Shop car insurance online

Most major insurance companies such as Progressive, Allstate and GEICO provide coverage price quotes directly from their websites. This process is quite easy as you simply enter your personal and coverage information into the form. After you complete the form, their quoting system collects information on your driving record and credit history and provides a quote based on the data you entered.

Use discounts on insurance coverage

Companies offering auto insurance don’t always list all possible discounts very well, so we break down a few of the more well known and the more hidden credits available to bring down your rates.

• Safety Course Discount – Taking a defensive driving course is a good idea and can lower rates if your company offers it.
• Safety Restraint Discount – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to wear their seat belts can save 10% or more off the personal injury premium cost.
• No Claim Discounts – Insureds who avoid accidents and claims have much lower rates compared to policyholders that have many claims.
• ABS Brakes – Cars with ABS and/or traction control can avoid accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
• Student in College – Kids who are attending college and won’t have access to an insured vehicle can receive lower rates.
• Theft Deterrent Discount – Vehicles that have factory alarm systems and tracking devices have a lower chance of being stolen and that can save you a little bit as well.
• Professional Organizations – Belonging to qualifying clubs or civic groups could trigger savings on insurance coverage.
• Data Collection Discounts – People who choose to allow their insurance company to monitor driving manner through the use of a telematics system such as Allstate’s Drivewise and State Farm’s In-Drive system could save a few bucks if they have good driving habits.
• Discount for New Cars – Adding a new car to your policy can be considerably cheaper because new vehicles are generally safer.

Don’t be surprised that some credits don’t apply to the whole policy. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So when it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, nobody gets a free ride.

A list of insurance coverage companies and a partial list of their discounts are:

Tailor your auto insurance coverage to you

When buying proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s so your insurance needs to address that. These are some specific questions may help you determine whether or not you might need an agent’s assistance.

• Are rock chip repairs covered?
• Can I rate high risk drivers on liability-only vehicles?
• What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
• What is high-risk coverage and where do I buy it?
• Is rental equipment covered for theft or damage?
• Will my vehicle be repaired with OEM or aftermarket parts?

If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete your zip code.

Learn about auto insurance coverages for a BMW X7

Knowing the specifics of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the normal coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 2016 BMW X7.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Usually the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Coverage for liability – Liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has 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 limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for things such as bail bonds, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, court costs and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like fire damage, damage from getting keyed and hitting a bird. The highest amount 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 it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverages – Collision coverage covers damage to your X7 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things like driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle, scraping a guard rail and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like chiropractic care, dental work and pain medications. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
