Do you qualify for discount car insurance?

Auto insurance companies do not advertise the entire discount list in a way that’s easy to find, so below is a list some of the more common and also the more inconspicuous discounts that may be available.

Distant Student – Youth drivers who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle can receive lower rates.
Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to use a seat belt can save a little off the PIP or medical payment premium.
Life Insurance Discount – Some companies give a discounted price on car insurance if you buy auto and life insurance together.
Anti-lock Brake System – Cars, trucks, and SUVs with anti-lock braking systems can avoid accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
Mature Driver Discount – If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may receive a small discount on rates for Leaf insurance.
Discount for Low Mileage – Driving fewer miles can earn lower premium rates due to less chance of an accident.

It’s important to understand that some credits don’t apply to the overall cost of the policy. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. So even though it sounds like all the discounts add up to a free policy, nobody gets a free ride.

Specifics of your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the right coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as theft, rock chips in glass, hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from flooding. The most your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Auto collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your Leaf from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as hitting a mailbox, crashing into a building and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM Coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Nissan Leaf.

Due to the fact that 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 very important.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills for ambulance fees, rehabilitation expenses and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Coverage for liability

This coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability can pay for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, repair costs for stationary objects, pain and suffering, bail bonds and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.
