Cut your car insurance rates with discounts

Companies don’t list every discount in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list both the well known and also the lesser-known discounts you could be receiving.

  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings – Fewer annual miles on your Ford could qualify for better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Drive Safe and Save – Safe drivers can pay as much as 50% less on E-250 coverage than drivers with accidents.
  • Defensive Driver – Taking part in a course in driver safety could cut 5% off your bill depending on where you live.
  • Memberships – Participating in a professional or civic organization is a good way to get lower rates on your policy on E-250 coverage.
  • Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Vehicles with factory air bags can receive discounts up to 30%.
  • Claim Free – Good drivers with no accidents can save substantially as compared to frequent claim filers.
  • Life Insurance – Companies who offer life insurance give better rates if you take out life insurance.
  • Good Students Pay Less – This discount can get you a discount of up to 25%. Earning this discount can benefit you up until you turn 25.
  • Paperless Signup – Certain companies will give a small break just for signing your application over the internet.
  • Federal Employees – Simply working for the federal government may qualify you for a discount on E-250 coverage depending on your company.

Drivers should understand that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. Just because it seems like it’s possible to get free car insurance, you’re out of luck.

Car insurance companies who might offer some of the above discounts include:

Automobile Insurance Quotes

All the larger car insurance companies provide coverage price quotes online. Getting online rates doesn’t take a lot of time as you just type in your coverage preferences into a form. When complete, their system requests credit information and your driving record and returns a price quote. Online quotes makes comparing rates easy, but the time it takes to visit different websites and enter the same data into a form gets old quite quickly. But it’s absolutely necessary to do this if you want to find the lowest car insurance rates.

The preferred way to compare rates requires only one form to get prices from a bunch of companies at once. It saves time, reduces the work, and makes online price comparison much easier. Once the form is submitted, it is quoted with multiple companies and you can pick any of the quote results. If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you simply finish the application and buy the new coverage. The whole process can be completed in a matter of minutes and you’ll know if lower rates are available.

If you have your current policy handy, we recommend that you enter the insurance coverages as close as possible to your current policy. Using the same limits helps guarantee you will have comparison quotes based on similar coverages.

You are unique and your insurance coverage should be too

When choosing the right insurance coverage, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Every insured’s situation is different so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that might point out whether or not you could use an agent’s help.

  • Is a blown tire covered by insurance?
  • How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
  • What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
  • Am I covered if my car is in a flood?
  • Do I have any recourse if my insurance company denies a claim?
  • Are rock chip repairs covered?
  • How do I insure my teen driver?
  • How much liability insurance is required?
  • Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
  • When should I remove comp and collision on my 1991 Ford E-250?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Parts of your auto insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the normal coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services, medical expenses, structural damage and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, hail damage, falling objects, vandalism and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage protection

This pays for damage to your E-250 from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a building. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses like ambulance fees, pain medications, nursing services and EMT expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program 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 universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This gives you protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 1991 Ford E-250.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Save for a rainy day

Cost effective 1991 Ford E-250 insurance is attainable online as well as from independent agents, so compare prices from both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance providers don’t offer you the ability to get quotes online and most of the time these small insurance companies sell through independent agents.

We just showed you quite a bit of information on how to get a better price on insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more companies you get rates for, the better chance you’ll have of finding lower rates. You may be surprised to find that the biggest savings come from the smaller companies. These smaller insurers may often insure only within specific states and give getter rates than the large multi-state companies such as Allstate or State Farm.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s very important that you do not buy poor coverage just to save money. There have been many cases where an insured dropped physical damage coverage and found out when filing a claim they didn’t have enough coverage. Your focus should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.
