The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but you can get discounts that can drop the cost substantially. Most are applied when you quote, but a few must be specially asked for prior to receiving the credit. If you’re not getting every credit you deserve, you are paying more than you should be.
Drivers should understand that some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. Most cut individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. Even though it may seem like adding up those discounts means a free policy, it just doesn’t work that way. But all discounts will help reduce your premiums.

Knowing the specifics of car insurance helps when choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Collision coverage protection
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a building and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they 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 Lincoln MKZ.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Insurance for medical payments
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses for chiropractic care, funeral costs and rehabilitation expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability auto insurance
This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as structural damage, court costs, emergency aid, medical services and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like a broken windshield, hitting a deer and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
