It’s a good idea to ask each company which discounts they offer. Savings may not be available in your area.

When might I need help?

When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions may help you determine if your insurance needs may require specific advice.

  • Should I sign the liability waiver when renting a car?
  • How high should my medical payments coverage be?
  • Will I lose any money if I cancel my policy before it expires?
  • Who is covered by my policy?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • How can I force my company to pay a claim?

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Car insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are the usual coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses such as chiropractic care, hospital visits and surgery. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

UM/UIM Coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Jeep Wrangler.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for claims like emergency aid, court costs and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as rock chips in glass, hitting a bird, damage from flooding, vandalism and hail damage. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your Wrangler from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers things like scraping a guard rail, rolling your car, sideswiping another vehicle, backing into a parked car and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Save for a rainy day

Throughout this article, we presented a lot of information how to save on 1990 Jeep Wrangler insurance. The key thing to remember is the more quotes you get, the higher your chance of finding lower rates. You may be surprised to find that the lowest priced insurance comes from a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising. Some small companies may only write in your state and offer lower rates compared to the large companies like State Farm, GEICO and Nationwide.

While you’re price shopping online, it’s not a good idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. There have been many cases where an accident victim reduced physical damage coverage only to regret they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The proper strategy is to buy the best coverage you can find at an affordable rate while not skimping on critical coverages.
