How to compare free insurance coverage rate quotes

When complete, the system automatically retrieves information on your driving record and credit history and quotes a price based on these factors. This makes comparing rates easy, but the time it takes to visit each company’s website and repetitively type in the same information can be a bit repetitive.

The easiest way to find better insurance coverage pricing is to use a quote form to get prices from several companies at one time. It’s a real time-saver, eliminates form submissions, and makes online shopping a little more enjoyable. Immediately after submitting the form, it is quoted and you can choose any of the quotes that you receive. If a lower price is quoted, you can click and sign and buy the policy. It just takes a couple of minutes and you will know how your current rates stack up.

To save time and compare rates now, simply enter your zip code here and submit the form. If you have your current policy handy, we recommend you complete the form with the coverage information just like they are on your policy. This ensures you will receive a fair comparison based on the exact same insurance coverage.

Car insurance coverages and their meanings

Learning about specific coverages of your car insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. Car insurance terms can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are the usual coverages found on most car insurance policies.

Collision – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Silverado 3500HD caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, rolling your car and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Coverage for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses such as surgery, ambulance fees, funeral costs, chiropractic care and EMT expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – This coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Liability coverages – This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see values of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for things such as medical services, emergency aid and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as fire damage, damage from getting keyed and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
