Save on 2022 Kia Sportage Car Insurance Quotes in 2024

Getting lower priced auto insurance might appear rather difficult for beginners to comparing and buying auto insurance online. With so many options of insurance companies available, how are people able to be able to compare them all to find better auto insurance prices?

Smart consumers take time to check auto insurance prices yearly because prices are rarely the same from one policy term to another. Just because you had the lowest quotes for Sportage coverage on your last policy a different company probably has better rates today. Block out anything you think you know about auto insurance because we’re going to demonstrate how to use online quotes to properly buy coverages while reducing your premium.

Compare insurance rates

There are multiple methods you can shop for insurance but one way is less time-consuming than others. You can waste a few hours (or days) driving to insurance companies in your area, or you can stay home and use online quoting to get pricing more quickly.

Many insurance companies participate in a marketplace where prospective buyers complete one form, and each participating company returns a rated price based on the submitted data. This prevents consumers from doing quote forms to each individual insurance company. To submit your quote information now, enter your zip code here.

The only drawback to using this type of form is you cannot specify which companies to get pricing from. So if you want to select specific insurance companies to receive pricing from, we have a page of low cost insurance companies in your area. Click to enter zip code.

Whichever way you choose to compare rates, make darn sure you compare nearly identical quote data for every company. If you enter different coverage information it will be nearly impossible to make a fair rate comparison. Having just a slight variation in limits may result in large price differences. And when comparing insurance rates, know that getting more free quotes provides better odds of finding a lower rate. Some regional insurers cannot provide rate quotes online, so you need to compare quotes from them, too.

Your situation helps dictate your coverage

When choosing adequate coverage, there is no cookie cutter policy. Every insured’s situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that might point out if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.

• Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
• Exactly who is provided coverage by my policy?
• What is UM/UIM insurance?
• Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
• Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
• Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and enter your zip code.

Auto insurance coverages and their meanings

Having a good grasp of your policy can help you determine the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Auto insurance terms can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like hitting a bird, hail damage, falling objects and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses for doctor visits, prosthetic devices, dental work, nursing services and EMT expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Liability

This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have 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. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for things like pain and suffering, funeral expenses and court costs. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Kia Sportage.

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 should not be overlooked. Most of the time these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Collision coverage

This covers damage to your Sportage resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, scraping a guard rail and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
