Cheap car insurance rates with discounts

Car insurance is expensive, but there’s a good chance there are discounts that could drop your premiums quite a bit. Many of these discounts will be applied automatically when you quote, but a few must be asked about prior to getting the savings. If you do not check that you are getting every discount you qualify for, you could be paying more than you need to.

  • Savings for New Vehicles – Putting insurance on a new car is cheaper since newer vehicles have better safety ratings.
  • Safety Course Discount – Taking time to complete a course that instructs on driving safety may get you a small discount if your company offers it.
  • Discount for Good Grades – Maintaining excellent grades can earn a discount of 20% or more. Earning this discount can benefit you well after school through age 25.
  • Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags may earn rate discounts of 20% or more.
  • Auto/Home Discount – When you have multiple policies and insure them both with the same insurance company you may earn as much as 10 to 15 percent.
  • Theft Prevention Discount – Cars, trucks, and SUVs equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems have a lower chance of being stolen and will save you 10% or more.
  • Multi-car Discount – Having multiple vehicles on one policy can get a discount for every vehicle.
  • Club Memberships – Joining specific professional or occupational memberships or organizations can get you a small discount on your policy.
  • Discount for Life Insurance – Select insurance carriers reward you with a lower price if you buy life insurance.
  • Driving Data Discount – Insureds who allow data collection to monitor their driving habits by using a telematics device in their vehicle such as Drivewise from Allstate or Snapshot from Progressive could see a rate decrease if they show good driving skills.

Drivers should understand that most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. If you do the math and it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it just doesn’t work that way. But all discounts will bring down the premium cost.

Car insurance coverages for a 1990 GMC S-15

Understanding the coverages of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as a broken windshield, hitting a deer, falling objects and damage from flooding. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your 1990 GMC S-15.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your S-15 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims such as driving through your garage door, crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills for dental work, hospital visits and doctor visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers things like structural damage, pain and suffering and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Make an honest buck

People change insurance companies for many reasons like lack of trust in their agent, denial of a claim, being labeled a high risk driver or unfair underwriting practices. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch finding a new company is not as hard as you think.

There are still a few companies who may not provide online price quotes and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents. Budget-friendly car insurance can be bought both online and also from your neighborhood agents, so compare prices from both to get a complete price analysis.

When trying to cut insurance costs, don’t be tempted to buy poor coverage just to save money. There have been many cases where an insured cut uninsured motorist or liability limits only to discover later they didn’t have enough coverage. The aim is to find the BEST coverage at the best cost while still protecting your assets.
