These discounts can slash auto insurance rates

Auto insurance is not inexpensive, but you may qualify for discounts that you may not know about. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time of quoting, but once in a while a discount must be specially asked for before you get the savings. If they aren’t giving you every credit you qualify for, you are not getting the best rate possible.

• Telematics Data Discounts – Drivers who agree to allow companies to spy on where and when they drive remotely such as Allstate’s Drivewise and State Farm’s In-Drive system could possibly reduce rates if they have good driving habits.
• Anti-lock Brake Discount – Cars, trucks, and SUVs with ABS braking systems or traction control are much safer to drive and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
• Military Rewards – Being deployed with a military unit could trigger a small discount.
• Early Switch Discount – Select larger companies give a discount for buying a new policy before your current coverage expires. The savings is around 10%.
• Memberships – Affiliation with a qualifying organization can get you a small discount on your policy.

You should keep in mind that most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. Even though the math looks like adding up those discounts means a free policy, company stockholders wouldn’t be very happy.

Popular auto insurance companies and a selection of discounts are shown below.

• State Farm discounts include passive restraint, driver’s education, defensive driving training, Steer Clear safe driver discount, and student away at school.
• American Family offers discounts including good driver, good student, accident-free, mySafetyValet, bundled insurance, TimeAway discount, and early bird.

When do I need an agent’s advice?

When buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Every situation is different.

For example, these questions might help in determining if your situation might need professional guidance.

• What is the minimum liability in my state?
• Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
• Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?
• Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
• What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
• Do I need replacement cost coverage on my 2016 Lexus ES 300h?
• Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
• Is my teenager covered with friends in the car?
• Should I get collision insurance on every vehicle?
• What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.

Learn about auto insurance coverages for a Lexus ES 300h

Learning about specific coverages of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, a broken windshield, rock chips in glass and hitting a bird. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things such as hitting a mailbox, colliding with another moving vehicle and crashing into a ditch. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This gives you protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Lexus ES 300h.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for dental work, nursing services, rehabilitation expenses and EMT expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability insurance

This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability can pay for things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
