Affordable insurance rates with discounts

Insurance is easily one of your largest bills, but you might already qualify for some discounts that can dramatically reduce your bill. Many of these discounts will be applied automatically when you quote, but some may not be applied and must be requested specifically before you get the savings.

  • Theft Prevention Discount – Cars, trucks, and SUVs that have factory anti-theft systems are less likely to be stolen and will save you 10% or more.
  • Home Ownership Discount – Being a homeowner can get you a discount because owning a home requires personal responsibility.
  • 55 and Retired – If you’re over the age of 55, you can possibly qualify for a small discount on rates for Cooper Clubman insurance.
  • Discount for Passive Restraints – Factory air bags can receive discounts of 20% or more.
  • Resident Student – who attend college more than 100 miles from home and leave their car at home may be able to be covered for less.

Consumers should know that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So when the math indicates having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you aren’t that lucky. Any qualifying discounts should help reduce your premiums.

Large insurance companies and a summarized list of policyholder discounts are outlined below.

  • State Farm may have discounts that include Drive Safe & Save, good student, driver’s education, multiple autos, anti-theft, and student away at school.
  • American Family discounts include good driver, TimeAway discount, accident-free, mySafetyValet, defensive driver, and air bags.
  • GEICO includes discounts for defensive driver, anti-theft, five-year accident-free, federal employee, seat belt use, membership and employees, and good student.
  • 21st Century may offer discounts for automatic seat belts, air bags, defensive driver, good student, and driver training.
  • Progressive has savings for multi-policy, good student, online quote discount, multi-vehicle, and online signing.

Tailor your auto insurance coverage to you

When buying the right insurance coverage, there really is no “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different.

Here are some questions about coverages that may help highlight whether your personal situation will benefit from professional help.

  • How much liability do I need to cover my assets?
  • What is covered by UM/UIM coverage?
  • Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?
  • I have a DUI can I still get coverage?
  • Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
  • What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
  • Is a blown tire covered by insurance?
  • When can my company non-renew my policy?
  • Will filing a claim cost me more?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form. It is quick, free and can help protect your family.

Auto insurance policy specifics

Understanding the coverages of auto insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This provides protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your 2010 MINI Cooper Clubman.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage covers damage to your Cooper Clubman from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail, hitting a mailbox and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Liability

This will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see values of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, 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 limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, medical expenses, repair costs for stationary objects, medical services and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage

This pays for 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 such as damage from flooding, vandalism, theft and hitting a deer. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses like surgery, ambulance fees and rehabilitation expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Save for a rainy day

While you’re price shopping online, make sure you don’t buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There have been many cases where an accident victim reduced uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret they didn’t have enough coverage. Your goal is to purchase plenty of coverage for the lowest price, but do not skimp to save money.

We just showed you a lot of information how to lower your 2010 MINI Cooper Clubman insurance premium rates. It’s most important to understand that the more rate quotes you have, the better likelihood of getting cheap insurance. You may even find the biggest savings come from the least-expected company.

People leave their current company for a number of reasons such as not issuing a premium refund, denial of a claim, questionable increases in premium or poor customer service. It doesn’t matter what your reason, choosing a new company is easier than you think.
