Companies that sell car insurance don’t necessarily list every available discount very well, so the list below contains both the well known and also the lesser-known discounts that you may qualify for. If you’re not getting every credit you qualify for, you’re just leaving money on the table.
Discounts lower rates, but most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Despite the fact that it seems like you can get free auto insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way. Any amount of discount should help lower your policy cost.
A few popular companies and a partial list of their discounts are outlined below.
Check with all the companies which discounts you may be entitled to. Discounts may not apply in your area. If you would like to see a list of car insurance companies that can offer you the previously mentioned discounts, click here.
All the larger car insurance companies such as State Farm, Allstate and GEICO allow consumers to get price estimates on their websites. Getting online rates is fairly simple as all you need to do is type in your coverage preferences as requested by the quote form. Once entered, the quote system orders credit information and your driving record and quotes a price.
This makes comparing rates easy, but the time required to go to each company’s website and repetitively enter the same data into a form is a big time waster. Unfortunately, it is important to perform this step if you want to get the best price possible.

When choosing the right insurance coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Every insured’s situation is different.
Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining whether or not you would benefit from an agent’s advice.
If you can’t answer these questions, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.
Understanding the coverages of insurance helps when choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
This provides protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for things such as hitting a mailbox, driving through your garage door and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a deer. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, funeral costs and hospital visits. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, emergency aid and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
We covered quite a bit of information on how to lower your 2007 Ford Edge insurance premium rates. It’s most important to understand that the more rate comparisons you have, the higher the chance of saving money. Consumers could even find that the best premium rates are with some of the lesser-known companies.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, you should never reduce coverage to reduce premium. Too many times, an accident victim reduced uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret at claim time that they should have had better coverage. The goal is to find the BEST coverage at the best possible price, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
Lower-priced 2007 Ford Edge insurance is possible on the web and with local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best selection. Some insurance providers do not offer internet price quotes and these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.
