Cheap insurance coverage quotes online

Comparing insurance coverage rates is a ton of work if you don’t know the fastest way to get free quotes. You could waste time driving to local insurance agents in your area, or you can stay home and use the internet to accomplish the same thing much quicker.

Many insurance companies take part in a program that allows shoppers to only type in their quote data once, and every company then gives them pricing determined by their information. This prevents consumers from doing form submissions for each company you want a rate for.

The only drawback to getting quotes like this is that you can’t choose which insurance companies to get pricing from. So if you prefer to choose specific providers to receive pricing from, we have assembled a list of companies who write insurance coverage in your area. Click here to view list.

It’s up to you which method you use, but try to keep identical coverage limits and deductibles on every price quote you get. If you compare different values for each quote you can’t possibly find the best deal for your GMC Yukon. Having just a slight variation in insurance coverages can make a big difference in price. Just keep in mind that having more price comparisons increases your odds of finding a lower rate than you’re paying now. Some regional insurers cannot provide rate quotes online, so you need to compare price estimates from the smaller companies as well.

Cheaper auto insurance rates with discounts

Some providers don’t always advertise every discount in a way that’s easy to find, so we researched both well-publicized as well as some of the hidden discounts that you can inquire about if you buy insurance online.

  • Active Service Discounts – Being deployed with a military unit may lower your rates slightly.
  • Drivers Education – Require your teen driver to take driver’s ed class as it can save substantially.
  • Braking Control Discount – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can reduce accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Options like air bags can qualify for discounts up to 30%.
  • Homeowners Savings – Just owning your own home can get you a discount because maintaining a house requires a higher level of personal finance.
  • New Vehicle Savings – Buying a new car model may earn a small discount since new model year vehicles have better safety ratings.
  • Discounts for Federal Employees – Being employed by or retired from a federal job can save as much as 8% on Yukon insurance depending on your auto insurance provider.

  • Discount for Swiching Early – A few companies give discounts for buying a new policy before your current expiration date. It’s a savings of about 10%.

Just know that many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like collision or personal injury protection. Even though the math looks like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies don’t profit that way.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When it comes to choosing coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a perfect coverage plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s and your policy should reflect that. These are some specific questions might help in determining if your situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • Is a blown tire covered by insurance?
  • Are my tools covered if they get stolen from my vehicle?
  • Is a fancy paint job covered?
  • Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?
  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • Is my 2018 GMC Yukon covered for flood damage?
  • I have health insurance so do I need medical payments coverage?
  • Do I need added coverage for expensive stereo equipment?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Car insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the normal coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your GMC Yukon.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Liability insurance – This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for things such as pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a building, rolling your car and driving through your garage door. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverages – This pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as vandalism, falling objects, damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from getting keyed and hitting a bird. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses such as surgery, rehabilitation expenses and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
