Take advantage of every insurance discount

Companies offering auto insurance don’t always advertise their entire list of discounts very clearly, so the list below gives a summary of a few of the more well known and also the more inconspicuous ways to save on insurance.

• Accident Forgiveness – but some companies like Allstate and State Farm permit an accident without the usual rate increase if you are claim-free for a set time period.
• Own a Home – Being a homeowner can get you a discount since home ownership demonstrates responsibility.
• Multiple Vehicles – Buying insurance for multiple cars on one policy can reduce rates for all insured vehicles.
• Onboard Data Collection – People who choose to allow their company to spy on when and where they use their vehicle by installing a telematics device such as In-Drive from State Farm or Allstate’s Drivewise system could possibly reduce rates if they have good driving habits.
• Early Switch Discount – Some companies give discounts for buying a new policy prior to your current policy expiration. This discount can save up to 10%.
• Theft Deterent Discount – Vehicles with anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and earn discounts up to 10% off your insurance quote.
• Senior Citizen Discount – Drivers over the age of 55 are able to get a small decrease in premiums on Safari Cargo insurance.

As is typical with insurance, most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So despite the fact that it appears you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies wouldn’t make money that way. Any qualifying discounts will positively reduce your policy premium.

How to know if you need help

When choosing proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Each situation is unique.

For example, these questions might point out if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.

• Do I have coverage when pulling a U-Haul trailer?
• Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?
• Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
• Is a fancy paint job covered?
• Should I buy full coverage?
• Is motorclub coverage worth it?
• Are there companies who specialize in insuring high-risk drivers?
• How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
• How high should deductibles be on a 1998 GMC Safari Cargo?
• I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?

If you can’t answer these questions, you may need to chat with an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

Car insurance coverages explained

Understanding the coverages of car insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for doctor visits, surgery, rehabilitation expenses and dental work. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to 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

Liability insurance

This provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for claims such as emergency aid, medical services, loss of income and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision protection

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Safari Cargo resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims like hitting a parking meter, rolling your car, hitting a mailbox and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like fire damage, hitting a deer, damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane and a broken windshield. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim 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.
