Find discounts to get cheap insurance rates

Some providers do not advertise every policy discount very clearly, so here is a list both well-publicized and the more hidden discounts that you may qualify for.

  • Discounts for New Vehicles – Buying a new car instead of a used car can save you some money since newer vehicles have better safety ratings.
  • Discounts for Multiple Vehicles – Purchasing coverage when you have multiple vehicles on one policy can reduce rates for all insured vehicles.
  • Braking Control Discount – Vehicles that have anti-lock braking systems can stop better under adverse conditions and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Driving Data Discount – Drivers who agree to allow data collection to study driving habits by using a telematics device in their vehicle such as Progressive’s Snapshot could possibly reduce rates if their driving habits are good.
  • Military Deployment Discount – Being deployed with a military unit may lower your prices slightly.
  • Sign Early and Save – Some companies give discounts for switching to them before your current policy expires. This discount can save up to 10%.

Don’t be surprised that most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. Even though it appears you would end up receiving a 100% discount, insurance companies aren’t that generous. But all discounts should help lower your overall premium however.

A list of insurance companies and their possible discounts are shown below.

  • State Farm has savings for anti-theft, good driver, passive restraint, student away at school, Drive Safe & Save, and accident-free.
  • American Family offers discounts including good student, TimeAway discount, defensive driver, early bird, and accident-free.
  • GEICO offers premium reductions for anti-lock brakes, multi-vehicle, daytime running lights, five-year accident-free, multi-policy, driver training, and seat belt use.
  • 21st Century has discounts for homeowners, student driver, anti-lock brakes, teen driver, 55 and older, defensive driver, and early bird.
  • Progressive may include discounts for continuous coverage, homeowner, multi-policy, good student, multi-vehicle, online quote discount, and online signing.

If you want inexpensive car insurance quotes, ask each insurance company to give you their best rates. Some of the discounts discussed earlier might not apply in your area.

  • Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
  • Can I afford low physical damage deductibles?
  • Am I covered if I break a side mirror?
  • Am I covered when driving a rental car?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.

Coverages available on your auto insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of auto insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird, theft, hitting a deer and vandalism. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto liability insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability coverage pays for things such as pain and suffering, medical expenses and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims like driving through your garage door, rolling your car and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Acura Legend.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like X-ray expenses, pain medications and chiropractic care. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
