Car Insurance Comparison Rates

Finding a lower price on 2015 Scion tC insurance is not rocket science. The only requirement is to spend a little time comparing price quotes from different insurance companies. This is very easy and can be done in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

• The first (and easiest) way to compare a lot of rates at once is an all-inclusive rate comparison (click to open form in new window). This easy form saves time by eliminating separate quotes for each company. Filling out one form will get you price quotes from car insurance companies with the best prices.
• A slightly less efficient method to obtain and compare quotes online consists of visiting each individual company website to complete a price quote.

To find out each rate you need to take the time to go to each site and enter your policy data, which is why the first method is more popular.

• The most time-consuming way to compare rates is to waste gas driving to and from local insurance agencies. The ability to buy insurance online makes this process obsolete unless you have a need for the professional guidance of a licensed agent. It is possible to price shop online and still use a local agent and we’ll touch on that later.

It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just ensure you’re using exactly the same coverages and limits for each price quote. If the quotes have higher or lower deductibles it’s not possible to truly determine the lowest rate.

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but there are discounts available that can drop the cost substantially. Some trigger automatically at the time of quoting, but a few must be asked about before being credited. If they aren’t giving you every credit you qualify for, you’re paying more than you need to.

• Multi-car Discount – Insuring more than one vehicle on one policy could earn a price break for each car.
• Life Insurance Discount – Larger companies have better rates if you take out life insurance.
• Multiple Policy Discount – When you combine your home and auto insurance with one company you may earn 10% to 20% off each policy.
• Driver Safety – Completing a driver safety course can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
• Payment Method – If paying your policy premium upfront instead of monthly or quarterly installments you could save up to 5%.
• Low Mileage – Driving fewer miles could be rewarded with a substantially lower rate.
• Accident Forgiveness – A few companies will allow you to have one accident before hitting you with a surcharge so long as you haven’t had any claims prior to the accident.
• Discounts for Safe Drivers – Insureds without accidents may save up to 50% more for tC insurance than drivers with accidents.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. So when it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it doesn’t quite work that way. But all discounts will cut the amount you have to pay.

Car insurance policy specifics

Having a good grasp of car insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are typical coverage types found on the average car insurance policy.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your 2015 Scion tC.

Because many people 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. Most of the time these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Auto liability insurance

Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against things like repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees, funeral expenses, structural damage and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive (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 then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as hitting a deer, falling objects, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a bird. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, funeral costs, surgery and ambulance fees. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision insurance

Collision insurance pays for damage to your tC resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail, backing into a parked car, driving through your garage door and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
