  • Payment Discounts – If paying your policy premium upfront rather than paying monthly you could save up to 5%.
  • Senior Citizens – If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may receive a discount up to 10% on SRX insurance.
  • Organization Discounts – Being a member of certain professional organizations could trigger savings when shopping for insurance on SRX insurance.
  • Theft Prevention Discount – Vehicles with anti-theft systems prevent vehicle theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.

Car insurance policy specifics

Learning about specific coverages of your car insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the usual coverages found on most car insurance policies.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like vandalism, fire damage and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like prosthetic devices, chiropractic care and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision coverages – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as rolling your car, scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle and crashing into a ditch. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Usually these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Liability auto insurance – This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see values of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims such as court costs, funeral expenses and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

In Summary

Budget-conscious 2010 Cadillac SRX insurance is available both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to comparison shop both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance companies may not provide the ability to get a quote online and these small, regional companies work with independent agents.

As you shop your coverage around, don’t be tempted to reduce needed coverages to save money. There are too many instances where an insured dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The ultimate goal is to purchase a proper amount of coverage at an affordable rate while not skimping on critical coverages.
