How to Get Auto Insurance Comparison Quotes

Getting better 2009 Subaru Tribeca auto insurance pricing is not a difficult process. You just need to spend a little time comparing rates from different insurance companies. This is very easy and can be done in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

The easiest and least time consuming way consumers can analyze rates is a comparison rater form like this one (opens in new window). This form keeps you from doing repetitive form entry for every auto insurance company. Filling out one form will return quotes from all major companies. It’s definitely the quickest method.

A different way to analyze rates is to manually visit the website of each company and complete a new quote form. For examples sake, we’ll assume you want to compare rates from Farmers, State Farm and Allstate. To find out each rate you need to go to every website to enter your coverage information, which is why most consumers use the first method.

The least efficient method of comparing rate quotes is to spend time driving to insurance agents’ offices. Shopping for auto insurance online can eliminate the need for a local agent unless you have a need for the professional advice that only a license agent can provide. It is possible to comparison shop your insurance online but buy from a local insurance agent and we’ll talk about that later.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but ensure you’re using exactly the same information for each price quote. If you have different liability limits it’s impossible to determine the best price for your Subaru Tribeca.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no “perfect” insurance plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

For example, these questions can help discover if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.

  • How can I find cheaper teen driver insurance?
  • Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?
  • Should I buy only the required minimum liability coverage?
  • Does my 2009 Subaru Tribeca need full coverage?
  • Am I covered by my employer’s commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?
  • What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.

Specifics of your car insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like dental work, chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses and surgery. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Collision – Collision coverage covers damage to your Tribeca resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for things like rolling your car, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability auto insurance – This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability insurance covers claims like attorney fees, funeral expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, court costs and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like a broken windshield, hitting a bird, damage from flooding, falling objects and hitting a deer. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2009 Subaru Tribeca.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
