How-to Guide for Purchasing Insurance for a Volkswagen Fox
Did you fall for a flashy sales pitch and buy an overpriced car insurance policy? Trust us, you’re not the only one. Consumers have many car insurance companies to choose from, and though it is a good thing to have a selection, too many choices makes it more difficult to find the best rates for your vehicles.
How to Get Cheap Car Insurance in Nevada
Shopping for lower car insurance rates can be a daunting task if you don’t utilize the fastest way to get free quotes. You can waste a lot of time talking about coverages with agents in your area, or you could save time and use the web to maximize your effort.
Most of the best insurance companies belong to a marketplace that enables customers to enter their coverage request one time, and each company returns a competitive quote based on that information. This eliminates the need for quote forms for each company you want a rate for.

The only drawback to using this type of system is you cannot specify which carriers you want pricing from. So if you prefer to choose individual companies to compare, we have assembled a list of the cheapest car insurance companies in Nevada. Click here to view list.
Which method you use is up to you, but be sure to compare the exact same coverages and limits with every price quote. If the quotes have different values for each quote you can’t possibly decipher which rate is best.
Online quotes with a local Nevada insurance agent
Some people would rather sit down with an agent and there is nothing wrong with that. Professional agents are trained to spot inefficiencies and help you file claims. One of the best bonuses of getting online price quotes is the fact that you can find the lowest rates but also keep your business local.
Once you complete this simple form, your insurance coverage information is immediately sent to companies who will compete for your business. There is no reason to visit any agencies as quotes are delivered to your email. It doesn’t get any easier!
Selecting an insurer should depend on more than just the bottom line cost. Some important questions to ask are:
- Does the agency have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau?
- Do the companies they represent have a solid financial rating?
- Do they have adequate Errors and Ommissions coverage? This protects you if they make a mistake.
- Are claims handled at the agent’s location?
- Do they regularly work with personal auto policies?
- Which company do they place the most coverage with?
Captive and independent Nevada insurance agencies
If you’re trying to find a good insurance agency, there are two types of insurance agents to choose from. Insurance agencies in Nevada can either be captive or independent (non-captive). While both can insure your vehicles, but it’s important to know how they differ since it can impact the selection process.
Captive Agents
Captive agencies can only write with one company such as AAA, Allstate and State Farm. They generally cannot shop your coverage around so keep that in mind. These agents are well schooled on their company’s products which helps them compete with independent agents.
Independent Insurance Agents
Independent agents are not employed by any specific company but instead can place your coverage with many different companies enabling the ability to shop coverage around. To transfer your coverage to a different company, your agent can switch companies and that require little work on your part. When searching for an agent, we recommend you get quotes from several independent insurance agents to get the best comparison.
