Cheap Insurance Comparisons

Finding lower insurance rates is not a difficult process. Consumers just need to take a few minutes to compare quotes provided by online insurance companies. This can be done using a couple different methods.

1. The first (and easiest) way to get quotes is a comparison rater form click here to open form in new window. This form prevents you from having to do separate quotation requests for each company you want a rate for. Completing one form will return price quotes from multiple low-cost companies. It’s definitely the quickest method.
2. A less efficient way to obtain and compare quotes online is to manually visit the website of each company and fill out their own quote form. For example, we’ll assume you want to compare rates from Geico, State Farm and Liberty Mutual. To find out each rate you need to visit each site and enter your information, which is why the first method is quicker. For a handy list of car insurance company links in your area, click here.
3. The least efficient way to get comparison rates is to drive around to insurance agents’ offices. Buying insurance online can eliminate the need for a local agent unless you prefer the trained guidance of a licensed agent. Drivers can obtain prices from the web but buy from a local insurance agent and we’ll talk about that later.

However you get your quotes, make absolute certain that you use identical coverages for each comparison quote. If you enter different values for each quote it’s impossible to determine the lowest rate for your Buick Encore.

• What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
• What discounts do I qualify for?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and can help protect your family.

Coverages available on your car insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your 2013 Buick Encore.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses like rehabilitation expenses, pain medications, chiropractic care and nursing services. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision insurance

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Encore resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as colliding with a tree, crashing into a ditch and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hail damage and fire damage. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Liability

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like attorney fees, medical services and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.
