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Honda Insight.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Usually these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical costs insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses for things like doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses, pain medications and prosthetic devices. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things such as medical expenses, funeral expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like theft, vandalism, damage from flooding and hail damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
