To get the cheapest car insurance quote for an SUV and a full-sized van, you have to give out vehicle details for both cars. The vehicle details would be the basis for how the cars will be classified. I know it seems unnecessary to classify them since your car dealer has already verified the type, and also with the cars’ previous insurance. However, as you will soon see, there is no one standard in classification in the car insurance business. Each company has its own way of looking at things, so just to be on the safe side, and make sure to have things prepared.
Another way for you to get the cheapest car insurance quote is by pointing out the purpose and use of the vehicles. How you will be using your cars and for how long would definitely affect the actual rates you get for insuring them. If you will be using your car to commute, like driving to work, schools, etc. and you will be doing it every day, then your car insurance would be higher. Commute vehicles commonly meet accidents on the road. Though the main purpose of getting cars is, of course, to get around, car insurance companies would see it in terms of how more likely you will meet accidents on the road, or better yet, how safely you get around. But do not fret. If you list two or more cars on your plan, you should qualify for discounts for it.

An SR22 insurance is something you didn’t voluntarily buy. I wouldn’t necessarily call something I was forced to purchase ‘cheap.’ But there are car insurance companies out there that can offer you comparatively cheap SR22 insurance. Your car insurance company files this form to the local DMV office in your state, and this usually follows after you’ve committed a serious offense or conviction. This was most likely ordered by a municipal court or by the DMV. Some offenses and a conviction usually lead to a suspension of your driver’s license or car registration; sometimes they even impound your car. In order to get any of that back, filing the form is required. How much you might have to pay may depend on how bad your offense was.
The lighter types can probably get you relatively cheap SR22 auto insurance. If you happen to be arrested for drunk driving, that will automatically put you in the high risk category of drivers and you can kiss any likelihood of getting cheap SR22 insurance goodbye. Some companies, however, are better at offering this kind of insurance than others. So having one that specializes on it as your provider may also give you a chance to obtain reasonably cheap SR22 insurance.
