There are a lot of ways to compare car insurance quotes, but some are more efficient than others. You can waste a few hours (or days) talking about coverages with agents in your area, or you could use the internet to accomplish the same thing much quicker.
Most major companies are enrolled in a marketplace where insurance shoppers only type in their quote data once, and every company then returns a price quote based on the submitted data. This saves time by eliminating quotation requests for each company.

The only downside to doing it this way is that you can’t choose the providers to get quotes from. So if you want to select from a list of companies to request quotes from, we have a listing of car insurance companies in your area. View list of insurance companies.

Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Collision protection
This covers damage to your XTS caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage protects against things like backing into a parked car, crashing into a building, driving through your garage door, damaging your car on a curb and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Coverage for medical payments
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses for chiropractic care, hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses and EMT expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Liability auto insurance
Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage pays for things such as bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Uninsured and underinsured coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 2013 Cadillac XTS.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive coverages
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hail damage, a broken windshield, damage from flooding and hitting a bird. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
