Auto Insurance Comparison Rates

There are a lot of ways to compare auto insurance prices and some are less time-consuming than others. You could spend your day talking to insurance companies in your area, or you could save time and use the web to achieve your goal.

Many insurance companies are enrolled in a marketplace that enables customers to enter their policy data once, and every company then returns a price quote. This eliminates the need for form submissions to each company.

One minor caviat to pricing coverage this way is you don’t know exactly the insurers to receive prices from. So if you prefer to pick individual companies to compare, we have a page of auto insurance companies in your area. Click here to view list.

However you get your quotes, ensure you are comparing identical deductibles and coverage limits for every company. If you enter unequal deductibles or liability limits it’s not possible to truly determine the lowest rate. Just a small difference in insurance coverages can make a big difference in price. And when comparison shopping, comparing a large number of companies gives you a better chance of getting the best price.

Insurance coverages explained

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are typical coverage types found on the average insurance policy.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass, hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hail damage. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses for X-ray expenses, dental work, ambulance fees and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Mazda Mazdaspeed3.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Liability coverages

Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services, funeral expenses, repair costs for stationary objects and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims like driving through your garage door, crashing into a ditch, scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
