Car insurance is not cheap, but there could be available discounts that you may not know about. Many discounts should be triggered at the time you complete a quote, but occassionally some discounts must be asked for before being credited.
While discounts sound great, it’s important to understand that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. Most only cut specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. So when the math indicates having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, nobody gets a free ride. But any discount will positively reduce the amount you pay for coverage.
A list of companies and the discounts they provide are outlined below.
When comparing rates, check with each insurance company how many discounts you can get. Depending on the company, some discounts might not be offered on policies in your area. If you would like to see a list of car insurance companies offering car insurance discounts, follow this link.

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your GMC Yukon.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Comprehensive auto coverage
This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like hitting a bird, theft, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and vandalism. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills like chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, pain medications and surgery. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Auto liability insurance
This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects, medical services and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Yukon resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for claims like sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle, colliding with a tree and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Drivers leave their current company for a number of reasons such as not issuing a premium refund, an unsatisfactory settlement offer, lack of trust in their agent or denial of a claim. Whatever your reason, finding a new auto insurance company can be easy and end up saving you some money.
