There are a lot of ways to shop for car insurance, and some are easier and takes less work. You can waste a few hours (or days) talking about coverages with agents in your area, or you can utilize the web to get rates in a matter of minutes.

The one downside to pricing coverage this way is buyers cannot specifically choose which providers to receive prices from. So if you want to choose from a list of companies to compare rates, we have a page of car insurance companies in your area. Click here to view list.
Which method you use is up to you, but make darn sure you compare identical coverage information on every quote. If each company quotes unequal deductibles or liability limits it will be next to impossible to make an equal comparison. Having just a slight variation in insurance coverages can result in a big premium difference. And when comparison shopping, comparing a large number of companies provides better odds of finding a better price.
Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but you may find discounts that you may not even be aware of. Some trigger automatically when you get a quote, but less common discounts must be requested specifically before they will apply.
Drivers should understand that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. Some only apply to individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. Just because it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, it doesn’t quite work that way. Any qualifying discounts will bring down your overall premium however.
Insurance companies that may offer these money-saving discounts include:
It’s a good idea to ask every prospective company which discounts they offer. Discounts might not be offered in your state.
When it comes to choosing adequate coverage, there really is no cookie cutter policy. Every situation is different.
Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining whether you might need an agent’s assistance.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form.
Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Collision coverage protection
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision insurance covers things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a mailbox, crashing into a building, colliding with a tree and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hitting a deer, a broken windshield and theft. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Medical expense insurance
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills for funeral costs, rehabilitation expenses, prosthetic devices and nursing services. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
Liability coverages
This coverage will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show values of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability can pay for things like medical expenses, pain and suffering, bail bonds, loss of income and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Porsche Boxster.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Frequently these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
