These discounts can slash auto insurance rates

Auto insurance companies don’t always advertise all possible discounts very clearly, so the next list breaks down both well-publicized and the more hidden auto insurance savings.

  • Onboard Data Collection – Insureds who allow their company to study driving patterns by using a telematics device like Allstate’s Drivewise may see discounts if they have good driving habits.
  • Seat Belt Discounts – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to use their safety belts can save up to 15% off the medical payments premium.
  • First Accident Forgiveness – This one is not really a discount per se, but a few companies such as Allstate, State Farm and Geico permit an accident without getting socked with a rate hike as long as you don’t have any claims for a specific time period.
  • Drivers Ed for Students – Teen drivers should participate in a local driver’s education class in school.
  • Low Mileage Discounts – Low mileage vehicles could be rewarded with substantially lower prices.
  • Club Memberships – Affiliation with certain professional organizations could earn you a nice discount on auto insurance.
  • Smart Student Discounts – Being a good student could provide a savings of up to 20% or more. You can use this discount normally up until you turn 25.

Don’t be shocked that most discounts do not apply the the whole policy. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like it’s possible to get free car insurance, you won’t be that lucky.

A list of auto insurance companies and their possible discounts are detailed below.

  • Geico offers premium reductions for membership and employees, daytime running lights, air bags, federal employee, good student, anti-lock brakes, and driver training.
  • Travelers has savings for early quote, save driver, home ownership, continuous insurance, driver training, and payment discounts.
  • Nationwide may offer discounts for multi-policy, business or organization, anti-theft, Farm Bureau membership, easy pay, and good student.
  • Farmers Insurance policyholders can earn discounts including alternative fuel, homeowner, mature driver, distant student, electronic funds transfer, and early shopping.
  • Esurance offers discounts including Switch & Save, online shopper, multi-policy, good driver, and anti-lock brakes.
  • State Farm offers discounts for defensive driving training, good driver, good student, passive restraint, and Drive Safe & Save.

  • Mercury Insurance may include discounts for low natural disaster claims, professional/association, multi-policy, good student, age of vehicle, type of vehicle, and accident-free.

If you want affordable auto insurance quotes, ask each company which discounts can lower your rates. Depending on the company, some discounts might not be available to policyholders in your area. To see a list of insurance companies who offer discounts, follow this link.

When do I need an agent’s advice?

When it comes to choosing coverage, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Each situation is unique so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether you may require specific advice.

  • Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
  • How high should my uninsured/underinsured coverage be in my state?
  • Should I waive the damage coverage when renting a car?
  • What can I do if my company denied a claim?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
  • Do I need replacement cost coverage?
  • Does coverage extend to a rental car in a foreign country?
  • Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 1998 Lincoln Town Car is totaled?

If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and can provide invaluable advice.

Car insurance coverage specifics

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as fire damage, theft and hail damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Lincoln Town Car.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Collision coverages – Collision insurance covers damage to your Town Car resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers things like sideswiping another vehicle, driving through your garage door, colliding with another moving vehicle and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Liability car insurance – This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see values of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers things such as attorney fees, pain and suffering and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses like X-ray expenses, doctor visits, surgery and dental work. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

    If you have a good history and live in the vicinity of Provo, UT, check out GEICO. You might get cheaper rates. I have a couple other vehicles on the policy. :) I dropped full coverage awhile back.

    Live in the western part of Boise, ID. Quoted with 21st Century, Liberty Mutual, and Encompass for my 1998 Lincoln Town Car and saved $115 a year. I just quoted rates online. Anyone else drop full coverage?

  7. Vinita Miller

    Thought I’d throw in my experience. I’m in the suburbs of Aurora, CO. Got car insurance quotes with Progressive, Eastwood, and Liberty Mutual for my Town Car and saved $88 a year. Even increased my liability limits. Next renewal I’ll just do liability.

  8. Ida Rivers

    I can’t pay high rates. I’m from Allentown, PA. Got rates from GMAC, Amica, MetLife, and a couple others for my 1998 Lincoln Town Car and saved $69 a year. I don’t insure for physical damage though.

  9. Cecilia Cochran

    If you have a good history and live near Burlington, VT, check out Progressive. You might get cheaper rates. Left Erie to switch. Good savings if you bundle. I just quoted rates online.

  10. Faustino Mccormick

    Cheaper not always better. I live in a small town just outside of Seattle, WA. I quoted with MetLife, Erie, Allstate, and AIG Insurance for my 1998 Lincoln Town Car and saved $98 a year. Insured with Hanover before. I increased coverages a little too. I don’t insure for physical damage though.

    Like your site, BTW. Lifelong resident of Rutland, VT. Got car insurance rates from Allstate, American Family, and Esurance for my Lincoln and am saving around $70 a year. Left MetLife to switch. It was easy to get rates. Full coverage costs too much.
