Verify you’re applying every discount

Some insurance providers don’t always publicize all possible discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so below is a list some of the best known and also the more inconspicuous insurance savings. If they aren’t giving you every credit possible, you may be paying too high a price.

Telematics Data Discounts – Policyholders that allow their company to scrutinize driving patterns by installing a telematics device like Drivewise from Allstate or In-Drive from State Farm might get better premium rates as long as they are good drivers.
Anti-theft Discount – Cars, trucks, and SUVs that have factory anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently so companies will give you a small discount.
Senior Discount – Older drivers can get a slight reduction on a auto insurance quote for S-15 Jimmy insurance.
Pay Now and Pay Less – If you can afford to pay the entire bill rather than paying in monthly installments you can actually save on your bill.
College Student Discount – College-age children who live away from home at college and do not have access to a covered vehicle could get you a discount.
E-sign – Some companies will give a small break for buying your policy on the internet.

You should keep in mind that most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. Even though it may seem like you can get free auto insurance, it’s just not the way it works.

A few popular companies and some of the discounts are included below.

State Farm may include discounts for Drive Safe & Save, safe vehicle, multiple policy, defensive driving training, passive restraint, good driver, and student away at school.
Esurance offers discounts for paid-in-full, good student, homeowner, online shopper, anti-theft, Switch & Save, and emergency road assistance.
Progressive has savings for continuous coverage, multi-vehicle, online signing, good student, online quote discount, and multi-policy.
Liberty Mutual may offer discounts for multi-policy, multi-car, new move discount, hybrid vehicle, preferred payment discount, and newly retired.
Auto-Owners Insurance may have discounts that include multiple vehicles, student away at school, group or association, anti-lock brakes, multi-policy, and air bags.
GEICO has discounts for daytime running lights, military active duty, anti-theft, air bags, federal employee, emergency military deployment, and seat belt use.

If you need cheaper auto insurance quotes, ask every company how many discounts you can get. Some of the earlier mentioned discounts might not be offered in your area.

When should I discuss my situation with an agent?

When choosing proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions can aid in determining if your insurance needs may require specific advice.

What is PIP insurance?
Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
Are rock chip repairs covered?
How does medical payments coverage work?
Should I rate my 1995 GMC S-15 Jimmy as pleasure use or commute?
Do I need an umbrella policy?
Is my trailer covered?
Is business property covered if stolen from my car?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies. It is quick, free and may give you better protection.

Car insurance coverages 101

Learning about specific coverages of your car insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the usual coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like pain medications, surgery, dental work, ambulance fees and EMT expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability insurance

This will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for things like attorney fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, funeral expenses and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your S-15 Jimmy caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a ditch and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Power to the consumer

Some companies may not offer rates over the internet regional carriers work with independent agents. Affordable 1995 GMC S-15 Jimmy insurance can be sourced from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best selection.

As you shop your coverage around, make sure you don’t skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There have been many situations where an accident victim reduced physical damage coverage only to discover later that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The goal is to get the best coverage possible at an affordable rate but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
