View 2002 BMW 7 Series Car Insurance Rates

Are you tired of robbing Peter to pay Paul each month for car insurance? You are in the same boat as most other car owners. Numerous insurance companies battle for your insurance dollar, so it can be very hard to choose a insurer to find the absolute lowest price

Be sure to get all your discounts

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but there could be available discounts that you may not even be aware of. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied at the time you complete a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be specifically requested prior to receiving the credit. If you aren’t receiving every discount available, you are paying more than you should be.

  • Student Driver Training – Require your teen driver to take driver’s ed class in high school.
  • Paperwork-free – Certain companies give back up to $50 for buying a policy and signing up on their website.
  • Homeowners Savings – Simply owning a home can help you save on insurance because maintaining a house demonstrates responsibility.
  • More Vehicles More Savings – Buying coverage for multiple cars or trucks on the same insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Distant Student – Kids in college who live away from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle may qualify for this discount.

It’s important to understand that some of the credits will not apply the the whole policy. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision. So even though it sounds like you can get free auto insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way. But all discounts will cut the cost of coverage.

A partial list of companies that may have these discounts are:

Check with each company which discounts they offer. Discounts may not be available everywhere.

That rating information is sent automatically to insurance companies and they respond with quotes almost instantly.

How do I know if I need professional advice?

When it comes to choosing coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions can aid in determining whether your personal situation could use an agent’s help.

  • Am I better off with higher deductibles on my 2002 BMW 7 Series?
  • What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
  • Will filing a claim cost me more?
  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
  • Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
  • What exactly is covered by my policy?
  • Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It is quick, free and can help protect your family.

Car insurance specifics

Knowing the specifics of a car insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverages available from car insurance companies.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like a broken windshield, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from a tornado or hurricane, hail damage and theft. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision insurance

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for things such as crashing into a ditch, rolling your car, crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage

This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your BMW 7 Series.

Because many people 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. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Liability

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for things like court costs, repair costs for stationary objects, structural damage and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for bills for things like prosthetic devices, ambulance fees, rehabilitation expenses and surgery. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

In Summary

Lower-priced 2002 BMW 7 Series insurance is available online as well as from independent agents, so you should compare both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance companies don’t offer the ability to get a quote online and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

When trying to cut insurance costs, it’s not a good idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. In too many instances, an insured cut comprehensive coverage or liability limits and learned later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. The aim is to buy enough coverage at an affordable rate.
