Are you overwhelmed by the sheer number of insurance coverage companies? You’re not alone. Consumers have so many choices that it can quickly become a real challenge to compare prices.

Consumers should take time to compare rates periodically because prices change frequently. Just because you had the best deal on NV insurance two years ago a different company probably has better rates today. You can find a lot of wrong information about insurance coverage online, so with this article, you’re going to get a bunch of ideas how to buy insurance coverage cheaper.

How to Compare Auto Insurance Costs

Comparing auto insurance rates can be a daunting task if you don’t utilize the most efficient way to do it. You can waste a few hours (or days) discussing policy coverages with local insurance agents in your area, or you could use online quoting to quickly compare rates.

All the larger companies take part in a program where prospective buyers enter their coverage request one time, and every company returns a competitive quote based on that data. This saves time by eliminating repetitive form submissions to every company. To compare 2013 Nissan NV rates using this form now click here (opens in new window).

The only drawback to using this type of system is you don’t know exactly which providers you will receive quotes from. If you prefer to choose individual companies to compare prices, we have assembled a list of low cost auto insurance companies in your area. Click to view list.

However you get your quotes, double check that you are using apples-to-apples coverage limits and deductibles on every quote. If your comparisons have different values for each quote it’s impossible to determine the lowest rate for your Nissan NV. Just a small difference in coverage limits can result in a big premium difference. Just remember that quoting more will enable you to find better pricing.

It’s not one size fits all

When buying the best insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s situation is unique.

For example, these questions could help you determine whether you would benefit from professional advice.

Does car insurance cover theft of personal property?
Does having multiple vehicles earn me a discount?
When would I need additional glass coverage?
Should I have a commercial auto policy?
Do I need replacement cost coverage on my 2013 Nissan NV?
Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
Should I get collision insurance on every vehicle?
Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?

If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form.

Auto insurance coverage basics

Knowing the specifics of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills like pain medications, dental work, ambulance fees and EMT expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims like damaging your car on a curb, driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability coverages

This will cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. It protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t 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. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers things such as pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Nissan NV.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Usually the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as fire damage, hail damage and hitting a bird. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
