Comparing auto insurance rates can be a lot of work if you don’t understand the fastest way to get free quotes. You could waste a few hours talking to local insurance agents in your area, or you can stay home and use online quotes to achieve your goal.
Most of the best insurance companies belong to an insurance system that enables customers to submit one quote, and every company provides a quote based on the submitted data. This system prevents you from having to do repetitive form submissions for each company you want a rate for.

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Insurance for medical payments
Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses like nursing services, pain medications, funeral costs, rehabilitation expenses and prosthetic devices. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Liability car insurance
Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and property damage coverage for $100,000.
Liability insurance covers things like pain and suffering, legal defense fees and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like damage from flooding, hitting a deer, theft, rock chips in glass and vandalism. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision insurance
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for claims like sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 2007 Volvo XC90.
Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
