Drivers save money with these seven money-saving discounts

Some companies do not list every discount in an easy-to-find place, so the list below details a few of the more well known and the harder-to-find credits that may apply to you.

  • Federal Government Employee – Active or former government employment could cut as much as 10% off on Spark insurance depending on your auto insurance provider.
  • Auto/Home Discount – If you can bundle your auto and home insurance and place coverage with the same company they may give you a discount of as much as 10 to 15 percent.
  • Student Driver Training – Require your teen driver to take driver’s ed class as it will make them better drivers and lower rates.
  • Defensive Driver Discount – Taking part in a course that instructs on driving safety is a good idea and can lower rates and easily pay for the cost of the class.
  • Theft Prevention System – Vehicles that have factory alarm systems and tracking devices have a lower chance of being stolen and will qualify for a discount on a car insurance quote.
  • Active Service Discounts – Having a deployed family member could qualify you for better premium rates.
  • Good Driver Discounts – Safe drivers may receive a discount up to 45% on Spark insurance than drivers with accident claims.

Drivers should understand that many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only reduce individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage.

Do I need special coverages?

When buying proper insurance coverage, there really is not a cookie cutter policy. Each situation is unique and your policy should reflect that. For instance, these questions may help you determine if your situation might need professional guidance.

  • Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
  • Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
  • Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
  • What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
  • If my pet gets injured in an accident are they covered?
  • Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
  • Do I need PIP coverage since I have good health insurance?
  • How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Auto insurance coverage options for a 2015 Chevy Spark

Understanding the coverages of auto insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the usual coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.

Liability coverage

This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things such as medical expenses, emergency aid, bail bonds, structural damage and pain and suffering. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision protection

This covers damage to your Spark caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as crashing into a ditch, scraping a guard rail and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Chevy Spark.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as a broken windshield, vandalism and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses like dental work, surgery and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
