The best way to compare car insurance company rates is to understand most of the bigger providers have advanced systems to compare rate quotes. All you need to do is provide the companies a bit of rating information like your job, the type of vehicles you drive, whether or not you need a SR-22, and how you use your vehicles. That information is submitted instantly to multiple top-rated companies and they provide comparison quotes instantly.
Companies offering auto insurance don’t always advertise all possible discounts very clearly, so we took the time to find a few of the more well known and also the lesser-known credits that you can use to lower your rates.
Don’t be surprised that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. So when it seems like it’s possible to get free car insurance, you’re out of luck. Any amount of discount will definitely lower your policy premiums.
Popular insurance companies and their offered discounts are outlined below.
If you want cheaper insurance quotes, ask every prospective company which discounts they offer. Savings may not be available everywhere. If you would like to see a list of insurers who offer insurance discounts, click this link.
When buying coverage, there really is no best way to insure your cars. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.
For instance, these questions can aid in determining whether or not you will benefit from professional help.
If you’re not sure about those questions, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.
Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for expenses such as X-ray expenses, hospital visits and surgery. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed and a broken windshield. The most your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Liability car insurance
This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability can pay for things such as structural damage, court costs and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision protection
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision insurance covers things such as damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter, rolling your car and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Live in the southern part of Gulfport, MS. I quoted with Auto-Owners, Sentry, and a few others for my Chevrolet and saved $90 a year. Left State Farm to switch. I get lower rates because of my clean driving record.

Nice post. I’m from Boston, Massachusetts. Checked online prices for a 1996 Chevrolet Impala. Ended up at about $70 savings annually. Went with 21st Century. Insured with Allstate before. I increased coverages a little too. Not worth enough to pay for comprehensive and collision.
Lizzie Lynch
Corporate greed I’m telling you. I live east of Newark, New Jersey. I don’t recall every quote but I ended up saving about $20 each month. Was with AIG Insurance. Anyone else drop full coverage?

Does Allstate offer new car replacement?

I’m in Miami, Florida. Got car insurance quotes from Liberty Mutual, AAA, Sentry, and a couple others for my Impala and I think I am saving around $30 each month. My Chevrolet doesn’t have full coverage.

Cheaper car insurance is a myth. I live north of Wichita, KS. Checked online prices for a 1996 Chevrolet Impala. Ended up at about $100 savings annually. Went with 21st Century. Online quotes are the way to go.

I got quite a few price quotes for a 1996 Chevrolet Impala in Indianapolis, IN. Ended up at roughly $80 every six months with Auto-Owners. Was with Nationwide. My Chevrolet doesn’t have full coverage.

Hope my car insurance gets cheaper. I’m in the west part of Denver, CO. Received quotes from GEICO, Auto-Owners, and some I forget for my 1996 Chevrolet Impala and saved just over $80 a year. My new agent seems to be really good. Anyone else drop full coverage?
Kathie Clayton
Found cheapest coverage with Liberty Mutual for my Chevrolet and cut my rates about $110 a year. Insured with Hanover before. I get a discount for insuring multiple vehicles. God forbid I actually have a claim. I think I’ll get rid of full coverage next time.
Claudine Ortega
Cheaper car insurance is a myth. I’m from North Charleston, SC. Got prices from AAA, Mercury, and a few others for my Impala and saved about $80 a year. Left Mercury to switch. Good savings if you bundle. LOL I’m thinking about dropping full coverage though.
Reagan Horne
Thanks for putting this site together. Went with American Family for my 1996 Chevrolet Impala and saved about $100 a year. Good multi-policy discounts. Highly recommended. I don’t have comp or collision coverage.
