Cheapest auto insurance quotes

All the larger auto insurance companies like Allstate and Progressive allow consumers to get prices for coverage on the web. This process is pretty painless as all you need to do is type in your coverage information into a form.

Tailor your auto insurance coverage to you

When choosing proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different.

These are some specific questions may help you determine whether you will benefit from professional help.

Why do I need rental car insurance?
Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
When would I need additional glass coverage?
Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
Is business equipment covered while in my vehicle?
Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
Do I have newly-aquired coverage?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form.

Coverages available on your insurance policy

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like hitting a bird, vandalism, damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and theft. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability

This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against things such as medical expenses, structural damage and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses for things like dental work, funeral costs and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Volvo V60.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your V60 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a mailbox, crashing into a ditch and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
