Save with discounts on Chevy C/K 2500 Series insurance

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but you can get discounts to reduce the price significantly. Certain discounts will be applied at the time of purchase, but a few must be specially asked for in order for you to get them.

  • Anti-theft System – Cars that have factory anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Early Signing – A few companies offer discounts for switching policies before your current expiration date. This can save 10% or more.
  • Auto/Home Discount – If you insure your home and vehicles with one company you may save 10% to 20% off each policy.
  • 55 and Retired – Mature drivers may qualify for reduced rates on C/K Series coverage.
  • Driver Safety – Successfully completing a defensive driving course could possibly earn you a 5% discount depending on where you live.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. Most only cut specific coverage prices like liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you won’t be that lucky. But all discounts will help reduce the cost of coverage.

A partial list of companies who might offer these money-saving discounts include:

Check with each company how you can save money. Discounts may not apply in every state.

Tailor your coverage to you

  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • Can I make deliveries for my home business?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • Who is covered by my policy?
  • Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?

Can switching companies really save?

Auto insurance companies such as State Farm and Allstate constantly bombard you with ads on television and other media. They all seem to have a common claim that you’ll save big if you switch your policy. How does each company say the same thing? This is how they do it.

Different companies have a certain “appetite” for the right customer that is profitable for them. An example of a preferred risk could be a mature driver, insures multiple vehicles, and has great credit. A customer getting a price quote who matches those parameters will get very good rates and most likely will save when switching.

Potential customers who don’t measure up to the “perfect” profile will be charged a more expensive rate which leads to the customer not buying. The ad wording is “people who switch” not “people who quote” save that much. This is how insurance companies can advertise the way they do.

That is why it’s extremely important to get a wide range of price quotes. It is impossible to predict which insurance companies will fit your personal profile best.

Car insurance coverage information

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills like surgery, prosthetic devices, pain medications, X-ray expenses and funeral costs. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like damage from getting keyed, damage from flooding, hitting a bird, hitting a deer and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most your insurance company will pay 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.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your C/K 2500 Series from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox, colliding with a tree and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims like court costs, emergency aid, structural damage, medical expenses and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 1999 Chevy C/K 2500 Series.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Power to the consumer

Cost effective 1999 Chevy C/K 2500 Series insurance is definitely available on the web in addition to many insurance agents, so compare prices from both so you have a total pricing picture. There are still a few companies who do not provide online price quotes and usually these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through local independent agents.

When shopping online for auto insurance, do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. In many instances, an insured cut uninsured motorist or liability limits only to discover later that the savings was not a smart move. Your strategy should be to find the BEST coverage for the lowest price while not skimping on critical coverages.
