Overview:
Must-Have Coverage:
- Liability - medical & property.
Covers injuries to other people or other people's property. This will also cover
you for any lawsuits resulting from an accident.
- Uninsured Motorist (and
Underinsured Motorist) - while this may be optional in some States, you do not
want to be without it. Too many drivers these days don't have the right kind of
insurance. Others may not have any insurance.
- Collision
- pays for your car. Your lender will require it if you are still making
payments on it.
Optional Coverage:
- Comprehensive - covers
your vehicle when damaged from theft, fire, wind, and more.
- Emergency Road Service and Towing
- great for when your car breaks down.
- Personal Injury - pays for
injuries that you receive. Can also provide income while you recover.
Possible
Deductions:
- Approved driver safety course.
- A good driving record.
- Security devices on your car. More devices equals lower rates.
- Multiple policies with same insurer.
Money Saving Tips
-
Buy your car according to your budget. If you buy a car that is most
frequently stolen, or is sporty, you can expect that your auto insurance
premiums will be high. To get the best auto insurance rates, talk to your auto
insurance company before you buy to avoid cars with the highest rates.
-
Drive safely and responsibly. Tickets for speeding and other charges will
definitely raise your rates.
-
Increase your deductible if you think you can afford it. Remember you
must pay the deductible amount in full before the insurer will pay their
portion. Remove collision if you have an older car.
-
Save money by taking off the collision on your car insurance. You will
especially want to do this if your car is 8-10 years old. At that age, you may
be paying more each year for insurance than the car is worth.
-
Keep a good credit score. You may not know it, but most insurance
companies will look at your credit score when considering your insurance
premiums.
-
Compare several auto insurance quotes. Get several
auto insurance quotes and then compare them carefully. Pay quarterly rather than
monthly. This will save you a few dollars each month.
