Looking for lower insurance rates for your MINI Cooper Clubman? Are you a victim of overpriced insurance? Believe me, many consumers are feeling buyer’s remorse and feel like there’s no way out. Having so many choices, it is very difficult to choose the lowest price car insurance company.

This article will familiarize you with how to effectively get price quotes and some tips to save money. If you currently have car insurance, you will be able to lower your premiums substantially using these tips. Drivers just need to understand the tricks to shop on the web.

Do you qualify for a discount?

Insuring your fleet can be pricey, but companies offer discounts that can drop the cost substantially. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied at quote time, but some must be specially asked for before they will apply. If you’re not getting every credit you deserve, you’re paying more than you need to.

  • Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to use a seat belt can save up to 15% off your PIP or medical payments premium.
  • Life Insurance Discount – Some companies give a break if you buy life insurance.
  • Auto/Home Discount – When you have multiple policies with the same company you may earn 10% to 20% off each policy.
  • Senior Discount – Mature drivers may be able to get better auto insurance rates on Cooper Clubman insurance.
  • Own a Home – Owning a home may trigger a auto insurance policy discount because of the fact that having a home requires personal responsibility.

Drivers should understand that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. The majority will only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision. Just because you may think you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it just doesn’t work that way. Any qualifying discounts will reduce the amount you have to pay.

Car insurance companies that may have these benefits include:

Before buying, ask every prospective company which discounts you may be entitled to. Some discounts may not apply everywhere.

Insurance coverages 101

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as loss of income, repair costs for stationary objects, medical services and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for collisions

This will pay to fix damage to your Cooper Clubman resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a parking meter, colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door, crashing into a building and crashing into a ditch. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 2010 MINI Cooper Clubman.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Usually these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for expenses for things like pain medications, chiropractic care and ambulance fees. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance covers 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 coverage pays for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism, damage from flooding and theft. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Quote often and quote early

Lower-priced 2010 MINI Cooper Clubman insurance can be found on the web in addition to many insurance agents, and you need to price shop both to get a complete price analysis. There are still a few companies who do not provide online quoting and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.

Throughout this article, we presented many tips how you can get a better price on insurance. The key thing to remember is the more price quotes you have, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. You may even find the most savings is with a small local company. Some small companies can often provide lower rates in certain areas than their larger competitors like State Farm or Progressive.
