Trying to find the cheapest insurance rates for your Maserati Quattroporte? Cutting costs on insurance is nearly impossible for beginners to shopping for insurance online. People have so many options available that it can turn into a lot of work to find lower rates.
You should make it a habit to do rate comparisons before your policy renews because insurance rates are usually higher with each renewal. Even if you think you had the best rates on Quattroporte coverage six months ago other companies may now be cheaper. Ignore everything you know about insurance because you’re about to find out how to quote online to find great coverage at a great price.
Effectively comparing insurance coverage prices can take hours if you don’t understand the most efficient way to do it. You can waste hours talking about coverages with insurance agencies in your area, or you could use the web for quick rates.
Many companies participate in an industry program that allows shoppers to send in one quote, and each company can give them a price for coverage. This prevents consumers from doing repetitive form submissions for each company.

The single downside to getting quotes like this is you cannot specify which carriers to receive prices from. If you prefer to choose specific insurance companies to request quotes from, we have assembled a list of companies who write insurance coverage in your area. View list of insurance companies.
However you get your quotes, make sure you use identical coverage limits and deductibles with every price quote. If each company quotes differing limits it will be very difficult to truly determine the lowest rate. Quoting even small variations in limits may cause a big price difference. Just remember that more quotes will improve the odds of getting a better price.
Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but there are discounts available that you may not even be aware of. Some discounts apply automatically at the time of quoting, but some may not be applied and must be manually applied prior to getting the savings.
As a disclaimer on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given the the whole policy. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So even though it sounds like it’s possible to get free car insurance, it just doesn’t work that way. Any qualifying discounts will help reduce the amount you have to pay.

When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s needs are different.
Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether your personal situation might need an agent’s assistance.
If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form.
Knowing the specifics of your policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Collision coverage protection
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with a tree and hitting a mailbox. 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.
Liability car insurance
Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as attorney fees, pain and suffering and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
Coverage for medical expenses
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for expenses such as EMT expenses, nursing services, dental work and prosthetic devices. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2015 Maserati Quattroporte.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive insurance
This coverage pays for 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 things like vandalism, falling objects and damage from flooding. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
