How much does auto insurance cost?

Most larger insurance companies like Allstate and Progressive provide pricing on the web. Doing online price comparisons is possible for anyone as you just type in your personal and coverage information as detailed in the form. After the form is submitted, the company’s rating system will obtain your driving record and credit report and gives you a price quote based on these and other factors.

Quoting online makes it simple to compare prices but the time it takes to visit multiple sites and complete many quote forms can be a bit tiresome and repetitive. But it’s also necessary to have as many quotes as possible if you want to find better prices.

Get cheap rates with these discounts

Companies do not list every available discount in a way that’s easy to find, so the following is a list of both well-publicized as well as the least known credits that you can use to lower your rates.

• Student Driver Training – Have your child enroll and complete driver’s education as it will make them better drivers and lower rates.
• Anti-theft System – Cars and trucks equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
• Safe Driver Discounts – Drivers without accidents can save up to 40% or more on their auto insurance quote on e-Golf coverage as compared to drivers with claims.
• Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Vehicles equipped with air bags or automatic seat belts may earn rate discounts of up to 25% or more.
• Home Ownership Discount – Being a homeowner can get you a discount since home ownership is proof that your finances are in order.
• Claim-Free Discount – Drivers who don’t have accidents get the best car insurance rates in comparison with frequent claim filers.
• Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Forcing all vehicle occupants to wear their seat belts may be able to save a few bucks on medical payment and PIP coverage.
• First Accident Forgiveness – Not really a discount, but some insurance companies permit an accident before your rates go up so long as you haven’t had any claims for a particular time prior to the accident.

Please keep in mind that most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. So even though it sounds like it’s possible to get free car insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Insurance coverage can be complex

When it comes to buying coverage, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Every insured’s situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether you might need an agent’s assistance.

• Can I drive in Mexico and have coverage?
• What if I total my 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf and owe more than it’s worth?
• Who is covered by my policy?
• Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
• Do I have coverage if my license is suspended?
• Do I pay less for low miles?
• What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?
• Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
• How much liability insurance is required?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.

Car insurance coverage specifics

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Collision – This coverage pays for damage to your e-Golf resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail, damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for liability – Liability insurance protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. It protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims such as pain and suffering, funeral expenses and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverages – This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass, hail damage and fire damage. The most your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – This provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Coverage for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like pain medications, EMT expenses, surgery, funeral costs and nursing services. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
