9 Discounts Chesterfield Shoppers Forget when Quoting Car Insurance

Paying for high-priced car insurance can overdraw your savings account and force you to make sacrifices. Comparison shopping is a smart way to make sure you're not throwing money away.

Insurance companies such as State Farm, Allstate, GEICO and Progressive persitently shower you with fancy advertisements and it is difficult to sift through the bull and effectively compare rates to find the best deal.

How to Buy Chesterfield Car Insurance Online

Shopping for lower car insurance rates is a ton of work if you aren't aware of the most efficient way. You could waste time talking about coverages with insurance agencies in Chesterfield, or you can utilize the web to get rates in a matter of minutes.

Many companies are enrolled in a marketplace that allows shoppers to only type in their quote data once, and each participating company returns a rated price based on the submitted data. This eliminates the need for quote requests to each individual car insurance company.

The one disadvantage to doing it this way is buyers cannot specifically choose which carriers you want pricing from.

Whichever way you use, make darn sure you compare exactly the same deductibles and coverage limits for each price quote. If you enter different values for each quote it will be impossible to truly determine the lowest rate in Chesterfield. Just a small difference in coverages may result in large price differences. And when comparison shopping, comparing more company's prices will increase your chances of finding better pricing.

How do I know if I need professional advice?

When choosing coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a "perfect" insurance plan. Everyone's needs are different so your insurance needs to address that. For example, these questions may help you determine whether or not you will benefit from professional help.

  • Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my vehicle is totaled?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
  • Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
  • What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
  • Am I covered by my employer's commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?
  • Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed 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.

Shop smart and save

Cheaper car insurance is possible from both online companies in addition to many Chesterfield insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to have the best chance of lowering rates. There are still a few companies who do not provide the ability to get a quote online and usually these small insurance companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you prepare to switch companies, it's not a good idea to skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. In too many instances, drivers have reduced collision coverage and discovered at claim time that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your focus should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at an affordable rate while not skimping on critical coverages.
