Getting online rates doesn’t take a lot of time as you simply type in your required coverages into the quote form.

• Safety Restraint Discount – Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to buckle up could save 15% off PIP or medical payments premium.

Your situation helps dictate your coverage

When it comes to buying the best car insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and your policy should reflect that. For example, these questions can aid in determining if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.

• How do I insure my teen driver?
• Does insurance cover damages from a DUI accident?
• How high should my uninsured/underinsured coverage be in my state?
• Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
• Are my tools covered if they get stolen from my vehicle?
• How much can I save by bundling my policies?
• Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
• Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
• What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

What insurance coverages do you need?

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverages found on most insurance policies.

Collision – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Astro Cargo resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things such as crashing into a building, sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a ditch, hitting a parking meter and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills for things like nursing services, X-ray expenses, rehabilitation expenses and ambulance fees. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance – This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, legal defense fees and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Chevy Astro Cargo.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as rock chips in glass, falling objects and a broken windshield. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
