The purpose of this post is to help you learn the best way to quote coverages and some money-saving tips.

How to compare free car insurance quotes

Many insurance companies such as Allstate, GEICO and Progressive make it easy to get prices online. Doing online quotes is easy for anyone as you simply enter into the form. Once entered, their rating system gets information on your driving record and credit history and generates pricing information based on many factors.

Quoting online simplifies rate comparisons, but the time it takes to visit a lot of sites and fill out multiple forms is not the best way to spend an afternoon. But it’s also necessary to get many rate quotes in order to get better car insurance pricing.

The smarter way to compare rates uses one simple form that analyzes rates from more than one company. This type of form saves time, eliminates form submissions, and makes price shopping online much more enjoyable. As soon as the form is sent, it is quoted with multiple companies and you can pick your choice of the resulting price quotes.

If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you can simply submit the application and buy the new coverage. The whole process can be completed in a matter of minutes and you’ll know if lower rates are available.

To quickly find out what other companies charge, simply enter your zip code here and enter your vehicle and coverage information. If you currently have coverage, we recommend you copy as shown on your current policy. This helps ensure you will have a rate comparison based on the exact same insurance coverage.

You may need specialized insurance coverage coverage

When buying the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a cookie cutter policy. Everyone’s needs are different.

For example, these questions might help in determining whether you will benefit from professional help.

• Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?
• Do I have coverage when pulling a U-Haul trailer?
• What are the best liability limits?
• What is no-fault insurance?
• Should I buy additional glass protection?
• Can my babysitter drive my car?
• When should my teen driver be added to my policy?
• Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out your zip code.

Auto insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see values of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for claims like funeral expenses, emergency aid, structural damage, court costs and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like vandalism, damage from getting keyed and hitting a bird. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for prosthetic devices, hospital visits and nursing services. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Toyota Tacoma.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liability limits.

Collision protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your Tacoma resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like rolling your car, scraping a guard rail and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
