Why Smart Buyers Pay Less for Hummer H2 SUT Insurance

Multiple criteria are used in the calculation when you get a price on insurance. Most are fairly basic such as your driving record, but others are not as apparent like where you live or your commute time.

The list below includes just a few of the factors used by companies to determine premiums.

  • Incidental coverages may be wasting money - Insurance policies have a lot of extra coverages that can add up on your H2 SUT policy. Coverages for rental car coverage, high-cost glass coverage, and extra equipment coverage may be costing you every month. The coverages may be enticing when talking to your agent, but your money might be better spent on other coverage so consider taking them off your policy.
  • Your liability insurance limits - The liability coverage on your policy will provide protection in the event that you are responsible for causing personal injury or damage in an accident. Your liability coverage provides you with a defense in court up to the limits shown on your policy. Liability insurance is quite affordable compared to comp and collision, so do not cut corners here.
  • Improve your credit score and save - Having a bad credit rating can be a huge factor in determining what you pay. People with high credit ratings tend to be less risk to insure than drivers with worse credit. So if your credit leaves room for improvement, you could be paying less to insure your Hummer H2 SUT by spending a little time repairing your credit.
  • Annual miles is a factor - The more you drive your Hummer in a year the more you'll pay to insure it. Most companies calculate prices based upon how much you drive. Cars left parked in the garage can get a lower rate than those used for commuting. An improperly rated H2 SUT may be costing you. Make sure your insurance policy reflects how each vehicle is driven.
  • Marriage equates to better costs - Having a spouse can actually save you money compared to being single. Having a spouse means you're more mature than a single person and it's statistically proven that drivers who are married are more cautious.
  • GPS tracking and theft deterrents reduce premiums - Selecting a car model with an alarm system can help lower your rates. Anti-theft features like vehicle immobilizer systems, OnStar, and tracking devices like LoJack can help prevent vehicle theft.
  • Gaps in coverage mean higher rates - Letting your insurance expire can be a quick way to trigger a rate increase. Not only will rates go up, getting caught without coverage might get you fines or a revoked license.
  • High comp and collision deductibles equal low rates - Physical damage coverage, otherwise known as comp (or other than collision) and collision, is used to repair damage to your Hummer. Some examples of covered claims could be colliding with a building, collision with an animal, and having your car stolen. Comprehensive and collision coverage deductibles define how much you are required to spend out-of-pocket in the event of a claim. The more money you are required to pay out-of-pocket, the less your insurance will be.
