Companies don’t always publicize the entire discount list in an easy-to-find place, so we break down both the well known as well as some of the hidden auto insurance savings.
We need to note that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. Even though the math looks like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, companies don’t profit that way.
A few of the larger companies and a selection of discounts can be found below.
Before purchasing a policy, check with all companies you are considering which credits you are entitled to. Some discounts listed above may not be available everywhere. If you would like to see a list of companies that provide some of the discounts listed above, click this link.

Knowing the specifics of your 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 ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages available from insurance companies.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage
This protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2004 Infiniti M45.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Medical expense coverage
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses for hospital visits, surgery and nursing services. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive protection
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from getting keyed, theft, hitting a bird and a broken windshield. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Coverage for liability
Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Collision protection
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision insurance covers things such as scraping a guard rail, driving through your garage door, crashing into a ditch, colliding with a tree and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

From Nashua, New Hampshire. Received prices from Mercury, Encompass, GEICO, and AIG Insurance for my Infiniti and I think I am saving around $30 each month. Left Hartford to switch. Just go online and compare their rates.
Viola Carver
I got quite a few price quotes for a 2004 Infiniti M45 in Henderson, Nevada. Ended up at right around $90 every six months with AAA. They have a lot of discounts available. When should I drop full coverage?
Lourie Richards
Not sure if this is cheap. Proud to be from Indianapolis, IN. Quoted rates from AIG Insurance, Nationwide, and a few others for my M45 and I think I am saving around $20 each month. I quoted rates online then called them.

IT’S ALL TOO EXPENSIVE! Located in Fort Wayne, IN. Quoted with Travelers, Auto-Owners, Hanover, and MetLife for my 2004 Infiniti M45 and am saving around $60 a year. Good multi-policy discounts.

If you have a good history and live near Dover, Delaware, check out Allstate. They seem to be cheaper. Was with The General. They offer free online rate quotes.
Verlene Stanton
IT’S ALL TOO EXPENSIVE! Live in the eastern part of Denver, Colorado. Quoted prices from Allstate, American Family, and Erie for my 2004 Infiniti M45 and I’m now saving $14 a month. Teenage drivers are expensive! Can still barely afford it. I just carry liability insurance.

Cheaper car insurance is a myth. I live in Wichita, KS. I quoted with GEICO, The General, and Encompass for my 2004 Infiniti M45 and I’m now saving $13 a month. God forbid I actually have a claim.

I’m in the suburbs of Fayetteville, AR. Don’t remember every company but I ended up saving about $10 each month. Only insure liability on my Infiniti.

Good site, thanks. I live north of Atlanta, GA. Quoted prices online for a 2004 Infiniti M45. Ended up at about $90 savings annually. Went with Allstate. Full coverage costs too much.
