2011 Chevrolet Express Insurance Rates

I can’t think of a single person who looks forward to buying insurance coverage, especially knowing they are paying too much. You have so many car insurance companies to buy insurance from, and though it is a good thing to be able to choose, too many choices makes it more difficult to adequately compare rates.

Insurance Coverage Quote Comparison

Most major insurance companies provide insurance quotes on their websites. Obtaining pricing doesn’t take much effort as you just enter your personal and coverage information into a form. After the form is submitted, the company’s rating system automatically retrieves reports for credit and driving violations and generates a price determined by many factors. Quoting online simplifies rate comparisons, but the process of having to visit a lot of sites and enter the same data into a form is not the best way to spend an afternoon. Unfortunately, it is important to get many rate quotes if you want to find the best price possible.

The easy way to compare rates

A more efficient way to find lower prices is to use a quote form that gets prices from a lot of companies. This type of form saves time, reduces the work, and makes comparison shopping a lot less work. As soon as you send your information, it is quoted with multiple companies and you can pick any one of the quote results.

If you find a better price you can click and sign and purchase the new policy. It only takes a few minutes and you will know how your current rates stack up.

If you have coverage now, it’s recommended you replicate deductibles and limits identical to your current policy. This ensures you’re receiving an apples-to-apples comparison for exact coverage.

Do you qualify for a discount?

Car insurance is not cheap, but companies offer discounts that you may not know about. Certain discounts will be applied at the time you complete a quote, but a few need to be manually applied before you will receive the discount. If you aren’t receiving every discount you qualify for, you’re paying more than you need to.

E-sign – A handful of insurance companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks for buying a policy and signing up digitally online.
Defensive Driver – Taking a driver safety course can save you 5% or more if your company offers it.
Sign Early and Save – Select companies give a discount for signing up prior to your current policy expiring. It can save you around 10%.
Drive Less and Save – Low mileage vehicles could qualify for better rates on cars that stay parked.
Seat Belts Save – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to wear their seat belts could cut 10% or more on the medical payments or PIP coverage costs.
Drivers Education – Have your child successfully complete driver’s ed class if it’s offered in school.
Accident Waiver – Certain companies will allow you to have one accident before raising your premiums as long as you don’t have any claims prior to the accident.
Theft Prevention Discount – Cars that have factory anti-theft systems prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
Auto/Home Discount – If you have multiple policies with the same company you could get a discount of approximately 10% to 15%.

Consumers should know that some credits don’t apply the the whole policy. Most only apply to individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies don’t profit that way. But any discount will bring down your overall premium however.

What coverages do I need?

When choosing adequate coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions may help you determine whether you will benefit from professional help.

Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
Is business equipment covered while in my vehicle?
Is a fancy paint job covered?
Should I bundle my homeowners policy with my auto?
Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver?
Can I rate high risk drivers on liability-only vehicles?

If you can’t answer these questions, you might consider talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.

Coverages available on your insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses such as doctor visits, chiropractic care, X-ray expenses, nursing services and pain medications. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees, structural damage, legal defense fees and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

UM/UIM Coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2011 Chevy Express.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your Express resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims like damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hail damage, damage from flooding and rock chips in glass. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
