Are you sick and tired of paying out the nose each month for car insurance? You’re in the same situation as millions of other consumers.
Since consumers have many online and local companies to choose from, it can be diffult for consumers to choose the lowest price insurance company.
It is always a good idea to compare rates at least once a year due to the fact that insurance rates tend to go up over time. Even if you think you had the best deal for Cayenne coverage a year ago the chances are good that you can find a lower rate today. Starting right now, block out anything you think you know about auto insurance because I’m going to teach you the easiest way to lower your annual insurance bill.
All major insurance companies like Progressive, Allstate and Geico provide prices on their websites. The process is pretty easy as you just enter the coverage amounts you desire as requested by the quote form. After you submit the form the company’s rating system automatically orders reports for credit and driving violations and generates pricing information based on these and other factors. Being able to quote online streamlines rate comparisons, but the time required to go to multiple sites and type in the same information can get tiresome after awhile. But it’s absolutely necessary to do this in order to find a lower rate.
A more efficient way to locate the lowest prices uses one simple form that obtains quotes from many companies. This type of form saves time, requires much less work on your part, and makes price shopping online much easier. As soon as the form is sent, it gets priced and you are able to buy any or none of the resulting price quotes.

Consumers need to have an understanding of the rating factors that play a part in calculating your auto insurance rates. Having a good understanding of what impacts premium levels helps enable you to make changes that could result in much lower annual insurance costs.
Shown below are a few of the “ingredients” that factor into premiums.
Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but there could be available discounts to help bring down the price. Certain discounts will be applied at the time of quoting, but some may not be applied and must be inquired about before being credited.
It’s important to note that some of the credits will not apply to the entire policy premium. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. So when the math indicates all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies wouldn’t make money that way. But any discount will help reduce the amount you have to pay.
Car insurance companies that possibly offer these money-saving discounts may include but are not limited to:
Check with all companies you are considering which discounts they offer. Savings might not apply in your area.
When buying adequate coverage, there really is no one size fits all plan. Each situation is unique so your insurance needs to address that. Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining if you could use an agent’s help.
If you’re not sure about those questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.
Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are typical coverage types found on the average insurance policy.
Liability car insurance – This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage protects against claims like court costs, legal defense fees, medical expenses, attorney fees and repair costs for stationary objects. 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.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like theft, damage from getting keyed, hitting a deer, hitting a bird and damage from flooding. The most your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Porsche Cayenne.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Insurance for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like surgery, chiropractic care and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision coverage – This will pay to fix damage to your Cayenne caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as colliding with a tree, hitting a mailbox, hitting a parking meter and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
