2003 Cadillac Seville Insurance Cost – 5 Tricks for Cheaper Prices

Comparing car insurance rates is not a procedure drivers look forward to, but it’s required in every state to be legal on the road.

Take advantage of discounts

Companies offering auto insurance don’t necessarily list all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we break down some of the more common and the harder-to-find ways to save on insurance coverage.

  • Payment Method – If paying your policy premium upfront instead of paying each month you can actually save on your bill.
  • Federal Government Employee – Being employed by or retired from a federal job may qualify you for a discount for Seville insurance with a few insurance coverage companies.
  • Organization Discounts – Affiliation with a professional or civic organization may earn a discount when buying insurance coverage for Seville insurance.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Being on active duty in the military can result in better rates.
  • Seat Belt Usage – Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to use a seat belt can save 10% or more off the personal injury premium cost.

It’s important to note that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. Just because you may think adding up those discounts means a free policy, it just doesn’t work that way.

Insurance specifics

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things such as colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as a broken windshield, damage from flooding, damage from a tornado or hurricane, hail damage and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Auto liability insurance

This can cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and 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. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage pays for things like loss of income, medical expenses, legal defense fees and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses like nursing services, pain medications, ambulance fees and surgery. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Quote more. Save more.

As you prepare to switch companies, it’s a bad idea to reduce coverage to reduce premium. Too many times, someone sacrificed liability coverage limits and found out when filing a claim that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your strategy should be to find the BEST coverage at an affordable rate while not skimping on critical coverages.

Budget-conscious 2003 Cadillac Seville insurance can be purchased on the web and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance companies may not provide the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these smaller companies sell through independent agents.

We just showed you many ideas to lower your insurance rates. The most important thing to understand is the more price quotes you have, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. Drivers may discover the most savings is with a smaller regional carrier.
