Car insurance is not inexpensive, but there’s a good chance there are discounts that may help make it more affordable. Certain discounts will be applied when you get a quote, but occassionally some discounts must be specially asked for in order for you to get them.
One last thing about discounts, some credits don’t apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. So when it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, company stockholders wouldn’t be very happy. Any amount of discount should definitely cut the premium cost.
Larger car insurance companies and their offered discounts are outlined below.
It’s a good idea to ask every company to apply every possible discount. Savings might not be available to policyholders in your area. To see companies that offer multiple discounts, follow this link.

Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Mitsubishi Diamante.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Collision protection
Collision coverage pays for damage to your Diamante caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against claims like driving through your garage door, crashing into a building, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Liability car insurance
Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against things like emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as theft, a broken windshield, rock chips in glass, vandalism and damage from flooding. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Medical expense insurance
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like ambulance fees, chiropractic care, prosthetic devices and pain medications. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants as well as 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
When trying to cut insurance costs, do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. In many cases, consumers will sacrifice liability coverage limits and found out when filing a claim that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible at the best price but still have enough coverage for asset protection.

Corporate greed I’m telling you. Live in the northern part of Charlotte, NC. Received prices from GMAC, AIG Insurance, Sentry, and a couple others for my Mitsubishi and saved just over $80 a year. Have an at-fault accident tho.

For me, State Farm was by far the cheapest in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Great info, thanks for posting. I live in Fargo, North Dakota. Got car insurance rates from Progressive, Hanover, and Erie for my Mitsubishi and I’m now saving $19 a month. Not worth enough to pay for comprehensive and collision.

I got quite a few price quotes for a 1999 Mitsubishi Diamante in Birmingham, Alabama. Ended up at about $90 every six months with Amica. Left Eastwood to switch. I get a discount for insuring multiple vehicles. I don’t insure for physical damage though.

Will Allstate do a SR22 in Hawaii?

Are State Farm or State Farm rates cheaper in Massachusetts?
Bernita Koch
Well-written and thought out article. I live in a small town just outside of Columbus, GA. Can’t remember who all I quoted but I ended up saving about $30 each month. Insured with Progressive before. Hopefully won’t need it. It’s still not cheap enough.

Just a quick comment on my experience. From northwest of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Received prices from Safeco, Esurance, State Farm, and American Family for my Mitsubishi and saved just over $60 a year. I used their online quote form to compare rates. I don’t put full coverage on it.
