Insurance Coverage Discounts

Companies don’t list every available discount in a way that’s easy to find, so the next list breaks down some of the best known as well as the least known savings tricks you should be using when you buy insurance online.

  • Anti-lock Brake System – Cars with ABS and/or traction control can reduce accidents and will save you 10% or more.
  • Discounts for Seat Belt Usage – Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts can save up to 10 percent (depending on the company) on the medical payments or PIP coverage costs.
  • Discounts for Federal Employees – Employees or retirees of the government may qualify for a discount when you quote insurance on RDX coverage depending on your insurance coverage provider.
  • Data Collection Discounts – Drivers who agree to allow driving data submission to track their driving habits through the use of a telematics system such as State Farm’s In-Drive could see a rate decrease as long as they are good drivers.
  • Save with More Vehicles Insured – Insuring multiple cars or trucks on one policy can reduce rates for all insured vehicles.
  • Early Renewal Discounts – Some larger companies provide a discount for signing up before your current policy expires. It’s a savings of about 10%.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. So even though they make it sound like all the discounts add up to a free policy, it just doesn’t work that way.

Companies and some of the premium reductions they offer are:

  • GEICO offers premium reductions for military active duty, anti-theft, multi-policy, seat belt use, driver training, daytime running lights, and membership and employees.
  • Travelers discounts include continuous insurance, multi-car, driver training, multi-policy, and new car.
  • Farm Bureau may include discounts for 55 and retired, renewal discount, multi-policy, driver training, good student, multi-vehicle, and youthful driver.
  • Liberty Mutual offers discounts for new vehicle discount, new graduate, good student, preferred payment discount, newly married, exclusive group savings, and safety features.
  • American Family may offer discounts for TimeAway discount, defensive driver, multi-vehicle, bundled insurance, air bags, early bird, and accident-free.
  • Progressive has savings for online quote discount, multi-vehicle, multi-policy, online signing, continuous coverage, and good student.

How to lower your insurance prices

Lots of factors are part of the calculation when you quote your car insurance policy. A few of the factors are predictable such as your driving record, but other factors are not as apparent like where you live or your commute time.The best way to find cheaper insurance coverage is to take a look at a few of the rating criteria that play a part in calculating insurance coverage rates. If you know what determines base rates, this enables you to make decisions that could help you find lower rates.

  • Cheaper rates for prior coverage – Having a gap between insurance policy dates can be a guaranteed way to increase your rates. Not only will you pay higher rates, getting caught without coverage may result in a hefty fine and possibly a revoked license. You may then have to prove you have insurance by filing a SR-22 with your state motor vehicle department to get your license reinstated.
  • Long commutes cost more – Driving more miles in a year’s time the higher your rate. A lot of companies calculate rates determined by how the vehicle is used. Autos used primarily for pleasure use qualify for better rates as compared to vehicles used primarily for driving to work. Improper usage on your RDX can cost quite a bit. It’s a good idea to make sure your vehicle rating properly reflects the correct usage for each vehicle, because it can save money.
  • More policies can equal more savings – Most major insurers will give discounts to buyers who carry more than one policy such as combining an auto and homeowners policy. Even with this discount, it’s in your best interest to get quotes from other companies to verify if the discount is saving money.
  • Traffic violations inflate costs – Whether or not you get tickets impacts your car insurance rates tremendously. Drivers who don’t get tickets have lower premiums compared to bad drivers. Only having one driving citation may cause rates to rise to the point where it’s not affordable. Drivers who have careless tickets like DUI, reckless driving or excessive speeding might be required by their state to file a SR-22 with their state DMV in order to prevent a license revocation.

Tailor your auto insurance coverage to you

When buying the best auto insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Every situation is different.

These are some specific questions could help you determine whether your personal situation might need an agent’s assistance.

  • Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
  • Do I need motorclub coverage?
  • What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
  • What discounts do I qualify for?
  • When should I drop full coverage on my 2007 Acura RDX?
  • When do I need to add a new car to my policy?
  • Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and may give you better protection.

Coverages available on your auto insurance policy

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Auto insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like falling objects, damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass, fire damage and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle 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 damage to your Acura RDX.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for liability

This provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against things like medical expenses, legal defense fees, bail bonds and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance pays for damage to your RDX resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things such as colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox, driving through your garage door and crashing into a building. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses like prosthetic devices, dental work and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Better coverage you can count on

When searching for affordable insurance quotes, do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. In many cases, someone sacrificed physical damage coverage and found out when filing a claim that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your aim should be to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford while not skimping on critical coverages.

People change insurance companies for any number of reasons including high rates after DUI convictions, poor customer service, an unsatisfactory settlement offer or even being labeled a high risk driver. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new car insurance company is actually quite simple.

We’ve covered a lot of ways to get a better price on 2007 Acura RDX insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more rate quotes you have, the better your comparison will be. Consumers could even find that the best rates are with an unexpected company.
