The one disadvantage to pricing coverage this way is you are unable to specify the providers you want pricing from. If you would rather choose individual companies to compare, we put together a list of companies who write car insurance in New Jersey. Click to view list.

It doesn't matter which method you choose, just make absolute certain that you use identical quote information with every price quote. If you use mixed coverages you can't possibly find the best deal in Oak Ridge. Just a small difference in coverages could mean much higher rates. And when quoting car insurance, remember that having more price comparisons helps locate the best offered rates.

Don't pay full price with these discounts

Car insurance companies don't always advertise all their discounts very clearly, so the following is a list of both the well known and also the lesser-known car insurance savings.

  • Accident Forgiveness - Certain companies allow you one accident before raising your premiums as long as you don't have any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Anti-theft System - Anti-theft and alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Sign Online - Some insurance companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy over the internet.
  • Senior Citizens - Mature drivers may be able to get a discount up to 10%.
  • Driver Safety - Taking a defensive driving course can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can reduce accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.

A little note about advertised discounts, most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. Just because you may think you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you won't be that lucky.

Your personal situation dictates your coverage

When choosing coverage for your vehicles, there isn't really a perfect coverage plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else's.

  • Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?

  • Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • Are there companies who specialize in insuring high-risk drivers?
  • Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
