Auto insurance policy discounts you can’t miss

Companies that sell car insurance don’t always advertise every available discount in a way that’s easy to find, so we researched some of the best known and also the lesser-known credits available to you.

• Low Mileage – Low mileage vehicles could qualify for lower auto insurancerates due to less chance of an accident.
• Theft Prevention Discount – Cars, trucks, and SUVs that have factory anti-theft systems have a lower chance of being stolen and will save you 10% or more.
• Data Collection Discounts – Insureds who allow data collection to track driving manner by using a telematics device in their vehicle such as Progressive’s Snapshot might see lower rates as long as the data is positive.

We need to note that many deductions do not apply to the entire cost. A few only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. Even though it may seem like you can get free auto insurance, auto insurance companies aren’t that generous.

• 21st Century
• State Farm

Learn about auto insurance coverages for a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Understanding the coverages of your auto insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things like damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a building and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from flooding, vandalism and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability coverage – This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees, medical expenses, loss of income and medical services. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses for things like hospital visits, X-ray expenses and doctor visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
