How to get the best car insurance in Maine
Follow these tips to find the best car insurance in Maine:
- Determine your coverage needs. Each person has a unique financial situation, so determine how much car insurance you need to protect your wallet. For example, full coverage pays for damage to your own car, up to its market value. If you drive a new vehicle, you probably need full coverage. If you lease or finance your vehicle, the lender will require full coverage. You may also need gap insurance, which can help you pay off your loan if your car is totaled.
- Research insurance companies. Sites like Jerry collect customer reviews and formally review insurers so that you can check their reputations and know what to expect before buying a policy.
- Compare quotes. Once you’ve narrowed your search to a few companies, get quotes from all of them, and be sure you use the same coverage limits when shopping. This will show you which insurer offers the cheapest car insurance for the coverage you need.
