Vehicle Insurance Comparison

Most companies provide coverage price quotes directly from their websites. Obtaining pricing is fairly simple as you just enter your personal and coverage information as detailed in the form. When the form is submitted, the system will obtain your credit score and driving record and generates pricing information based on these and other factors. Online quotes streamlines rate comparisons, but the time it takes to visit several different sites and type in the same information can be a bit repetitive. But it's very important to have as many quotes as possible if you want to find the best price on car insurance.

A quicker way to compare rates makes use of a single form that gets prices from more than one company. The form is fast, reduces the work, and makes online quotes much more enjoyable and efficient. Immediately after you send the form, it gets priced and you are able to buy your choice of the quotes returned. If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you simply finish the application and purchase coverage. The whole process can be completed in a matter of minutes and you'll know if lower rates are available.

If you have your current policy handy, we recommend you duplicate the insurance coverages identical to your current policy. This ensures you will have comparison quotes for similar insurance coverage.

Are you getting all your discounts?

Companies don't necessarily list all available discounts in a way that's easy to find, so the following is a list of both the well known and the harder-to-find savings tricks you should be using.

  • Defensive Driving Course - Taking a defensive driving course can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Passive Restraints and Air Bags - Vehicles equipped with air bags or motorized seat belts can qualify for discounts of 20% or more.
  • Drivers Ed for Students - Have your child enroll in driver's education in high school.
  • Pay Upfront and Save - If you pay your entire premium ahead of time instead of paying each month you could save up to 5%.
  • Senior Citizens - Mature drivers can possibly qualify for a small decrease in premiums.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Keeping the miles down could qualify for discounted rates on garaged vehicles.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given to the entire policy premium. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, car insurance companies aren't that generous.

Tailor your coverage to you

When choosing coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Everyone's situation is unique so your insurance should reflect that For instance, these questions may help highlight whether you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
  • Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • What can I do if my company won't pay a claim?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?

If you're not sure about those questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or go to this page to view a list of companies.
