If you’re not getting every credit possible, you’re paying more than you need to.
As is typical with insurance, most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So when it seems like it’s possible to get free car insurance, it’s just not the way it works.
A few popular companies and their possible discounts are outlined below.
Before buying, ask every prospective company which credits you are entitled to. Some discounts might not apply everywhere.

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Collision protection
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Mark LT resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for things such as backing into a parked car, crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as theft, falling objects and fire damage. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Insurance for medical payments
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as prosthetic devices, doctor visits, pain medications and hospital visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Liability
This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage protects against things like medical expenses, attorney fees, court costs, loss of income and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Lincoln Mark LT.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
When shopping online for car insurance, you should never buy poor coverage just to save money. In too many instances, someone dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits only to discover later that the small savings ended up costing them much more. The goal is to buy a smart amount of coverage at a price you can afford but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
