Seven discounts for lower-cost insurance coverage rates

Companies don’t necessarily list every discount they offer in an easy-to-find place, so the next list breaks down both well-publicized and also the lesser-known discounts that you may qualify for.

  • Early Payment Discounts – If paying your policy premium upfront rather than paying in monthly installments you can avoid monthly service charges.
  • Homeowners Discount – Simply owning a home may trigger a policy discount on insurance coverage because it shows financial diligence.
  • College Student – Children who live away from home to go to college and leave their car at home can receive lower rates.
  • Federal Employees – Federal government employees can save as much as 8% for H2 SUT coverage depending on your insurance coverage provider.
  • No Charge for an Accident – but some companies like Progressive, State Farm and GEICO will let one accident slide without the usual rate increase if you have no claims prior to being involved in the accident.
  • Auto/Life Discount – Not every insurance company offers life insurance, but if they do you may earn a small discount if you purchase life insurance.
  • Multi-policy Discount – If you have multiple policies with one company you may earn 10% to 20% off each policy.

Auto insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on the average insurance policy.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your HUMMER H2 SUT.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as a broken windshield, hitting a bird, fire damage, damage from getting keyed and hitting a deer. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills such as doctor visits, hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses, funeral costs and surgery. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability car insurance

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

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for claims like structural damage, funeral expenses, attorney fees, legal defense fees and court costs. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your H2 SUT from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like damaging your car on a curb, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

At the end of the day…

As you restructure your insurance plan, it’s not a good idea to skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There are many occasions where an insured cut liability limits or collision coverage only to regret that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your strategy should be to find the BEST coverage at the best price, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.

Cheaper 2007 HUMMER H2 SUT insurance is possible both online as well as from independent agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance providers may not have the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these smaller companies work with independent agents.
