How to Lower Your Car Insurance Cost in Nevada
Most major insurance companies provide coverage prices online. Getting online quotes is fairly simple as you simply enter your personal and coverage information as requested by the quote form. When the form is submitted, the company’s rating system pulls information on your driving record and credit history and quotes a price.
Online price quotes makes comparing rates easy, but the time required to go to multiple sites and enter the same data into a form can be a bit tiresome and repetitive. But it is imperative to have as many quotes as possible if you want to find a better rate.
The preferred way to lower your car insurance bill makes use of a single form that analyzes rates from multiple companies. This type of form saves time, eliminates form submissions, and makes online quotes much easier. After sending the form, your coverage is rated and you can select any of the quotes that you receive.
If you find a better price you can simply submit the application and buy the new coverage. It can be completed in less than 10 minutes and could lower your rates considerably.

Cut your car insurance rates with these eight discounts
Car insurance can cost a lot, but you may find discounts to help bring down the price. Certain discounts will be applied at quote time, but less common discounts must be specially asked for before you will receive the discount.
- Drivers Education – Require your teen driver to enroll in driver’s education if it’s offered in school.
- No Charge for an Accident – A handful of insurance companies allow you one accident before raising your premiums if you are claim-free for a particular time prior to the accident.
- Anti-theft Discount – Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems can help prevent theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
- Early Switch Discount – Some companies give discounts for switching to them prior to your current policy expiring. It’s a savings of about 10%.
- Homeowners Savings – Owning a house may earn you a small savings due to the fact that maintaining a home shows financial diligence.
- Discounts for Safe Drivers – Drivers who avoid accidents may save up to 50% more for C43 AMG insurance than their less cautious counterparts.
- Multiple Policy Discount – When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same company you will save 10% to 20% off each policy.
- Pay Upfront and Save – By paying your policy upfront rather than paying monthly you can actually save on your bill.
As a disclaimer on discounts, most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like collision or personal injury protection. Just because you may think you can get free auto insurance, it doesn’t quite work that way. But any discount will reduce your premiums.

You are unique and your car insurance should be too
When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is a little different.
These are some specific questions may help highlight whether you might need professional guidance.
- Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?
- Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
- Is pleasure use cheaper than using my Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG to commute?
- Are my tools covered if they get stolen from my vehicle?
- Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in Nevada?
- Should I buy only the required Nevada minimum liability coverage?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form.
Coverage specifics
Learning about specific coverages of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Insurance for medical payments
Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for doctor visits, funeral costs, prosthetic devices, hospital visits and surgery. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed, fire damage, falling objects and rock chips in glass. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG.
Since many Nevada drivers have only the minimum liability required by law (which is 15/30/10), it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Auto collision coverage
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a building, sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Auto liability
This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show values of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability insurance covers claims such as legal defense fees, medical services, funeral expenses, pain and suffering and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford. Nevada state minimum liability requirements are 15,000/30,000/10,000 but drivers should carry more liability than the minimum.
