Doing online price comparisons is fairly straightforward because it’s just a matter of typing in your personal and coverage information into the quote form.

The ad said I’d save $401 a year!
Well-known auto insurance companies like State Farm, Geico and Progressive endlessly run television and radio advertisements. All the companies seem to make the promise that you can save if you move your policy. Is it even possible that every company can make the same claim?
Insurance providers quote their best rates for a prospective insured that earns them a profit. A good example of a preferred risk might be a married female, has a clear driving record, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. Any new insured who fits those characteristics receives the best premium rates and will most likely cut their rates if they switch.
Consumers who cannot meet those criteria will be charged a more expensive rate which leads to the customer buying from someone else. If you pay attention, the ads say “people who switch” not “everyone that quotes” save that much when switching. That is how insurance companies can confidently make those claims. Different companies use different criteria so it’s extremely important to get a wide range of price quotes. It’s impossible to know which company will give you lower car insurance rates than your current company.
Insurance companies offer lots of discounts
The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but you may qualify for discounts to help offset the cost. Some trigger automatically when you quote, but a few need to be inquired about before they will apply.
- Claim-Free Discount – Claim-free drivers can earn big discounts in comparison with insureds who have frequent claims or accidents.
- Early Switch Discount – A few insurance companies offer discounts for buying a new policy prior to your current policy expiration. You can save around 10% with this discount.
- Multiple Vehicles – Having several vehicles with the same insurance company can reduce rates for all insured vehicles.
- Seat Belts Save – Drivers who require all vehicle occupants to buckle up can save up to 15% off the medical payments premium.
- Paperless Signup – A few larger online companies give back up to $50 for buying your policy on the web.
As is typical with insurance, many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. A few only apply to individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. Despite the fact that it seems like you can get free auto insurance, it doesn’t quite work that way. But any discount will positively reduce your overall bill.
A few of the larger companies and their possible discounts are included below.
- State Farm offers premium reductions for accident-free, defensive driving training, anti-theft, driver’s education, and safe vehicle.
- Geico includes discounts for membership and employees, defensive driver, anti-theft, five-year accident-free, multi-policy, seat belt use, and good student.
- SAFECO may include discounts for drive less, anti-lock brakes, safe driver, teen safe driver, accident prevention training, and teen safety rewards.
- Farmers Insurance policyholders can earn discounts including teen driver, alternative fuel, good student, switch companies, and homeowner.
- AAA offers discounts for education and occupation, AAA membership discount, good driver, pay-in-full, good student, and anti-theft.
- USAA may have discounts that include defensive driver, family discount, multi-vehicle, new vehicle, and multi-policy.
If you need cheap auto insurance quotes, ask every company to apply every possible discount. A few discounts may not be offered in your area. To find providers that provide some of the discounts listed above, click here.
Do I just need basic coverages?
When choosing coverage, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Each situation is unique and your policy should reflect that. For instance, these questions may help you determine whether your personal situation could use an agent’s help.
- I don’t drive much so do I pay less?
- What discounts do I qualify for?
- What are the financial responsibility laws in my state?
- Do I need added coverage for expensive stereo equipment?
- What is roadside assistance coverage?
- Is business property covered if stolen from my car?
- Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
- Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Auto insurance coverage considerations
Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the usual coverages available from auto insurance companies.
Comprehensive auto coverage
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from flooding, hitting a bird and rock chips in glass. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision protection
Collision insurance pays for damage to your Q45 caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for claims like sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail, driving through your garage door and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills such as rehabilitation expenses, prosthetic devices, nursing services, chiropractic care and hospital visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 1999 Infiniti Q45.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Liability insurance
Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage protects against claims like court costs, medical services, medical expenses and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
A tidy conclusion
We covered many tips how you can compare 1999 Infiniti Q45 insurance premium rates online. The key thing to remember is the more rate comparisons you have, the better chance you’ll have of finding affordable auto insurance. Consumers could even find that the lowest premium rates come from a small local company. They may have significantly lower prices on certain market segments than the large multi-state companies such as Allstate, Geico and Progressive.
Some companies may not have the ability to get a quote online and many times these smaller providers sell through independent agents. Lower-priced auto insurance can be bought both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to comparison shop both so you have a total pricing picture.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, don’t be tempted to buy poor coverage just to save money. Too many times, drivers have reduced collision coverage and learned later that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your goal is to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
