Drivers should understand that most discounts do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut individual premiums such as comp or med pay.

A partial list of companies that possibly offer some of the above discounts may include but are not limited to:

It’s a good idea to ask each insurance company which discounts you may be entitled to. Discounts might not apply in your area.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s needs are different.

These are some specific questions might help in determining if you will benefit from professional help.

  • Do I have coverage when making deliveries for my home business?
  • What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?
  • Is my teenager covered with friends in the car?
  • Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?
  • Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?
  • Can I drive in Mexico and have coverage?
  • Is my state a no-fault state?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you might consider talking to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form.

Insurance coverage myths debunked

Insurance coverage companies such as 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm consistently run ads on TV and radio. They all seem to make an identical promise about savings if you change to their company. How do they all say the same thing? This is how they do it.

Insurance companies have a preferred profile for the type of customer that is profitable for them. For instance, a desirable insured could be over the age of 50, has no prior claims, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. A customer who meets those qualifications will get very good rates and most likely will save when they switch companies.

Drivers who do not match the requirements must pay more money and ends up with business going elsewhere. The ads say “people who switch” not “everyone that quotes” save that much money. That’s the way companies can advertise the savings.

This illustrates why drivers should get quotes from several different companies. You cannot predict which insurance coverage company will fit your personal profile best.

What car insurance coverages do you need?

Knowing the specifics of car insurance aids in choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Coverage for medical expenses – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses such as surgery, nursing services, doctor visits, X-ray expenses and funeral costs. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability auto insurance – This coverage can cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for things like emergency aid, medical expenses and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Collision coverages – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Tiburon caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things such as backing into a parked car, hitting a mailbox, scraping a guard rail, sideswiping another vehicle and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Hyundai Tiburon.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive car insurance – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as a broken windshield, hitting a bird and damage from flooding. The most your car 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.

Don’t be a big spender

Drivers change insurance companies for many reasons like lack of trust in their agent, extreme rates for teen drivers, unfair underwriting practices or even delays in paying claims. No matter why you want to switch, choosing a new insurance company can be easy and end up saving you some money.

We’ve covered quite a bit of information on how to save on 1998 Hyundai Tiburon insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more providers you compare, the higher the chance of saving money. Consumers could even find that the lowest priced insurance coverage comes from a small local company.

While you’re price shopping online, make sure you don’t reduce needed coverages to save money. There have been many cases where drivers have reduced comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to regret at claim time they didn’t have enough coverage. Your aim should be to purchase plenty of coverage for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.
