Just because you had the lowest rates on IS F coverage two years ago there is a good chance you can find better rate quotes now. Block out anything you think you know about car insurance because you’re about to find out the tricks you need to know to find the best coverage while lowering your premiums.

Buy insurance online

There are multiple methods you can shop for insurance and some are less time-consuming than others. You can spend countless hours talking to insurance companies in your area, or you can utilize the web to get pricing more quickly.

Many of the larger companies enroll in a system that enables customers to only type in their quote data once, and each participating company can provide price quotes based on that data. This eliminates the need for quote forms for each company you want a rate for.

The one disadvantage to pricing coverage this way is you can’t choose which insurance companies you will receive quotes from. So if you prefer to choose individual companies for rate comparison, we have a listing of companies who write insurance in your area. Click here to view list.

However you get your quotes, double check that you are using apples-to-apples coverage limits on every quote. If you have different data it will be next to impossible to determine which company has the best rates. Even a minor difference in insurance coverages could mean much higher rates. Just keep in mind that comparing a large number of companies will increase your chances of finding the best price. Some regional insurers cannot provide online price quotes, so it’s important to compare price quotes from the smaller companies as well.

Save 15 percent in 15 minutes? Is it for real?

Popular auto insurance providers such as Geico, State Farm and Progressive continually stream television and radio advertisements. They all seem to say the same thing that drivers can save some big amount after switching your policy. How do they all give you a lower rate? This is the trick they use.

Companies have an ideal profile for the type of customer that makes them money. A good example of a driver they prefer could possibly be between the ages of 30 and 50, owns a home, and has excellent credit. Any customer that fits those parameters is entitled to the best price and have a good chance to cut their rates if they switch.

Insureds who do not match those standards will probably be forced to pay a higher premium and this can result in the customer buying from someone else. If you listen to the ad wording, they say “customers who switch” but not “all drivers who get quotes” save that much money. That’s why companies can make those statements.

Different companies use different criteria so drivers must get as many free insurance quotes as possible. It’s not possible to predict which company will provide the lowest rates.

These discounts can reduce insurance rates

Some insurance providers don’t always advertise all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the next list breaks down some of the best known as well as some of the hidden credits available to lower your premiums when you buy insurance online.

• Employee of Federal Government – Having worked for a branch of the government may reduce rates when you quote insurance on IS F coverage depending on your insurance provider.
• Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags or motorized seat belts may qualify for discounts up to 30%.
• Active Military Service – Being deployed in the military could mean lower premium rates.
• Low Mileage Discounts – Low annual miles could be rewarded with better prices on cars that stay parked.
• Accident Waiver – Not necessarily a discount, but a handful of insurance companies will let one accident slide without raising rates if you have no claims for a specific time period.

Remember that most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. Despite the appearance that you could get a free insurance policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Car insurance companies that have these discounts are:

• AAA
• Progressive
• State Farm
• Esurance
• Nationwide

If you need cheap insurance quotes, ask each company or agent what discounts are available to you. Savings might not be available to policyholders in your area. To see companies that offer some of these discounts, click here.

When do I need an agent’s advice?

When it comes to choosing coverage, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Every situation is different.

For instance, these questions may help highlight whether or not you may require specific advice.

• Is a new car covered when I drive it off the dealer lot?
• Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?
• Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
• Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
• How much liability insurance is required?
• Is my teenager covered with friends in the car?
• Does my policy pay for OEM or aftermarket parts?
• Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
• Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?

If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form.

Insurance coverage basics

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses for things like funeral costs, doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses and ambulance fees. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability auto insurance

This can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims like repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees, court costs and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance covers damage to your IS F resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims such as rolling your car, colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like fire damage, hail damage, vandalism, a broken windshield and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Lexus IS F.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Money doesn’t grow on trees

Drivers switch companies for any number of reasons including denial of a claim, questionable increases in premium, policy non-renewal or even being labeled a high risk driver. Whatever your reason, finding a new auto insurance company is actually quite simple.
