The only downside to using this type of form is you don’t know exactly the providers to receive prices from. If you prefer to choose from a list of companies to compare rates, we have a listing of low cost insurance companies in your area. Click here for list of insurance companies.

However you get your quotes, be sure to compare the exact same coverage limits and deductibles for each comparison quote. If you compare different values for each quote then you won’t be able to determine which rate is truly the best. Having just a slight variation in coverage limits may cause a big price difference. Just remember that comparing more company’s prices helps you find the best price.

Save on 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse insurance

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but there are discounts available to help bring down the price. Some discounts apply automatically when you quote, but some may not be applied and must be requested specifically before you will receive the discount.

Defensive Driver – Successfully completing a driver safety course could possibly earn you a 5% discount if your company offers it.
Organization Discounts – Being a member of certain professional organizations could qualify you for a break on insurance coverage for Eclipse insurance.
Senior Citizens – Mature drivers may be able to get better insurance coverage rates for Eclipse insurance.
Accident Forgiveness – Some insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before raising your premiums so long as you haven’t had any claims for a particular time prior to the accident.
Multi-policy Discount – When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same company you will save 10% to 20% off each policy.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage, there is no best way to insure your cars. Every insured’s situation is different so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions may help highlight whether your personal situation may require specific advice.

Are my friends covered when driving my car?
How can I force my company to pay a claim?
Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver?
Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form or click here for a list of auto insurance companies in your area.

Educate yourself about car insurance coverages

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the usual coverages found on the average car insurance policy.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for pain medications, dental work and chiropractic care. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass, hail damage, hitting a bird and theft. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Liability

Liability insurance protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from 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. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, bail bonds, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

This covers damage to your Eclipse resulting from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things such as scraping a guard rail, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
