1993 Buick Roadmaster Insurance Cost – 8 Tips for Cheapest Prices

Searching for better insurance rates for your Buick Roadmaster? Purchasing the most affordable insurance online may be challenging for beginners to comparing rates online. With a ridiculous number of companies competing online, how can anyone effectively compare the different rates to find the best available price?

It is always a good idea to compare prices at least once a year since rates change regularly. Even if you think you had the lowest rates on Roadmaster insurance a year ago you can probably find a lower rate today. So just forget anything you know (or think you know) about insurance because you’re going to get a crash course in the fastest way to save money, get proper coverage and the best rates.

Pay less by taking advantage of these eight discounts

Companies don’t necessarily list every available discount very clearly, so the following is a list of both the well known and also the lesser-known insurance savings.

  • Service Members Pay Less – Having a family member in the military can result in better rates.
  • Good Students Pay Less – Performing well in school can earn a discount of 20% or more. Earning this discount can benefit you until age 25.
  • Government Employees – Simply working for the federal government can earn a discount up to 10% on Roadmaster insurance with select insurance companies.
  • Distant Student – Children who live away from home and do not have a car may qualify for this discount.
  • New Vehicle Savings – Insuring a new car can be considerably cheaper since new cars are generally safer.
  • 55 and Retired – If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may qualify for better insurance rates on Roadmaster insurance.
  • Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Cars that have air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can get savings of 20% or more.
  • Sign Online – A handful of insurance companies may give you up to $50 for buying a policy and signing up online.

Drivers should understand that some of the credits will not apply to the entire policy premium. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. So when the math indicates you would end up receiving a 100% discount, insurance companies aren’t that generous.

Companies who might offer these benefits include:

Check with each company which discounts they offer. Discounts may not apply in every state.

Your coverage should be tailored to you

When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

These are some specific questions may help you determine whether you could use an agent’s help.

  • Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
  • How can I force my company to pay a claim?
  • Should I get collision insurance on every vehicle?
  • Do I need replacement cost coverage on my 1993 Buick Roadmaster?
  • Where can I find high-risk insurance?
  • How much liability coverage do I need in my state?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form.

Car insurance policy coverages for a 1993 Buick Roadmaster

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 1993 Buick Roadmaster.

Because many people 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 protection

This covers damage to your Roadmaster resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle, backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses like funeral costs, pain medications, rehabilitation expenses, nursing services and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, theft, fire damage, falling objects and damage from flooding. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see 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.

Liability coverage pays for claims like legal defense fees, repair costs for stationary objects and court costs. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

In Summary

Lower-priced 1993 Buick Roadmaster insurance is definitely available both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to comparison shop both so you have a total pricing picture. There are still a few companies who may not provide online quoting and many times these smaller companies only sell through independent insurance agents.

While you’re price shopping online, you should never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There have been many situations where someone dropped full coverage only to find out they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your goal should be to buy the best coverage you can find at the best price.

Consumers leave their current company for a variety of reasons including denial of a claim, high prices, unfair underwriting practices and being labeled a high risk driver. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch choosing a new company is not as difficult as it may seem.
