How to Compare Auto Insurance Costs

Finding a lower price on 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee insurance can be relatively painless. All you need to do is take the time to get quotes online with multiple companies. This can be done in several different ways.

1. One of the best ways to get the best comparison quotes is an all-inclusive rate comparison (click to open form in new window). This form prevents you from having to do a different quote to each individual auto insurance company. In just a few minutes this one form will get you rate comparisons from multiple low-cost companies. Recommended for those who want to invest the least amount of time.
2. A different way to get quotes online consists of going to each individual company website and fill out their own quote form. For example, we’ll pretend you want to compare rates from Progressive, State Farm and Liberty Mutual. To find out each rate you need to take the time to go to each site to input your insurance information, which is why the first method is quicker.

3. The least recommended way to compare rates is driving to local insurance agencies. Buying insurance online has reduced the need for local agents unless you prefer the professional guidance only provided by licensed agents. Drivers can get the lowest quotes online but still have the advice of a local agent and we’ll talk about that later.

It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just double check that you are using the exact same coverage information on every quote you get. If each company quotes higher or lower deductibles it will be next to impossible to make a fair comparison for your Jeep Grand Cherokee.

• Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
• Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form. It is quick, free and may give you better protection.

Car insurance coverage information

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for nursing services, prosthetic devices and surgery. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

UM/UIM Coverage

This gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, falling objects, damage from flooding, hitting a deer and theft. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t 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 commonly see limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage protects against things such as loss of income, legal defense fees, funeral expenses, pain and suffering and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your Grand Cherokee resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like rolling your car, crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
