I do, of course, understand that this is a grossly over simplified view of things. What we actually hand over our cash for is the peace of mind that it brings – knowledge hat if things do go horribly wrong then we will, at least financially, be in a reasonable position.

So we’re in the position of needing to buy some insurance, either soley for our own reassurance or because the government has required it. I’m thinking of such things as motor insurance here. How do we go about making sure we get the policy that’s right for our needs at the best price?

Nobody likes to think about comparing insurance quotes. Many people find it too big of a hassle and don’t even bother to try. Others will just sign up through whatever provider their family has even if they aren’t getting the best deal possible.

The problem with this approach is that you could be getting a very high rate compared to other insurance companies. The important thing that you must remember is that it’s possible to save a lot of money just by getting different insurance quotes. There are many different types of insurance and each one depends on its own factors. There are also certain numbers that you’ll want to watch out for when comparing insurances.

Car insurance is probably the first type of insurance that you’ll have to get. When you’re comparing car insurance you’ll have to decide if your vehicle is worth getting full coverage on or just collision. If you’re car is older than 6 years then you’ll most likely be looking at getting just collision. Also it’s important to note the amount of coverage that you’re getting. Some insurance companies may give you better rates but you’ll be knocked down to a lower tier of coverage. You’ll want to get the $100,000/$200,000 coverage in most cases however if your car is older and you have no assets then you may opt for the $50,000/$100,000 coverage line.

Renter’s insurance will be the second type of insurance you encounter. While renter’s insurance isn’t mandatory it can be a life saver if something happens. In most cases renter’s insurance can be found for about $100 a year and they will give you $13,000 if something such as a fire happens. If you’re paying more than $100 a year for renter’s insurance you should shop around for a better deal. Likewise if you have more than $13,000 in items then you may want to opt for a higher tier of coverage.

Health insurance is probably the most confusing of all insurances. There are many different types of plans and some are combined with each other. For the majority of cases you can get an 80/20 plan or a plan that pays 100% after a certain deductible. An 80/20 plan lets you pay 20% of all of your medical bills, but this can still be thousands if you have to have a surgery. If you choose to use a deductible you have to pay up to a certain amount and then the insurance company will pay the rest.

The normal for most people is an 80/20 plan where you only pay 20% of the cost of your medical bills. However this plan can still become expensive if you have to have surgery. In other cases you can get 100% coverage after a certain deductable. That is where you’ll pay the first $1200 in bills and then after that the insurance company pays for everything. While many people go through their work to get health insurance it’s sometimes more cost effective to find private health insurance.

Driving without insurance, in most states, is sure to land you in a world of trouble. Not only can you get a costly ticket, but your license can be suspended, as well.
