Here\u2019s what to gather for an accurate quote, and how to make the process as quick and easy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:45px;\">The importance of accuracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to provide accurate information to the insurance agent or company to ensure your quote is correct and to avoid potential issues that can arise later. For example, failure to provide accurate information could result in cancellation of your policy or denial of claims.&nbsp;It could also result in you not having the coverage that you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:45px;\">Information I need to know about my car for insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When getting a car insurance quote, you\u2019ll need to provide personal details about yourself and your car. Before you get your quote, have the following information handy. If you already have an insurance policy, most of this information can be found on your policy\u2019s declaration page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>Personal information<\/strong> <ul style=\"list-style-type: padding-left:10px;\"><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Legal name<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Legal names and driver\u2019s license numbers of household family members <\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\"> Legal names and driver\u2019s license numbers of those who drive your car regularly<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Home address<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Driving history<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Email address<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Phone number<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:0px;\"><strong>Vehicle information<\/strong><\/p> <ul style=\"list-style-type: padding-left:10px; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:20px;\"><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Year, make and model<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Garaging address<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Ownership Length<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Title status<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Lienholder (if any)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Odometer mileage<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Estimated annual miles driven<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021; padding-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"color:#000; display:block;\">Safety features and anti-theft devices<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to your personal and vehicle information, it\u2019s also good to do some research on the insurance companies you\u2019re getting quotes from. Make sure the companies have strong financial stability and good reputations for customer service. Plymouth Rock is one of those companies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:45px;\">Do I need to provide a VIN to get car insurance? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, is a unique number that identifies an individual car. The VIN number can be used to trace the year, make and model of a car, as well as other information like paint and optional factory accessories. The VIN is also used to track ownership and accident history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not need to provide the VIN to get a car insurance quote, but it can save you some time inputting vehicle information and allow you to see more accurate pricing. For example, if you quote with just the vehicle\u2019s basic information, your quote may not reflect the true value and safety features of your individual car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A VIN is not always required when quoting, but is typically needed when it\u2019s time to purchase the policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:45px;\">Understanding the basics of car insurance coverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s important to have information about you and your car for your insurance quote, it\u2019s equally important to understand the insurance policy itself. When getting a car insurance quote, you will also be asked to decide on coverages, limits and deductibles for your policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An insurance policy is made of several different coverages that pay in different situations. Limits are the maximum amount of money an insurer will pay up to in the event of a claim. A <a href=\"\/resources\/what-is-a-deductible-in-car-insurance\">deductible is what you pay<\/a> before your insurance company will start providing coverage for expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each state has their own minimum insurance requirements, and if an insurance company sells a policy to you it must include at least the state-mandated coverages and limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical car insurance policy covers bodily injury liability and property damage liability. In some states they must also provide personal injury protection (PIP) for medical and related expenses.&nbsp;Coverages for <a href=\"\/resources\/how-to-get-insurance-to-pay-for-car-repairs\">damage to your own vehicle<\/a> are typically optional but are recommended. In some states, additional optional medical expense coverage is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border:1px solid #0092D2; margin-bottom:15px; margin-top:15px;\"><table style=\"margin-bottom:0px;\"><tr><td style=\" \n background-color:#0092D2; border-color:#ffffff; color:#fff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: center; width:50%;\"><strong>Types of insurance coverage<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n\n<tr><td style=\"background-color:#fff; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: center;\">Medical expense coverage\n<\/td><\/tr>\n\n<tr><td style=\"background-color:#e5f2fb; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: center;\">Bodily injury liability coverage\n<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td style=\"background-color:#fff; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: center;\">Property damage liability coverage\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#e5f2fb; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: center;\">Uninsured\/underinsured motorist coverage\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#fff; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: center;\">Collision coverage\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#e5f2fb; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: center;\">Comprehensive coverage\n<\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical expense coverage can help pay for your medical expenses after an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bodily injury liability pays for injuries you\u2019re liable for causing to someone else in a car accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Property damage liability helps reimburse another person for their property you are liable for damaging in an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage helps pay for medical expenses when you are injured by another driver who doesn\u2019t have insurance (uninsured) or one who doesn\u2019t have enough coverage for the injuries they caused (underinsured). This coverage may also pay for injuries from a hit-and-run accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collision coverage helps pay for the cost to repair or replace your car after it hits another car or object, is hit by another car, or if it rolls over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comprehensive coverage helps pay for physical damage to your own vehicle not related to a collision. This includes things like fire, theft, vandalism and natural disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:45px;\">Car insurance policy essentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have your new car insurance policy, be sure to keep the following information in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Policy dates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re <a href=\"\/resources\/how-to-switch-car-insurance-companies\">switching insurance providers<\/a>, it\u2019s a smart idea to have your new policy start before your current one ends. Gaps in coverage can make buying insurance more costly in the future. With that in mind, stay on top of your insurance\u2019s renewal date with automatic billing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Insurance cards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In most states, you are required to carry proof of insurance when you drive. Some states allow electronic proof of insurance produced on your mobile phone, but it&#8217;s always a good idea to have the physical card inside your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Coverage details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also smart to know what coverages your policy contains and what limits and deductibles you carry. Ensure your coverage limits are what you need to best protect you and your car. Being informed means you don\u2019t have to second guess if you\u2019re covered in an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:45px;\">Important auto insurance documents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you purchase a car insurance policy, you will receive several important policy documents. These include your policy contract, declarations page and insurance card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Policy contract<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The policy is the binding contract between you and the insurance company. It details all of the terms, conditions, and exclusions applicable to the coverages you bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Declarations page<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This document is a summary of your insurance policy. It contains details like coverage types, limits, deductibles, premium costs, endorsements, effective dates, covered operators and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Insurance card<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The insurance card is your proof of insurance. Keep this card handy to produce, as law enforcement will ask for it if you are stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:45px;\">Ready to get a car insurance quote?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have information about yourself and your vehicle handy while you\u2019re getting a quote to get the most accurate pricing. It\u2019s also a smart idea to research the insurance company you\u2019re quoting with and what coverages you need.
