It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just make sure you use identical coverages and limits for each price quote. If you use different deductibles then you won’t be able to truly determine the lowest rate. Just a small difference in coverage limits could mean much higher rates. And when quoting car insurance, remember that more quotes provides better odds of finding better pricing.

Having a good grasp of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverage types found on the average auto insurance policy.
Insurance for medical payments
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses such as nursing services, chiropractic care and hospital visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass, falling objects and hitting a bird. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Auto liability
Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and 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. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability insurance covers things like loss of income, medical services and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage pays for damage to your Grand Am from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a ditch, colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter and colliding with another moving vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
When trying to cut insurance costs, do not reduce needed coverages to save money. In too many instances, someone dropped liability coverage limits and discovered at claim time that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your focus should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.
