Getting online rates is fairly simple as you simply type in the coverages you want as detailed in the form.

Pay less for Acura MDX insurance

Car insurance companies don’t necessarily list all their discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we break down some of the best known and the harder-to-find ways to save on insurance. If you aren’t receiving every discount available, you’re just leaving money on the table.

• Passive Restraints – Cars that have air bags or automatic seat belts may earn rate discounts of 20% or more.
• 55 and Retired – If you’re over the age of 55, you may receive reduced rates for MDX coverage.
• Homeowners Discount – Simply owning a home may earn you a small savings because owning a home requires personal responsibility.
• Claim Free – Claim-free drivers pay much less compared to drivers who are more careless.
• Discount for New Cars – Putting insurance coverage on a new car can be considerably cheaper due to better safety requirements for new cars.
• Pay Upfront and Save – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision. So even though they make it sound like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you won’t be that lucky.

Insurance coverages and their meanings

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are typical coverages offered by insurance companies.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This provides protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Acura MDX.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims such as rolling your car, colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, backing into a parked car and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability auto insurance – Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against things like repair costs for stationary objects, medical expenses and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills for rehabilitation expenses, chiropractic care, prosthetic devices and EMT expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive auto coverage – This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like damage from flooding, rock chips in glass and hitting a bird. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
