Save on 2013 GMC Yukon Insurance Rates

Did budget coverage turn out to be an underperforming, overpriced insurance coverage policy? Trust us, many drivers feel the same as you.

Companies like State Farm, GEICO and Farmers Insurance continually bombard you with TV and radio ads and it is difficult to ignore the flashy ads and take the time to shop coverage around.

The best way we recommend to compare policy rates is to know the trick most larger insurance companies pay for the opportunity to give rate comparisons. All you need to do is take a few minutes to give details including whether you are married, how old drivers are, the year, make and model of vehicles, and if you are currently licensed. Your details gets transmitted to multiple companies and they provide comparison quotes almost instantly.

It’s not one size fits all

When buying adequate coverage, there isn’t really a perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For instance, these questions could help you determine whether your personal situation would benefit from professional advice.

  • Is motorclub coverage worth it?
  • Do I have coverage when making deliveries for my home business?
  • How can I get my company to pay me more for my totalled car?
  • Why do I need rental car insurance?
  • How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
  • Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
  • Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 2013 GMC Yukon is totaled?
  • Is my business laptop covered if it gets stolen from my vehicle?
  • Am I covered if I hit a deer?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area.

Auto insurance 101

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find the usual coverages available from auto insurance companies.

UM/UIM Coverage – This gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your GMC Yukon.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from getting keyed, hail damage and hitting a bird. The maximum amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time 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.

Liability auto insurance – Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. It protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for 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. You might see values of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against things such as court costs, emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage – This will pay to fix damage to your Yukon resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with a tree, crashing into a building and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical costs insurance – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills such as pain medications, doctor visits and hospital visits. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
