How to find affordable quotes for Fiat 500 insurance in Chandler

Really, the only way to get the cheapest auto insurance rates is to start comparing prices regularly from companies that sell auto insurance in Chandler. Rates can be compared by completing these steps.

Step 1: Read and learn about how auto insurance works and the modifications you can make to lower rates. Many risk factors that are responsible for high rates such as at-fault accidents and a negative credit rating can be controlled by improving your driving habits or financial responsibility.

Step 3: Compare the new rates to the premium of your current policy to see if you can save by switching companies. If you find better rates and switch companies, make sure coverage does not lapse between policies.

Step 4: Provide notification to your current agent or company of your decision to cancel your current coverage and submit a completed policy application and payment for the new coverage. Make sure you put the certificate verifying coverage in your glove compartment.

One thing to remember is to make sure you’re comparing the same coverage limits and deductibles on every quote and and to get price estimates from every insurance company. Doing this ensures a level playing field and maximum price selection.

Big-name insurance companies like State Farm, Allstate, GEICO and Progressive continually hit you with ads and it is challenging if not impossible to avoid their marketing magic and find the best price available.

How You Can Control Fiat 500 Insurance Rates

Lots of factors are used in the calculation when you quote your car insurance policy. A few of the factors are predictable such as your driving record, but other factors are not as apparent such as whether you are married or how financially stable you are.

The items below are a few of the things utilized by car insurance companies to help set premiums.

• You might want pay the small claims yourself – Insurance companies in Arizona give the lowest premiums to insureds who are not frequent claim filers. If you frequently file small claims, you can look forward to higher rates. Insurance coverage is intended for the large, substantial claims.
• Cheaper rates with high coverage deductibles – Coverage for physical damage, termed comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy, protects your Fiat from damage. Examples of some claims that would be covered are a windshield shattered by a rock, hitting a deer, and damage caused by flying debris. Physical damage deductibles define how much the insured will be required to pay if you file a covered claim. The more money you choose to pay out-of-pocket, the less your company will charge you for insurance.
• Job and insurance premiums – Occupations like military generals, architects, and stock brokers generally pay higher average rates due to high stress levels and lengthy work days. On the other hand, professions such as professors, engineers and homemakers get better rates.
• Traffic violations hurt – Attentive drivers pay less for auto insurance as compared to those with violations. Just one chargeable violation can boost insurance rates by twenty percent. Drivers with license-revoking citations like reckless driving, hit and run or driving under the influence may find they need to prove financial responsibility with their state’s licensing department in order to continue driving.
• Long commutes cost more – The more you drive your Fiat annually the more you’ll pay to insure your vehicle. Almost all companies apply a rate partially by how you use the vehicle. Vehicles not used for work or commuting get more affordable rates than vehicles that have high annual mileage. Double check that your vehicle rating reflects annual mileage, because it can save money. Having the wrong rating on your 500 may be wasting your money.
• Always keep your auto insurance policy in force – Allowing your auto insurance policy to lapse can be a fast way to pay more for auto insurance. Not only will you pay higher rates, not being able to provide proof of insurance could result in a fine, jail time, or a revoked license. You could then be forced to provide proof of insurance in the form of an SR-22 filing with the Arizona motor vehicle department to get your license reinstated.

• Loss statistics for a Fiat 500 – Auto insurance companies include the past claim history for a vehicle to help calculate premium prices. Models that the data determines to have higher number or severity of losses will have a higher cost to insure.

  The table below shows the historical loss data for Fiat 500 vehicles. For each policy coverage type, the loss probability for all vehicles combined as an average is considered to be 100. Numbers that are below 100 suggest a positive loss record, while values over 100 point to more claims or statistically larger losses.

Three main reasons to buy insurance

Despite the fact that insurance is not cheap in Chandler, buying insurance serves a purpose in several ways.

• The majority of states have compulsory liability insurance requirements which means state laws require a specific level of liability protection in order to be legal. In Arizona these limits are 15/30/10 which means you must have $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $10,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you bought your Fiat with a loan, almost every bank will require you to have full coverage to protect their interest in the vehicle. If coverage lapses or is canceled, the bank may insure your Fiat at a much higher premium rate and require you to fork over for the much more expensive policy.
• Insurance protects both your vehicle and your assets. It will also provide coverage for many types of medical costs for you, any passengers, and anyone injured in an accident. As part of your policy, liability insurance also pays expenses related to your legal defense if you are sued as the result of your driving. If mother nature or an accident damages your car, comprehensive (other-than-collision) and collision coverage will pay all costs to repair after the deductible has been paid.

The benefits of insuring your 500 are definitely more than the cost, especially with large liability claims. On average, a vehicle owner in Chandler is overpaying more than $700 annually so you should quote and compare rates at least once a year to be sure current rates are still competitive.

Cheaper Fiat 500 insurance rates in Chandler

Some companies don’t always publicize all discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we break down both the well known and also the more inconspicuous credits that may apply to you.

• Air Bag Discount – Factory options such as air bags may earn rate discounts of 20 to 30 percent.
• Discount for Life Insurance – Car insurance companies who offer life insurance give a small discount if you purchase life insurance from them.
• Chandler Homeowners Discount – Being a homeowner can save a few bucks because maintaining a house requires personal responsibility.
• First Accident Forgiveness – This isn’t a discount exactly, but a handful of insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before your rates go up if you have no claims for a certain period of time.
• Policy Bundle Discount – If you can bundle your auto and home insurance and insure them both with the same insurance company you could earn a discount of over 10 percent off each policy depending on the company.
• Payment Method – By paying your entire bill at once instead of paying each month you could save up to 5%.

Please keep in mind that most discounts do not apply to the whole policy. The majority will only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though it sounds like it’s possible to get free car insurance, companies don’t profit that way.
