If you are paying for car insurance now, you will most likely be able to lower your premiums substantially using this information. This information will let you in on the best way to quote coverages and some tips to save money.

How to Compare Car Insurance Quotes

When shopping for car insurance there are multiple ways to get quotes and find the best price. The recommended way to compare 2010 Dodge Caliber insurance prices consists of shopping online. This can be accomplished in several different ways.

1. The recommended way to get quotes for comparison is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This easy form prevents you from having to do repetitive form submissions for every car insurance company. In just a few minutes this one form will return price quotes instantly. Just one form and you’re done.
2. A more difficult way to find lower rates consists of going to the website for every company you want to comare and complete a new quote form. For examples sake, we’ll pretend you want rates from Progressive, Liberty Mutual and Farmers. To find out each rate you need to take the time to go to each site and enter your policy data, which is why most consumers use the first method.

Whichever method you choose, compare the exact same coverages with every price quote. If you have mixed coverages it’s impossible to make an equal comparison. Quoting even small variations in coverage limits could mean much higher rates. Just keep in mind that having more price comparisons will improve the odds of getting better pricing.

Everyone needs different coverages

When it comes to choosing coverage, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s situation is unique.

For instance, these questions may help highlight whether you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

• Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
• Should I buy additional glass protection?
• Am I missing any policy discounts?
• When should I remove comp and collision on my 2010 Dodge Caliber?
• Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
• Are my friends covered when driving my 2010 Dodge Caliber?
• When do I need to add a new car to my policy?
• Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• Do I pay less for low miles?

If you’re not sure about those questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form.

Insurance coverages and their meanings

Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for bills like nursing services, prosthetic devices, doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses and hospital visits. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage protection

This coverage pays for damage to your Caliber from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for things such as rolling your car, sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with another moving vehicle and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2010 Dodge Caliber.

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 a good idea. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Liability coverage

Liability insurance protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. It does not 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 limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for things such as medical services, medical expenses, repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like damage from getting keyed, falling objects, hail damage and hitting a deer. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
