Consumers need to have an understanding of some of the elements that help determine the rates you pay for insurance coverage. Knowing what influences your rates empowers consumers to make smart changes that will entitle you to much lower annual insurance costs.
Car insurance companies such as Allstate and Progressive consistently run ads on TV and radio. They all seem to have a common claim of big savings if you change your coverage to them. How can each company say the same thing? This is how they do it.
Insurance companies have a preferred profile for the type of driver they prefer to insure. For example, a profitable customer might be profiled as a mature driver, owns a home, and has excellent credit. A driver who fits that profile will qualify for the lowest rates and most likely will save when they switch companies.
Potential insureds who do not match these standards will be quoted a higher premium which usually ends up with the customer not buying. Company advertisements say “customers that switch” not “everyone that quotes” save that much money. That’s why insurance companies can make the claims of big savings. This emphasizes why you should get quotes from several different companies. Because you never know which car insurance company will give you the biggest savings on Cadillac CTS-V Wagon insurance.
Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage protects against claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees, medical services, funeral expenses and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses such as pain medications, chiropractic care, prosthetic devices and nursing services. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like damage from flooding, hail damage, hitting a deer and a broken windshield. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Collision insurance covers damage to your CTS-V Wagon from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for things like crashing into a ditch, damaging your car on a curb and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
We just covered some good ideas how to shop for 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon insurance online. The key concept to understand is the more price quotes you have, the better your comparison will be. You may be surprised to find that the lowest priced insurance coverage comes from a small mutual company.
When buying insurance coverage, it’s very important that you do not reduce needed coverages to save money.
