How to lower your auto insurance cost

All major auto insurance companies allow consumers to get pricing online. Comparing prices online is possible for anyone as you simply type in your personal and coverage information into the form. Upon sending the form, their quoting system automatically orders your credit score and driving record and generates a price determined by many factors.

Online price estimates makes it a lot easier to compare rates but the time required to go to each company’s website and repetitively complete many quote forms is a waste of time. But it’s necessary to perform this step if you want to find better prices.

The quickest way to find lower prices utilizes a single form to obtain quotes from several companies at one time. It’s a real time-saver, reduces the work, and makes online shopping much simpler. As soon as you send your information, it is quoted and you are able to buy any one of the quotes that you receive. If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you can simply submit the application and buy the new coverage. This process takes just a few minutes to complete and could lower your rates considerably.

If you have your current policy handy, we recommend you duplicate the coverages as close as possible to your current policy. Using the same limits helps guarantee you will get a price comparison for similar insurance coverage.

More discounts mean cheap premiums

Car insurance companies don’t list the entire discount list in a way that’s easy to find, so the below list has a few of the more well known in addition to some of the lesser obvious credits available to you. If you don’t get every credit available, you may be paying too high a price.

• Government Employee Discount – Having worked for a branch of the government can save as much as 8% on CTS Coupe insurance with a few car insurance companies.
• Passive Restraints – Cars that have air bags or motorized seat belts can qualify for discounts of 20 to 30 percent.
• Theft Deterent System – Vehicles that have factory alarm systems and tracking devices are stolen less frequently and will qualify for a discount on a insurance coverage quote.
• Service Members Pay Less – Being deployed in the military could be rewarded with lower car insurance rates.
• Discount for Multiple Policies – If you combine your home and auto policies with the same insurance company you will save at least 10% off all policies.
• 55 and Retired – Drivers over the age of 55 can possibly qualify for better car insurance rates on CTS Coupe insurance.
• One Accident Forgiven – Not really a discount, but a few companies such as Progressive, Allstate, and Liberty Mutual will let one accident slide before they charge you more for coverage with the catch being you have to be claim-free before the accident.
• College Student – Kids who live away from home at college and won’t have access to an insured vehicle can receive lower rates.
• Defensive Driving Course – Successfully completing a defensive driver course could cut 5% off your bill and easily pay for the cost of the class.

One thing to note about discounts is that most discount credits are not given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut individual premiums such as comp or med pay. Even though the math looks like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies don’t profit that way.

It’s not one size fits all

When choosing the best insurance coverage coverage, there really is no “perfect” insurance plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine if you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

• How do I buy GAP insurance?
• Do I need an umbrella policy?
• I have a DUI can I still get coverage?
• Should I buy full coverage?
• What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
• How do I insure my teen driver?
• Is business equipment covered while in my vehicle?
• Am I insured when driving a different vehicle?
• Are my friends covered when driving my 2012 Cadillac CTS Coupe?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form.

Coverage specifics

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision insurance

This pays for damage to your CTS Coupe caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers things like colliding with a tree, colliding with another moving vehicle and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability coverages

This will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

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. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as medical services, emergency aid and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like a broken windshield, falling objects and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses such as funeral costs, chiropractic care and hospital visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This gives you protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Cadillac CTS Coupe.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
