Trying to find the cheapest auto insurance rates for your Lincoln Aviator? Are you tired of scraping the payment together to insure your Lincoln every month? You are no different than millions of other consumers. There are many insurance companies to choose from, and even though it’s nice to be able to choose, it makes it harder to compare company pricing.
Performing a rate comparison can take time and effort if you don’t utilize the best way to get rate quotes. You could spend your day discussing policy coverages with insurance companies in your area, or you can stay home and use online quotes for quick rates.
Most car insurance companies belong to a marketplace that enables customers to complete one form, and each company returns a rated price based on the submitted data. This prevents consumers from doing quote requests for each company.

One minor caviat to using this type of system is you can’t choose the providers to get quotes from. If you wish to select from a list of companies to compare, we have a page of companies who write insurance coverage in your area. Click to view list.
It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just make darn sure you compare apples-to-apples information for each price quote. If you use differing limits it’s impossible to determine which rate is truly the best.

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the usual coverages found on the average car insurance policy.
Collision protection
Collision insurance pays for damage to your Aviator resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision insurance covers things such as sideswiping another vehicle, driving through your garage door, rolling your car, crashing into a ditch and colliding with another moving vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Lincoln Aviator.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Normally these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Liability
This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees, medical services and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Coverage for medical expenses
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for expenses such as dental work, hospital visits, ambulance fees, chiropractic care and X-ray expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive car insurance
Comprehensive insurance covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as rock chips in glass, hail damage, damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
