View 1994 Buick Skylark Insurance Rates

Are you a victim of an overpriced insurance coverage policy? Trust us when we tell you you’re not alone.

Companies like State Farm, Allstate, Geico and Progressive constantly bombard you with advertising and it can be hard to not get sucked in by the cute commercials and find the best price available.

Where Can I Get Cheap Insurance Coverage?

The are a couple different ways of comparing rate quotes and find the best price. The easiest way to compare 1994 Buick Skylark insurance prices involves getting comparison quotes online. This can be done in a couple of different ways.

  • The best way to find the lowest comparison rates would be an industry-wide quote request form like this one (opens in new window). This form keeps you from doing multiple quote forms to each individual insurance coverage company. Completing one form gets you price quotes from multiple low-cost companies.
  • A different way to analyze rates is to take the time to go to the website for every company you want to comare and complete a new quote form. For examples sake, we’ll assume you want to compare Liberty Mutual, Safeco and Geico. You would have to spend time on each company’s site to enter your coverage information, which is why most consumers use the first method. To view a list of companies in your area, click here.
  • The least efficient method to get comparison rates is driving to and from local insurance agencies. Buying insurance online has reduced the need for local agents unless you want the professional advice of a licensed agent. However, consumers can obtain prices from the web but buy from a local insurance agent and you’ll learn how to do that later.

Which method you use is up to you, but make absolute certain that you use the exact same coverage information for every quote you compare. If your comparisons have mixed coverages it’s not possible to determine the best price for your Buick Skylark. Slightly different insurance coverages can result in a big premium difference. Just remember that obtaining a wide range of quotes helps you find a better price.

Verify you’re getting all your discounts

Car insurance can cost a lot, but discounts can save money and there are some available that many people don’t even know exist. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied when you purchase, but less common discounts must be manually applied before you will receive the discount.

  • Defensive Driver – Taking part in a course teaching defensive driving skills could save 5% or more if your company offers it.
  • Accident Waiver – Some insurance companies allow you one accident before your rates go up if your claims history is clear for a certain period of time.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Having a family member in the military could mean lower rates.
  • Braking Control Discount – Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems prevent accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Drivers Education – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to enroll in driver’s education in school.

It’s important to note that some of the credits will not apply to the entire policy premium. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision. So even though it sounds like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it just doesn’t work that way. Any amount of discount will reduce the cost of coverage.

A partial list of companies that may have these benefits include:

Check with each company what discounts are available to you. All car insurance discounts might not apply in every state.

When should I talk to an agent?

When choosing the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different so this has to be addressed. For example, these questions might point out whether your personal situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • What is no-fault insurance?
  • Do I need an umbrella policy?
  • Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
  • Am I covered when delivering products for my home-based business?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
  • Does my policy pay for OEM or aftermarket parts?

If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Information about specific coverages

Knowing the specifics of insurance aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are typical coverages available from insurance companies.

Auto liability insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees, bail bonds and court costs. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection 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 Buick Skylark.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Usually these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive coverages

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like vandalism, hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a deer and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills like EMT expenses, pain medications, dental work, hospital visits and surgery. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover you and your occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage

This coverage covers damage to your Skylark resulting 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 insurance covers things like sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a building and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Affordable insurance is out there

As you restructure your insurance plan, you should never skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. Too many times, an insured dropped liability limits or collision coverage only to regret at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your goal should be to get the best coverage possible at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.

Cheap 1994 Buick Skylark insurance can be bought online as well as from independent agents, so you should compare both so you have a total pricing picture. Some companies don’t offer you the ability to get quotes online and these smaller companies work with independent agents.
