Insurance coverage policy discounts

Insurance coverage is not inexpensive, but you may qualify for discounts that could help you make your next renewal payment. Certain reductions will be credited when you quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be specially asked for prior to getting the savings. If you do not double check each discount possible, you could be saving more on your insurance coverage.

• Paper-free Discount – A few larger companies will give a small break shop car insurance on the internet.
• New Vehicle Savings – Insuring a new car can cost up to 25% less because new vehicles keep occupants safer.
• Military Deployment Discount – Being on active deployment in the military may lower your insurance coverage rates slightly.
• Theft Deterent System – Cars, trucks, and SUVs equipped with tracking devices and advanced anti-theft systems are less likely to be stolen and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
• Claim-Free Discount – Insureds with no claims or accidents pay less as opposed to policyholders that have many claims.
• Own a Home – Simply owning a home may earn you a small savings because owning a home is proof that your finances are in order.
• Payment Method – If you can afford to pay the entire bill rather than paying monthly you can avoid monthly service charges.

Keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire cost. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision. Just because it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it doesn’t quite work that way. But all discounts will lower the cost of coverage.

A list of companies and their possible discounts are included below.

• Progressive policyholders can earn discounts including multi-policy, multi-vehicle, online signing, homeowner, continuous coverage, and online quote discount.
• AAA offers premium reductions for pay-in-full, good driver, multi-policy, anti-theft, good student, education and occupation, and multi-car.

How to get insurance coverage quotes

There are several ways to compare insurance coverage prices but one way is less time-consuming than others. You can waste a lot of time driving to insurance companies in your area, or you could save time and use online quoting to maximize your effort.

Many popular insurance companies enroll in a system that enables customers to complete one form, and each company then gives them pricing. This system prevents you from having to do quote forms to each company.

The only drawback to pricing coverage this way is you can’t choose which insurance companies to receive prices from. If you prefer to choose specific providers to compare rates, we have assembled a list of low cost insurance coverage companies in your area. Click here for list of insurance companies.

Take whichever approach you prefer, but make sure you compare apples-to-apples coverages with each company. If the quotes have different coverage information it’s not possible to make an equal comparison.

How do I know if I need professional advice?

When it comes to choosing coverage, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Every insured’s situation is different.

For instance, these questions can help discover if you might need an agent’s assistance.

• Do I pay less for low miles?
• Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
• At what point should I drop full coverage?
• Can my babysitter drive my car?
• Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
• What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in my state?
• What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?
• Am I covered by my employer’s commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?

If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.

Specifics of your car insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance helps when choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Collision coverage – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a building and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability coverages – Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers claims like attorney fees, bail bonds, pain and suffering and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Medical payments coverage and PIP – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like pain medications, doctor visits, ambulance fees, prosthetic devices and dental work. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to 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 universally available and may carry a deductible

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, falling objects, hitting a bird and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
