2004 Acura NSX Insurance Quotes – 8 Tips for Best Rates

I can’t think of anyone who enjoys paying for insurance coverage, especially when the cost is way too high.

Because you have many options when it comes to insurance coverage, it can be challenging to choose the best car insurance company.

You should make it a habit to price shop coverage occasionally because insurance rates fluctuate regularly. Despite the fact that you may have had the best price on NSX insurance two years ago there may be better deals available now. Block out anything you think you know about insurance coverage because you’re about to learn the tricks you need to know to find better coverage at a better price.

Are you getting all your discounts?

Car insurance is not cheap, but you can get discounts to cut the cost considerably. Some discounts apply automatically when you get a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be inquired about before being credited.

  • Driver’s Ed – Have your child complete a driver education course if it’s offered in school.
  • Federal Government Employee – Being employed by or retired from a federal job could cut as much as 10% off on NSX insurance depending on your company.
  • Use Seat Belts – Requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could cut 10% or more on the medical payments or PIP coverage costs.
  • Anti-lock Brake System – Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes prevent accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Good Student – A discount for being a good student can save 20 to 25%. The discount lasts up to age 25.
  • More Vehicles More Savings – Buying insurance for multiple cars or trucks on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Anti-theft System – Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems are stolen less frequently and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Defensive Driving Course – Completing a course teaching defensive driving skills could cut 5% off your bill and easily recoup the cost of the course.

It’s important to understand that most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Most cut the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. So when the math indicates all those discounts means the company will pay you, insurance companies aren’t that generous. But all discounts will reduce your overall premium however.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to buying coverage, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine whether you will benefit from professional help.

  • When should I remove comp and collision on my 2004 Acura NSX?
  • Who is covered by my policy?
  • Do I need medical payments coverage since I have good health insurance?
  • Can I afford low physical damage deductibles?
  • Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
  • Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of insurance companies in your area.

Don’t listen to company ads

Companies like Progressive, Allstate and Geico regularly use ads in print and on television. All the ads say the same thing about savings if you move your coverage to them. But how can every company make almost identical claims?

Insurance companies have a certain “appetite” for the type of customer that earns them a profit. An example of a driver they prefer might be between the ages of 40 and 55, owns a home, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. Any driver who fits that profile is entitled to the best price and is almost guaranteed to cut their rates substantially.

Consumers who do not match the requirements must pay more money and this can result in the customer not buying. The ad wording is “customers who switch” not “people who quote” save that kind of money. That is how insurance companies can confidently make those claims.

This illustrates why drivers must get a wide range of price quotes. It is impossible to predict the company that will have the lowest Acura NSX insurance rates.

Insurance coverages explained

Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverages offered by insurance companies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Acura NSX.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not 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 values of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things such as repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid, bail bonds, structural damage and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hail damage, vandalism, a broken windshield, rock chips in glass and fire damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your NSX resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things such as scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a ditch and colliding with another moving vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses such as dental work, prosthetic devices, doctor visits, funeral costs and X-ray expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Best coverage at the best price

Lower-priced 2004 Acura NSX insurance is definitely available online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and many times these regional insurance providers only sell through independent insurance agents.

While you’re price shopping online, it’s a bad idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are a lot of situations where an insured dropped liability limits or collision coverage and discovered at claim time that they should have had better coverage. The proper strategy is to buy a smart amount of coverage at the best price while still protecting your assets.
