How to buy auto insurance online

Getting more affordable 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe auto insurance pricing can be quick and easy. You just need to spend a few minutes on the computer comparing rates provided by online insurance companies. This can be accomplished by following the guidelines below.

• The first (and easiest) way to get quotes would be an industry-wide quote request form like this one (opens in new window). This quick form keeps you from doing separate quotes for every prospective company. A single form will return price quotes instantly.
• Another way to compare prices is to take the time to go to the website for every company you want to comare to request a price quote. For example, we’ll assume you want to compare Liberty Mutual, Progressive and GMAC. In order to compare rates, you need to spend time on each company’s site to enter your coverage information, which can take a lot of time. For a list of companies in your area, click here.
• The least recommended method to get comparison rates is making phone calls or going to each insurance agency near you. Quoting online makes this unnecessary unless you want the trained guidance that only an agent can give. It is possible with some companies comparison shop your insurance online and have a local agent actually service the policy.

Take whichever approach you prefer, but try to keep equivalent coverage data on every quote you get. If you compare different limits and deductibles on each one then you won’t be able to determine the best price for your Hyundai Santa Fe.

Get lower rates by taking advantage of discounts

Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but you may be missing some discounts to cut the cost considerably. Some of these disounts will be visible at the time of purchase, but once in a while a discount must be specially asked for before you get the savings.

• Full Payment Discount – If you pay your bill all at once rather than spreading payments over time you could save 5% or more.
• Life Insurance Discount – Select insurance companies reward you with a discounted car insurance rate on car insurance if you buy life insurance from them.
• ABS and Traction Control Discounts – Cars and trucks equipped with ABS or steering control can stop better under adverse conditions so companies give up to a 10% discount.
• Active Military Service – Having an actively deployed family member could trigger a small discount.
• Driver Education Discount – Require your teen driver to enroll in driver’s education in school.
• Theft Deterent System – Cars and trucks optioned with advanced anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and that can save you a little bit as well.
• Drive Less and Save – Driving less could earn discounted premium rates on garaged vehicles.
• Mature Driver Discount – Drivers over the age of 55 are able to get a small decrease in premiums on Santa Fe coverage.

Discounts lower rates, but most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only reduce individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. Even though it may seem like you can get free auto insurance, car insurance companies aren’t that generous. But any discount will definitely lower your policy premiums.

A few of the larger companies and some of the premium reductions they offer include:

• Progressive offers premium reductions for multi-policy, online signing, homeowner, good student, and multi-vehicle.
• Geico includes discounts for good student, anti-lock brakes, anti-theft, daytime running lights, and membership and employees.
• State Farm offers discounts including accident-free, Steer Clear safe driver discount, driver’s education, safe vehicle, defensive driving training, student away at school, and good driver.
• Esurance may have discounts that include emergency road assistance, online quote, claim free, multi-policy, anti-lock brakes, and homeowner.
• The Hartford policyholders can earn discounts including bundle, vehicle fuel type, driver training, good student, defensive driver, and air bag.

Before buying, ask every insurance company which discounts you qualify for. Some discounts listed above may not apply in your area. If you would like to see a list of insurance companies who offer free car insurance quotes, click here.

Auto insurance coverage basics

Learning about specific coverages of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverage types available from auto insurance companies.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses like funeral costs, dental work, rehabilitation expenses and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as damage from getting keyed, vandalism and fire damage. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Collision protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Santa Fe resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims like backing into a parked car, crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for things such as funeral expenses, medical expenses, pain and suffering, attorney fees and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but buy as much as you can afford.
