So just forget all the misinformation about auto insurance because I’m going to teach you one of the easiest ways to reduce your cost while increasing coverage.
There are a lot of ways to compare insurance prices but one way is less time-consuming than others. You could waste a few hours discussing policy coverages with agents in your area, or you can utilize online quoting to get rates in a matter of minutes.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but make absolute certain that you use identical coverages for every quote you compare. If you are comparing different deductibles it will be very difficult to make a fair comparison for your Chevy Caprice.
Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but there could be available discounts that you may not know about. Certain discounts will be applied when you purchase, but some may not be applied and must be specifically requested prior to receiving the credit. If you’re not getting every credit possible, you’re paying more than you need to.
Consumers should know that some of the credits will not apply to the entire cost. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So when the math indicates you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you’re out of luck. Any qualifying discounts will reduce the cost of coverage.
Insurance companies that possibly offer some of the above discounts include:
Double check with each company which discounts you may be entitled to. Some discounts might not be offered in every state.
When it comes to buying adequate coverage, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Every situation is different.

Shown below are some of the items insurance coverage companies consider when setting premiums.
Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Collision coverage protection
Collision coverage pays for damage to your Caprice resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things such as rolling your car, hitting a parking meter, damaging your car on a curb and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for expenses for things like hospital visits, pain medications, ambulance fees, EMT expenses and funeral costs. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability coverage
Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and 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. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage protects against claims like medical expenses, structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a bird. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle 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 Chevy Caprice.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Cheaper 1990 Chevy Caprice insurance is attainable both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best selection. There are still a few companies who may not provide the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these smaller companies sell through independent agents.
We’ve covered some good ideas how to save on insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more you quote, the better your chances of lowering your rates. Drivers may discover the best price on insurance is with a small mutual company.
When you buy insurance online, it’s not a good idea to sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In too many instances, an insured dropped full coverage and found out when filing a claim that they should have had better coverage. The aim is to buy enough coverage at the best price.
