Lower Your 2007 Honda S2000 Insurance Quotes

Nobody I know enjoys paying for auto insurance, in particular when the cost is way too high. Big companies like Progressive, Geico and Farmers Insurance all claim big savings, bombarding you with advertising and it is difficult to ignore the flying pigs and cute green geckos and do the work needed to find the best deal.

If you are insured now or need new coverage, you can learn to shop for the lowest rates and still get good coverage. Choosing the best insurance company for you is easy if you know what you’re doing. Consumers just need to learn how to shop for insurance coverage over the internet.

How to Compare Auto Insurance Costs

Finding a lower price on 2007 Honda S2000 insurance can be relatively painless. Consumers just need to take a couple of minutes comparing rates online from several insurance companies. This is very easy and can be done using a couple different methods.

The most efficient way to find low rates is a comparison rater form like this one (opens in new window). This type of form eliminates the need for repetitive form submissions to each individual auto insurance company. A single, simple form will return price quotes from many national carriers.

A less efficient way to obtain and compare quotes online is spending the time to visit the website for every company you want to comare to complete their respective quote request forms. For instance, let’s say you want to compare State Farm, Esurance and Liberty Mutual. To find out each rate you need to visit each site and enter your policy data, which is why the first method is more popular.

The hardest way to compare rates is driving around to local insurance agencies. Buying insurance online makes this process obsolete unless you prefer the trained guidance of a licensed agent. You can, however, obtain prices from the web and get advice from an agent in your area and we’ll cover that in a bit.

It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just double check that you are using apples-to-apples deductibles and coverage limits for every quote you compare. If you enter unequal deductibles or liability limits you can’t possibly make a fair comparison for your Honda S2000.

Don’t miss these discounts

Auto insurance companies do not list all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the following is a list of some of the best known and also the lesser-known ways to save on insurance. If you aren’t receiving every discount possible, you’re just leaving money on the table.

  • Good Student Discount – A discount for being a good student can save 20 to 25%. The discount lasts until age 25.
  • Anti-theft System – Vehicles with anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • College Student – Kids in college who are attending college and do not have a car can be insured at a reduced rate.
  • Accident Free – Drivers who don’t have accidents pay less when compared with accident-prone drivers.
  • Federal Government Employee – Simply working for the federal government may qualify you for a discount for S2000 coverage depending on your company.
  • Anti-lock Brakes – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can reduce accidents and earn discounts up to 10%.

Drivers should understand that some credits don’t apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So when it seems like you could get a free insurance policy, it just doesn’t work that way.

When might I need help?

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions could help you determine whether or not you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
  • Can my teen drive my company car?
  • Can I make deliveries for my home business?
  • How do I insure my teen driver?
  • Are my friends covered when driving my car?
  • Do I need rental car coverage?
  • Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
  • Should I get collision insurance on every vehicle?
  • Should I buy only the required minimum liability coverage?
  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to 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. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and can help protect your family.

Specific coverage details

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Collision – This coverage covers damage to your S2000 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims like driving through your garage door, rolling your car, hitting a mailbox, crashing into a building and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability insurance – Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you from claims by 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 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage pays for things like court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, legal defense fees, structural damage and pain and suffering. 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.

Insurance for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for expenses like X-ray expenses, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices and surgery. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from 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 coverage protects against claims such as theft, a broken windshield, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hail damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

A fool and his money are soon parted

As you shop your coverage around, it’s a bad idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. In too many instances, an accident victim reduced liability limits or collision coverage and found out when filing a claim they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The proper strategy is to purchase plenty of coverage at a price you can afford while not skimping on critical coverages.

You just learned some good ideas how you can shop for 2007 Honda S2000 insurance online. The key concept to understand is the more companies you get rates for, the better your comparison will be. You may even discover the best price on auto insurance is with some of the smallest insurance companies. These companies may have significantly lower rates on certain market segments compared to the large companies like Progressive or Geico.
