Companies that sell car insurance don’t always publicize all their discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list a few of the more common and also the lesser-known discounts you could be receiving when you buy insurance coverage online.
It’s important to note that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it’s just not the way it works. But any discount should help reduce your premiums.
Insurance companies who may offer these money-saving discounts include:
If you are trying to find affordable insurance coverage quotes, ask every insurance company to apply every possible discount. All car insurance discounts might not be offered in your area.
When buying coverage, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Every insured’s situation is different so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions could help you determine whether or not you will benefit from professional help.

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from flooding, hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hitting a bird. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses like pain medications, chiropractic care, surgery, rehabilitation expenses and funeral costs. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a building, rolling your car and crashing into a ditch. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Mercury Villager.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Most of the time these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people that is your fault. It 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, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, pain and suffering, bail bonds and funeral expenses. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
We’ve covered many tips how you can save on 1995 Mercury Villager insurance. The key thing to remember is the more quotes you get, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. Consumers could even find that the lowest priced insurance comes from a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising. Regional companies may cover specific market segments cheaper than the large multi-state companies such as Geico and State Farm.
As you restructure your insurance plan, it’s not a good idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. Too many times, consumers will sacrifice liability coverage limits only to find out that it was a big mistake. The ultimate goal is to find the BEST coverage at the lowest possible cost but still have enough coverage for asset protection.

I compared a lot of rate quotes for a 1995 Mercury Villager in Seattle, WA. Ended up at roughly $90 every six months with AIG Insurance. God forbid I actually have a claim. I don’t put full coverage on it.

Well-written and thought out article. From northwest of Mobile, Alabama. Got car insurance rates from GMAC, AIG Insurance, Sentry, and a couple others for my Villager and saved just over $70 a year. Insured with Progressive before. I have several vehicles insured with them. They were helpful in switching over. I don’t put full coverage on it.

Cheap car insurance? What’s that? I’m from Albuquerque, NM. Received prices from USAA, Auto-Owners, Hartford, and Safeco for my Mercury and I’m now saving $11 a month. I just quoted rates online. Book value doesn’t justify full coverage anymore.
