Later in this article we will cover ideas to help find cheaper rates and get discounts that may be overlooked.

Step 2: Request price quotes from direct, independent, and exclusive agents. Exclusive agents and direct companies can provide rates from one company like Progressive and State Farm, while independent agents can give you price quotes from many different companies. View rates

Step 3: Compare the new rates to your existing policy to determine if you can save on Sienna insurance in Madison. If you find a better price and switch companies, make sure there is no lapse between the expiration of your current policy and the new one.

A tip to remember is that you’ll want to make sure you compare the same amount of coverage on every quote and to quote with as many companies as you can. This enables an accurate price comparison and the best price selection.

Don’t overlook these Toyota Sienna insurance discounts

Insurance is not cheap nor is it fun to buy but there are discounts available that many consumers don’t even know exist. Most are applied when you complete an application, but less common discounts must be asked about prior to receiving the credit. If you aren’t receiving every discount available, you are paying more than you should be.

• Fewer Miles Equal More Savings – Low mileage vehicles may allow you to get lower insurance rates due to less chance of an accident.
• Claim-Free Discount – Insureds who avoid accidents and claims can save substantially in comparison with drivers with a long claim history.
• Savings for New Vehicles – Putting insurance coverage on a new Sienna can cost up to 25% less compared to insuring an older model.
• Safety Restraint Discount – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to use their safety belts can save up to 10 percent (depending on the company) off the PIP or medical payment premium.
• Military Discounts – Having a deployed family member can result in better insurance rates.
• Anti-theft System – Cars, trucks, and SUVs optioned with advanced anti-theft systems are less likely to be stolen and will save you 10% or more on Sienna insurance in Madison.
• Home Ownership Discount – Owning a house in Madison can help you save on insurance due to the fact that maintaining a home requires a higher level of personal finance.
• Good Drivers – Insureds without accidents could pay up to 40% less compared to rates paid by drivers with frequent claims.
• Senior Citizen Rates – Older drivers may be able to get a small discount on rates.
• Payment Discounts – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time instead of paying each month you can avoid monthly service charges.

You can save money using discounts, but some of the credits will not apply to the entire cost. Most only cut specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. Just because it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, insurance companies aren’t that generous.

The illustration below shows the comparison of Toyota Sienna auto insurance rates with and without discounts applied to the premium. The rate quotes are based on a male driver, no claims or violations, Wisconsin state minimum liability limits, full coverage, and $100 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with multi-policy, marriage, safe-driver, homeowner, multi-car, and claim-free discounts applied.

Rates and other information

The coverage table displayed next outlines detailed analysis of coverage prices for Toyota Sienna models. Having a better idea how insurance policy premiums are figured is important for making smart choices when buying a policy.

Data based on married male driver age 50, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $100 deductibles, and Wisconsin minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-vehicle, safe-driver, claim-free, multi-policy, and homeowner. Rate information does not factor in specific location which can change auto insurance rates greatly.

Do you need full coverage?

The illustration below shows the comparison of Toyota Sienna auto insurance costs with full coverage and liability only. The rates are based on a clean driving record, no at-fault accidents, $500 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

When to stop buying comprehensive and collision coverage

There is no written rule of when to stop paying for full coverage, but there is a guideline you can consider. If the annual cost of having full coverage is 10% or more of the settlement you would receive from your company, then you may need to consider dropping full coverage.

For example, let’s pretend your Toyota Sienna book value is $9,000 and you have $1,000 deductibles. If your vehicle is damaged in an accident, the most you would get paid by your company is $8,000 after the policy deductible has been paid. If premiums are more than $800 a year for physical damage coverage, then it might be time to consider dropping full coverage.

There are some circumstances where eliminating full coverage is not recommended. If you have an outstanding loan on your vehicle, you have to keep full coverage to protect the lienholder’s interest in the vehicle. Also, if your finances do not allow you to purchase a different vehicle in case of an accident, you should keep full coverage.

Learn How to Find Car Insurance Cheaper

An important part of buying insurance is that you know the rating factors that aid in calculating the level of your policy premiums. If you have a feel for what positively or negatively impacts your premiums, this enables informed choices that can help you get lower car insurance prices.

• Driving citations increase rates – Careful drivers get better rates than people who have multiple driving citations. Even one ticket may increase your cost by twenty percent. Drivers who get serious violations like reckless driving or DUI may need to submit a SR-22 or proof of financial responsibility with their state DMV in order to keep their license.

  The diagram below demonstrates how speeding tickets and at-fault claims can drive up Toyota Sienna auto insurance rates for different ages of insureds. The premiums are based on a married female driver, full physical damage coverage, $500 deductibles, and no additional discounts are factored in.

• Cheaper rates with high coverage deductibles – Comprehensive and collision coverage deductibles state the amount of money you are required to spend out-of-pocket if a claim is determined to be covered. Physical damage insurance, also called ‘full coverage’, covers damage that occurs to your car. Some examples of claims that would be covered would be collision with another vehicle, hail damage, and having a roll-over accident. The more of the claim the insured has to pay upfront, the less money you will pay for car insurance.
• Small coverages can add up – Policies have extra coverages that may not really be needed when buying car insurance. Insurance for rental car reimbursement, towing coverage, and extra equipment coverage are probably not needed. The coverages may be enticing when buying your policy, but if you’ve never needed them in the past remove them from your policy.

• Teenagers are high risk – Older insureds are proven to be safer behind the wheel, are lower risk to insure, and tend to be get fewer driving tickets. Inexperience drivers are statistically proven to be easily distracted in a vehicle so car insurance rates are higher.

  The chart below assumes a single driver, full coverage with $250 deductibles, and no discounts or violations.

• Where you live is a factor – Being located in a small town can save you money when trying to find low car insurance rates. Drivers who live in large cities have more aggressive driving styles and a longer drive to work. Fewer drivers corresponds to lower accident rates in addition to fewer liability claims.
• Get married and pay lower costs – Walking down the aisle can get you a discount on your car insurance bill. Having a significant other generally demonstrates drivers are more responsible and statistics show married couples file fewer claims.
• Always keep your car insurance policy in place – Driving your car without having proper coverage is illegal and as a result your rates will increase for letting your coverage lapse. Not only will you pay higher rates, being ticketed for driving with no insurance can result in a fine, jail time, or a revoked license. You may then be required to submit proof of financial responsibility or a SR-22 with the Wisconsin motor vehicle department to get your license reinstated.
• High credit means lower rates – Having a bad credit rating factor in determining what you pay for car insurance. Insureds that have high credit ratings tend to be better risks to insure than those with poor credit scores. If your credit score can use some improvement, you could potentially save money when insuring your Toyota Sienna if you clean up your credit.

• Insurance loss data for Toyota Sienna vehicles – Insurance companies analyze past claim statistics as a way to help calculate a profitable premium rate. Vehicles that the data shows to have higher prevalence or dollar amount of losses will cost more for coverage. The information below illustrates the compiled insurance loss statistics for Toyota Sienna vehicles.

  For each insurance policy coverage type, the claim probability for all vehicles, as a total average, is set at 100. Values that are 100 or less mean the vehicle has better than average losses, while percentage values above 100 indicate frequent claims or a tendency for claims to be larger.

Here’s why car insurance is not optional

Even though Madison Sienna insurance rates can get expensive, buying car insurance serves a purpose in several ways.

• Most states have minimum liability requirements which means the state requires a minimum amount of liability insurance coverage if you drive a vehicle. In Wisconsin these limits are 25/50/10 which means you must have $25,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $10,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you have a lien on your Toyota, almost every bank will force you to have insurance to ensure loan repayment if the vehicle is totaled. If you default on your policy, the lender will be forced to insure your Toyota at a significantly higher premium and force you to reimburse them much more than you were paying before.
• Insurance protects not only your Toyota Sienna but also your assets. It will also pay for medical bills that are the result of an accident. Liability coverage, the one required by state law, also pays for attorney fees and expenses if you are sued as the result of your driving. If your Toyota gets damaged, comprehensive (other-than-collision) and collision coverage will cover the damage repairs after a deductible is paid.

The benefits of buying enough insurance more than offset the price you pay, especially with large liability claims. Unknowingly, the average driver overpays more than $825 a year so we recommend shopping around at least once a year to make sure the price is not too high.
