Compare Car Insurance Today

Finding a better price on car insurance is surprisingly easy. The only requirement is to spend a few minutes on the computer to get quotes online from several insurance companies. This is very easy and can be done in a couple of different ways.

  1. Probably the best way to get quotes for comparison is a comparison rater form click to view form in new window. This form keeps you from doing separate forms for each company you want a rate for. Filling out one form will get you rate comparisons direct from many companies. This is perfect if you don’t have a lot of time.
  2. A less efficient way to compare prices consists of going to each company’s website and complete a new quote form. For sake of this example, let’s assume you want to compare State Farm, Progressive and American Family. To get each rate you have to spend time on each company’s site to enter your coverage information, and that’s why the first method is more popular.

Whichever way you use, make sure you use identical information for each comparison quote. If you are comparing higher or lower deductibles you will not be able to determine the lowest rate for your Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback.

Tailor your coverage to you

When buying the best auto insurance coverage, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For instance, these questions may help highlight if your situation would benefit from professional advice.

  • Does coverage extend to a rental car in a foreign country?
  • Should I rate my 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback as pleasure use or commute?
  • When can I cancel my policy?
  • Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
  • What happens if I owe more than my 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback is worth?
  • Do I need an umbrella policy?
  • How do I insure my teen driver?
  • Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
  • What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?
  • Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?

If you can’t answer these questions, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.

Insurance coverage basics

Knowing the specifics of insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Medical expense insurance – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills like dental work, chiropractic care and funeral costs. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, rock chips in glass, hitting a bird 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.

Collision – This pays for damage to your Lancer Sportback resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims like hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle, damaging your car on a curb and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Auto liability – This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover 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. As an example, you may have values of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as medical expenses, legal defense fees, loss of income, emergency aid and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback.

Since a lot of 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. Usually these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
