Are you a victim of overpriced car insurance? You’re preaching to the choir because you’re not alone. Lots of car insurance companies contend for your hard-earned dollar, and it can be difficult to compare rates to discover the definitive best price available.

Insurance is neither fun to buy or cheap, but you might already qualify for some discounts that many people don’t even know exist. Some trigger automatically at the time you complete a quote, but a few must be asked about in order for you to get them.
As a disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Most only apply to individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. Even though it appears having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Knowing the specifics of insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.
This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have values of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.
Liability insurance covers things like emergency aid, bail bonds, legal defense fees, funeral expenses and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.
Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 1990 Isuzu Impulse.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.
Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from getting keyed, hitting a deer, falling objects, vandalism and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits and funeral costs. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
This coverage pays for damage to your Impulse resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for claims such as crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a parking meter and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
