View 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada Insurance Cost

Want the cheapest insurance rates for your Oldsmobile Bravada? Have you finally had enough of not being able to scrape enough together each month for insurance? Your situation is no different than many other drivers.

Drivers have multiple auto insurance companies to pick from, and although it’s nice to have a selection, having more insurers makes it harder to find the best rates for your vehicles.

How to get insurance rate quotes

When shopping for affordable auto insurance quotes, there are a couple of ways to compare quotes from different insurance companies. One of the best ways to find the lowest Oldsmobile Bravada rates is to jump online and get quotes. This is very easy and can be done in a couple minutes as outlined below.

1. If you are pressed for time, the simplest way to get quotes for comparison is an all-inclusive rate comparison like this one (opens in new window). This type of form keeps you from doing separate quotes for every prospective company. Just one form gets you price quotes from multiple low-cost companies.
2. A harder way to analyze rates is to take the time to go to the website for each individual company and request a quote. For examples sake, we’ll assume you want to get rates from GEICO, Progressive and State Farm. To do that, you would have to take the time to go to each site and enter your information, which explains why we recommend starting with the first method.

It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just ensure you are comparing identical coverages and limits on every quote you get. If the quotes have different coverage information it’s not possible to make a fair rate comparison. Having just a slight variation in coverage limits may result in large price differences. Just remember that comparing all the rates in your area helps you find more affordable insurance.

Lower rate quotes with discounts

Some insurers don’t always advertise every possible discount very well, so the list below details some of the best known in addition to some of the lesser obvious discounts you could be receiving when you buy auto insurance online. If you do not check that you are getting every discount available, you’re just leaving money on the table.

• Accident-Free Discounts – Insureds who avoid accidents and claims can save substantially as compared to drivers with a long claim history.
• Early Renewal Discounts – A few companies give discounts for buying a policy prior to the expiration date on your current policy. It’s a savings of about 10%.
• Theft Deterent System – Anti-theft and alarm system equipped vehicles have a lower chance of being stolen and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
• ABS Brakes – Cars, trucks, and SUVs equipped with ABS or steering control are safer to drive and the ABS can save up to 10%.
• First Accident Forgiveness – This one is not really a discount per se, but companies like Allstate, State Farm and GEICO will allow you to have one accident before hitting you with a surcharge if you are claim-free prior to being involved in the accident.

Discounts reduce rates, but you should keep in mind that some credits don’t apply to the overall cost of the policy. A few only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. So when the math indicates it’s possible to get free car insurance, nobody gets a free ride.

A list of companies and the discounts they provide are outlined below.

• Travelers offers discounts including hybrid/electric vehicle, early quote, new car, multi-policy, and payment discounts.
• 21st Century has savings for 55 and older, early bird, automatic seat belts, student driver, anti-lock brakes, good student, and air bags.
• State Farm policyholders can earn discounts including defensive driving training, good student, Drive Safe & Save, Steer Clear safe driver discount, driver’s education, multiple policy, and anti-theft.
• GEICO offers discounts for anti-theft, federal employee, seat belt use, good student, and military active duty.
• SAFECO may include discounts for bundle discounts, accident prevention training, safe driver, drive less, teen safety rewards, teen safe driver, and homeowner.
• AAA discounts include multi-policy, good driver, anti-theft, good student, AAA membership discount, and multi-car.

If you are trying to find the cheapest auto insurance quotes, ask all the companies which credits you are entitled to. A few discounts may not be available in your state. To see a list of companies that provide some of the discounts listed above, click here to view.

Coverage specifics

Having a good grasp of a car insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are typical coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Medical expense coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses, surgery, chiropractic care and X-ray expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability insurance covers things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive protection

This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from getting keyed, falling objects, hitting a bird and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Bravada resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims such as colliding with a tree, driving through your garage door and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Oldsmobile Bravada.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
