Important Questions to Ask
When shopping for car insurance, it’s easy to begin and end your comparisons with price. But there’s a lot more to it than that. Your car is one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make – and insuring it is equally important. Be sure you know all the facts.
When you compare auto insurance, here are some key factors to consider:
Purchase your insurance from a reputable company
You can find dozens of cheap insurance companies online, but you need to do a little research to make sure the companies are legitimate before you buy. Nationwide Insurance® has more than 80 years of experience serving insurance customers. Our superior Nationwide On Your Side® Claims Service will be there for you when you’ve been in an accident.
Take advantage of every available discount
Price is a major factor when you compare car insurance options. But are you comparing apples to apples? When you compare prices, be sure you understand exactly what you’re getting – and if you’ve taken advantage of every discount available. Nationwide offers hundreds of ways to save on your auto insurance, from Good Student discounts to defensive driving programs and multi-policy discounts.
Ask if higher deductibles can lower your payments
Deductibles – the amount you pay when you submit an auto insurance claim – can vary depending on the type of policy you pick. Be sure to ask about your choices. Higher deductibles can help lower your insurance payments. To help you save even more, Nationwide offers Vanishing DeductibleSM, a program where your deductible drops $100 for each year of safe driving. These are important details as you compare car insurance.
Look for flexible coverage options
The car you choose, and the way you use it, has a big impact on the coverages you need. Make sure your insurance company allows you to customize coverage that’s right for your needs and your budget. The right policy can cover you in worst-case scenarios and help you pay for medical expenses, loss of income and other situations. The more choices you have, the better.
Don’t accept poor customer service
Get the help you need when it counts. Is Roadside Assistance available to you? Can your claim be filed at any time, online or over the phone? When a repair is necessary, will this company help you choose a top-rated shop? Will your claim be processed quickly? These are all questions you should ask as you compare auto insurance.
Read what others are saying
Your insurance company should offer customer reviews of its services. At Nationwide Insurance, we are proud that most of our customers would recommend us to a friend.
