This easy form prevents you from having to do separate forms to each individual insurance company. Just one form gets you price quotes from all major companies.
  • A less efficient way to get quotes online consists of going to each company’s website to complete their respective quote request forms.

It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just make darn sure you compare identical information for every company.

Auto insurance coverage options for a Saturn VUE Hybrid

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on the average auto insurance policy.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance 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 pays for claims like fire damage, rock chips in glass and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Saturn VUE Hybrid.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses like surgery, rehabilitation expenses and dental work. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability car insurance – This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property in an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as medical services, funeral expenses and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Collision – This covers damage to your VUE Hybrid from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims like colliding with a tree, colliding with another moving vehicle and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

A penny saved is a penny earned

We covered some good ideas how to shop for 2009 Saturn VUE Hybrid insurance online. The key concept to understand is the more price quotes you have, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. You may even find the lowest premiums are with a small mutual company. These companies may cover specific market segments cheaper as compared to the big name companies such as Progressive or GEICO.

When shopping online for insurance coverage, you should never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. In many cases, an insured cut collision coverage and found out when filing a claim that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. The ultimate goal is to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the best price while still protecting your assets.

Cheap insurance is possible online and with local insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to have the best rate selection. There are still a few companies who do not offer you the ability to get quotes online and many times these small, regional companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
