Insurance is expensive, but there could be significant discounts to help offset the cost. Some trigger automatically when you purchase, but a few must be manually applied before you will receive the discount.
As a disclaimer on discounts, some credits don’t apply the the whole policy. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. Just because it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won’t be that lucky.
Companies and a partial list of their discounts are shown below.
Check with every prospective company how many discounts you can get. A few discounts may not be offered in your state. To see insurance companies with the best discounts, click here.

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Collision – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Accent resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for things like driving through your garage door, backing into a parked car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Medical expense insurance – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses for things like pain medications, surgery and EMT expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Hyundai Accent.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from flooding, hitting a bird and hail damage. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Liability car insurance – Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover 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. You might see limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability insurance covers things like bail bonds, attorney fees, pain and suffering, legal defense fees and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.
When shopping online for car insurance, don’t be tempted to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There have been many cases where consumers will sacrifice liability coverage limits only to regret at claim time that they should have had better coverage. The goal is to buy a smart amount of coverage at an affordable rate while still protecting your assets.
Drivers switch companies for many reasons like policy non-renewal, denial of a claim, policy cancellation or not issuing a premium refund. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch finding a great new company can be easier than you think.
We just showed you a lot of ways to lower your 2013 Hyundai Accent insurance premium rates. The key thing to remember is the more price quotes you have, the better your chances of lowering your prices. Consumers could even find that the lowest premium rates come from an unexpected company.
