Auto insurance policy discounts you can’t miss

Not too many consumers would say auto insurance is affordable, but there could be significant discounts to reduce the price significantly. Many of these discounts will be applied automatically at the time of quoting, but less common discounts must be asked for prior to receiving the credit.

• Professional Memberships – Being in qualifying employment or professional organizations is a simple method to lower premiums on your next renewal.
• Auto/Home Discount – When you combine your homeowners and auto insurance with the same insurance company you will save at least 10% off all policies.
• College Student Discount – Older children who live away from home at college without a vehicle on campus may be able to be covered for less.
• Homeowners Discount – Owning a house can get you a discount due to the fact that maintaining a home requires personal responsibility.
• First Accident Forgiveness – This isn’t a discount exactly, but some insurance companies will let one accident slide without getting socked with a rate hike if your claims history is clear for a certain period of time.
• Drive Safe and Save – Drivers without accidents may save up to 50% more for 300-Class insurance compared to accident prone drivers.
• Employee of Federal Government – Being employed by or retired from a federal job could provide a small rate reduction for 300-Class insurance with certain companies.
• Early Renewal Discounts – Some companies give discounts for renewing your policy before your current expiration date. This can save 10% or more.

Please keep in mind that most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like all the discounts add up to a free policy, it just doesn’t work that way. But all discounts will bring down the cost of your policy.

Some of the larger companies that may offer some of the discounts shown above include:

• The Hartford
• American Family
• Progressive
• Travelers
• Farmers Insurance
• USAA
• Liberty Mutual

Educate yourself about insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from insurance companies.

Coverage for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like pain medications, doctor visits, chiropractic care and surgery. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers all vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability coverages – This will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage protects against things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, legal defense fees and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hitting a bird, damage from a tornado or hurricane, theft and falling objects. The most your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Collision coverages – This coverage pays for damage to your 300-Class resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like colliding with another moving vehicle, scraping a guard rail and hitting a mailbox. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
