Are you a victim of an overpriced insurance policy? Trust us when we tell you there are a lot of people just like you who feel imprisoned by their insurance policy.
Insurance companies such as Geico, Farmers Insurance and State Farm continually bombard you with ads and it is challenging if not impossible to ignore the flying pigs and cute green geckos and do the work needed to find the best deal.
Smart consumers take time to get comparison quotes at least once a year because insurance rates change quite often. If you had the best price for CT 200h coverage a few years ago there may be better deals available now. Don’t believe everything you read about insurance on the internet, so with this article, you’re going to get the best ways to quit paying high insurance rates.
The best way we recommend to compare policy rates is to take advantage of the fact car insurance companies allow for online access to quote your coverage. The only thing you need to do is give the companies some data including your education level, how much you drive, if you have a valid license, and whether you are single or married. That rating data is then sent to multiple top-rated companies and you should receive rate quotes very quickly.

When choosing adequate coverage, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Every insured’s situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine whether or not you might need an agent’s assistance.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you might consider talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area.
Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the usual coverages offered by car insurance companies.
Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage covers 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 insurance covers claims like damage from flooding, vandalism, a broken windshield and hail damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Medical payments and PIP coverage – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses like chiropractic care, hospital visits, dental work and doctor visits. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays for damage to your CT 200h resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for things such as colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail and colliding with another moving vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Liability auto insurance – This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage protects against claims like bail bonds, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical expenses, loss of income and funeral expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
