Insuring your fleet can be pricey, but you can get discounts to cut the cost considerably. A few discounts will automatically apply when you get a quote, but less common discounts must be asked for prior to getting the savings.
Keep in mind that some credits don’t apply to the entire cost. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. Even though it may seem like you can get free auto insurance, companies don’t profit that way. Any amount of discount will reduce the cost of coverage.

Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are typical coverages offered by insurance companies.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like prosthetic devices, EMT expenses, pain medications, nursing services and dental work. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
Liability
Liability insurance protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability insurance covers claims such as legal defense fees, bail bonds, emergency aid and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Chevy Corvette.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Usually the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Collision protection
Collision insurance pays for damage to your Corvette caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door, rolling your car, backing into a parked car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as damage from flooding, vandalism, fire damage and hitting a deer. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
We just showed you a lot of information how to shop for 1994 Chevy Corvette insurance online. The most important thing to understand is the more companies you get rates for, the better your comparison will be. Consumers may even find the lowest rates come from some of the smallest insurance companies. Some small companies may have significantly lower rates on certain market segments compared to the large companies like Progressive and GEICO.
The cheapest insurance can be purchased online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should compare price quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance providers may not provide the ability to get a quote online and usually these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through local independent agents.
When shopping online for insurance, make sure you don’t sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In many instances, an insured cut liability coverage limits to discover at claim time that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. The aim is to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.
