Insurance coverage companies offer lots of discounts

Companies don’t list every discount they offer very clearly, so the list below details a few of the more common in addition to some of the lesser obvious discounts that may be available.

• Service Members Pay Less – Being deployed with a military unit could trigger a small discount.
• Club Memberships – Participating in a professional or civic organization may earn a discount on your next insurance coverage statement.
• Driver’s Education for Students – It’s a good idea to have your young drivers participate in a local driver’s education class if it’s offered in school.
• Anti-lock Brake Discount – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles have fewer accidents so companies give up to a 10% discount.
• Multi-car Discount – Buying coverage for multiple vehicles with one company can get a discount for every vehicle.
• Distant Student – Any of your kids who attend college more than 100 miles from home and won’t have access to an insured vehicle can be insured at a reduced rate.

As a sidenote, most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. Despite the appearance that all the discounts add up to a free policy, you aren’t that lucky.

A few of the larger companies and a partial list of their discounts are:

• State Farm offers discounts including defensive driving training, multiple autos, good student, student away at school, safe vehicle, Drive Safe & Save, and Steer Clear safe driver discount.
• Liberty Mutual offers discounts for exclusive group savings, teen driver discount, hybrid vehicle, multi-policy, newly married, and new vehicle discount.
• American Family has savings for bundled insurance, good driver, mySafetyValet, Steer into Savings, early bird, and defensive driver.
• Progressive discounts include homeowner, multi-vehicle, online signing, continuous coverage, good student, and multi-policy.
• Farmers Insurance offers premium reductions for switch companies, business and professional, alternative fuel, good student, electronic funds transfer, youthful driver, and teen driver.
• Auto-Owners Insurance includes discounts for mature driver, anti-lock brakes, multiple vehicles, paid in full, teen driver, safe driver, and student away at school.
• SAFECO may have discounts that include multi-car, anti-lock brakes, teen safe driver, homeowner, teen safety rewards, drive less, and bundle discounts.

Double check with each insurance company which discounts you qualify for. Some of the earlier mentioned discounts may not be available in your area. To find insurance coverage companies with significant discounts, click here to view.

The best way to get policy rate comparisons takes advantage of the fact auto insurance companies allow for online access to quote your coverage. All consumers are required to do is give them some information like what you do for a living, if the vehicle is leased, whether you are married, and if your license is active. That rating information is then sent to many different companies and you receive quotes with very little delay.

Do I just need basic coverages?

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions can aid in determining whether your personal situation will benefit from professional help.

• Are rock chip repairs covered?
• What discounts do I qualify for?
• Should I have a commercial auto policy?
• Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
• What are the best liability limits?
• What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in my state?
• Is my vehicle covered by my employer’s policy when using it for work?
• What can I do if my company denied a claim?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier It’s fast, free and can provide invaluable advice.

The coverage is in the details

Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages offered by insurance companies.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This gives you protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Bentley Flying Spur.

Because many people 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 is important protection for you and your family. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Coverage for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like dental work, hospital visits, pain medications, funeral costs and ambulance fees. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability car insurance

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverages

This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from getting keyed, hitting a deer, a broken windshield, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and fire damage. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your Flying Spur resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like damaging your car on a curb, driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a ditch. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Affordable insurance is out there

Cheaper auto insurance can be sourced online in addition to local insurance agencies, so get free insurance coverage quotes from both of them in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some companies may not offer the ability to get a quote online and many times these small, regional companies sell through independent agencies.

While you’re price shopping online, don’t be tempted to skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. In many instances, an accident victim reduced full coverage only to discover later that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The aim is to get the best coverage possible at the lowest possible cost but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
