There is a right way and a wrong way to find auto insurance online so we’re going to tell you the absolute fastest way to price shop coverage for your MINI and get the lowest price.
You should make it a habit to check auto insurance prices on a regular basis due to the fact that insurance prices fluctuate regularly. If you had the best price on Cooper Coupe insurance a few years ago you will most likely find a better rate quote today. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about auto insurance because you’re about to learn the tricks you need to know to save money, get proper deductibles and limits, all at the lowest rate.
Many insurance companies like State Farm, GEICO and Progressive provide prices for coverage on the web. Getting online quotes is pretty easy as you just type in your required coverages on the page. Once you submit the form, their quoting system requests your driving record and credit report and generates pricing information based on these factors.
Being able to quote online makes comparing rates easy, but the time required to go to different websites and type in the same information is not the best way to spend an afternoon. But it’s absolutely necessary to do this if you want to find lower prices.
The easiest way to lower your rates is to use a quote form that analyzes rates from several companies at one time. The form is fast, eliminates repetitive work, and makes online quotes much more enjoyable. Immediately after submitting the form, it is rated with multiple companies and you can pick any of the quotes returned.
If you find a better price you simply finish the application and buy the policy. It only takes a few minutes and can result in significant savings.

Auto insurance companies don’t always advertise every available discount in an easy-to-find place, so we researched both the well known and also the more inconspicuous insurance coverage savings.
As a footnote on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. Most only cut individual premiums such as comp or med pay. Just because it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it’s just not the way it works.

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2013 MINI Cooper Coupe.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like hitting a bird, damage from flooding, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and falling objects. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability can pay for things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, repair costs for stationary objects and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy as much as you can afford.
Collision coverage covers damage to your Cooper Coupe from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage protects against claims like rolling your car, crashing into a building and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses such as funeral costs, dental work, hospital visits, surgery and nursing services. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
