It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but double check that you are using exactly the same coverages and limits with each company. If each company quotes differing limits you can’t possibly make a fair comparison for your Nissan Pathfinder. Just a small difference in coverage limits can mean a large discrepancy in price. And when comparing car insurance rates, know that getting more free quotes will improve the odds of getting a lower rate.
Auto insurance companies don’t always advertise all available discounts very clearly, so the following is a list of both well-publicized and also the lesser-known savings tricks you should be using.
Drivers should understand that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. Even though it may seem like you could get a free insurance policy, it just doesn’t work that way.

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area.
Having a good grasp of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are typical coverage types found on the average insurance policy.
Coverage for medical expenses
Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for EMT expenses, nursing services, dental work and prosthetic devices. They can be 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 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
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” 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.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Auto liability
This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as loss of income, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a mailbox, colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a parking meter and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Comprehensive insurance
This 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 coverage pays for claims such as vandalism, damage from getting keyed, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, fire damage and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Low-cost 2007 Nissan Pathfinder insurance can be found online as well as from independent agents, and you should be comparing both to have the best chance of lowering rates. A few companies don’t offer online quoting and these smaller companies work with independent agents.
As you prepare to switch companies, you should never skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. Too many times, someone sacrificed liability coverage limits to discover at claim time they didn’t have enough coverage. The proper strategy is to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.
