• Federal Employees – Simply working for the federal government can earn a discount up to 10% for Xterra coverage with select insurance companies.
• Multiple Policy Discount – When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same company you may earn 10% to 20% off each policy.
• Claim Free – Claim-free drivers pay much less when compared with bad drivers.
• Drive Less and Save – Fewer annual miles on your Nissan can qualify you for discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
• Early Signing – Some insurance companies reward drivers for switching policies before your current policy expires. This can save 10% or more.
• Paperless Signup – Certain companies will give a small break for buying your policy over the internet.
• Discount for Life Insurance – Select insurance companies reward you with a discount if you purchase life insurance from them.

Insurance coverages 101

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses such as prosthetic devices, hospital visits, funeral costs and chiropractic care. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability insurance covers claims such as bail bonds, structural damage, loss of income, medical expenses and funeral expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Nissan Xterra.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive insurance

This pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism, hail damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane and damage from flooding. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Auto collision coverage

This pays for damage to your Xterra from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims such as colliding with a tree, backing into a parked car, crashing into a building and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Keep this in mind

Cheaper 2014 Nissan Xterra insurance can be purchased from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. A few companies may not provide the ability to get a quote online and these smaller companies work with independent agents.

People switch companies for many reasons like high rates after DUI convictions, poor customer service, delays in paying claims or extreme rates for teen drivers. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, switching companies is pretty simple and you could end up saving a buck or two.

You just read a lot of tips how to get a better price on insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the higher the chance of saving money. You may be surprised to find that the best price on auto insurance is with the smaller companies.
