Car insurance is not cheap nor is it fun to buy but you might find some hidden discounts to reduce the price significantly. Some of these disounts will be visible at the time you complete a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be specially asked for before being credited.
As is typical with insurance, most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only reduce specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. Just because it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, car insurance companies aren’t that generous.
A partial list of companies that possibly offer most of the discounts above include:
When comparing rates, check with each company which discounts they offer. A few discounts might not apply in your area. To see a list of insurers with significant discounts, follow this link.

Having a good grasp of a car insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.
Coverage for liability – Liability coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability can pay for things like structural damage, emergency aid, loss of income, attorney fees and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
Collision coverages – This coverage pays for damage to your MDX from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things like damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like hitting a deer, a broken windshield, hail damage, rock chips in glass and damage from getting keyed. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Insurance for medical payments – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills for things like surgery, EMT expenses, doctor visits and nursing services. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
As you quote car insurance, do not buy less coverage just to save a little money. There are a lot of situations where an accident victim reduced liability coverage limits to discover at claim time that it was a big mistake. Your focus should be to buy enough coverage for the lowest cost while not skimping on critical coverages.

Lots of good stuff here. From a town just southwest of New Orleans, LA. Received rates from Western Auto Insurance, Auto-Owners, Hartford, and Sentry for my MDX and saved $71 a year. Got better coverage too. My Acura doesn’t have full coverage.

If you don’t have tickets and live around Las Cruces, NM, check out GEICO. They seem to be cheaper. I even had a DUI years ago. They have free quotes online.

All insurance companies are crooks.

Like your site, BTW. Went with Farmers for my MDX and saved about $80 a year. Might find lower rates online. Book value doesn’t justify full coverage anymore.
