If you’ve never shopped for insurance online, you can be overwhelmed because of the huge number of insurance companies selling insurance.
You should make it a habit to check insurance prices occasionally since rates are usually higher with each renewal. Just because you had the best deal for 350Z coverage on your last policy there may be better deals available now. There is a lot of wrong information about insurance on the internet, so by reading this article, you’re going to learn some tested techniques to find affordable insurance.
Companies offering auto insurance do not advertise all available discounts in an easy-to-find place, so we researched some of the best known and the harder-to-find insurance savings.
It’s important to understand that most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. So even though it sounds like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, insurance companies aren’t that generous.

Performing a rate comparison can take hours if you don’t understand the most efficient way to do it. You can waste a few hours (or days) discussing policy coverages with insurance companies in your area, or you could save time and use the web to get pricing more quickly.
Most car insurance companies belong to an insurance system that allows shoppers to complete one form, and each participating company then gives them pricing based on that data. This saves time by eliminating repetitive form submissions to each individual insurance company. To participate in this free quote system, click to open in new window.
The single downside to using this type of form is that you can’t choose which insurance companies you will receive quotes from. If you would rather choose specific insurance companies to compare rates, we put together a list of companies who write insurance in your area. Click here to view list.
Whichever method you choose, make sure you use the exact same coverage limits and deductibles for each comparison quote. If you are comparing higher or lower deductibles you will not be able to determine the lowest rate for your Nissan 350Z. Having just a slight variation in coverage limits could mean much higher rates. And when quoting insurance, remember that having more price comparisons helps you find the best price.
When choosing proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no one size fits all plan. Each situation is unique.
For example, these questions might point out if your insurance needs might need an agent’s assistance.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form.
Knowing the specifics of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like vandalism, hitting a bird, hail damage and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Liability auto insurance
Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. It protects you against claims from 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. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers claims such as loss of income, structural damage, legal defense fees, attorney fees and bail bonds. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Nissan 350Z.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.
Medical expense insurance
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices and hospital visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Collision insurance
This will pay to fix damage to your 350Z from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against claims like backing into a parked car, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a building. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Insureds leave their current company for any number of reasons including denial of a claim, lack of trust in their agent, unfair underwriting practices and even being labeled a high risk driver. Whatever your reason, finding a new car insurance company is actually quite simple.
We just showed you a lot of information how to save on 2008 Nissan 350Z insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more times you quote, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. Consumers could even find that the lowest premiums are with a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising.
Cheap insurance can be purchased online and with local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance providers do not offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.
