Cheaper 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV Insurance Quotes

Are you sick and tired of robbing Peter to pay Paul to buy car insurance? Your situation is no different than millions of other consumers. There is such a variety of insurance companies to insure vehicles with, and although it’s a good thing to have a choice, it can be more challenging to find a good deal.

Finding more affordable insurance coverage is not that difficult. If you have insurance now or need a new policy, you can follow these tips to find better prices while maintaining coverages. Consumers just need to understand the proper way to compare rates on the web.

Cheap Insurance Comparisons

Reducing your 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV insurance rates can be surprisingly simple. The only thing you need to do is spend a little time comparing rates provided by online insurance companies. This can be accomplished in a couple of different ways.

The single most time-saving way consumers can analyze rates would be an industry-wide quote request form like this one (opens in new window). This easy form prevents you from having to do repetitive form entry for each company. Just one form will return price quotes instantly.

Another way to get comparison quotes is to manually visit 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 Nationwide, Liberty Mutual and GMAC. To get each rate you have to visit each site and enter your information, which is why most consumers use the first method. For a handy list of car insurance company links in your area, click here.

It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just be sure to compare exactly the same deductibles and coverage limits for every quote you compare. If your comparisons have different values for each quote then you won’t be able to truly determine the lowest rate.

These discounts can slash insurance coverage rates

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but there are discounts available that can drop the cost substantially. Some trigger automatically at quote time, but a few need to be asked for in order for you to get them. If you don’t get every credit available, you’re paying more than you need to.

Auto/Life Discount – Select insurance companies reward you with better rates if you take out life insurance from them.
New Car Discount – Buying coverage on a new vehicle can be considerably cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
Drivers Education – Require your teen driver to take driver’s ed class in high school.
Discount for Swiching Early – Some companies give discounts for signing up prior to your current policy expiration. The savings is around 10%.
Bundle and Save – When you have multiple policies with one company you may save up to 20% off your total premium.
Anti-lock Brakes – Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes can avoid accidents and will save you 10% or more.
Employee of Federal Government – Active or retired federal employment could cut as much as 10% off on Escalade ESV insurance with select insurance companies.
Safe Driver Discount – Insureds without accidents can pay as much as 50% less on Escalade ESV insurance than their less cautious counterparts.
No Charge for an Accident – A few companies will allow you to have one accident before hitting you with a surcharge if you are claim-free prior to the accident.

It’s important to understand that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire cost. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. So when the math indicates you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies don’t profit that way. But all discounts will bring down the cost of coverage.

Auto insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of your policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.

Liability insurance

This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see values of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as emergency aid, medical expenses and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as much as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage covers damage to your Escalade ESV from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from getting keyed, vandalism, fire damage and falling objects. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses for doctor visits, nursing services, pain medications and surgery. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
