Do you qualify for discount insurance coverage?

Some insurers don’t necessarily list all disounts in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list some of the best known as well as the least known credits available to lower your premiums when you buy insurance online.

• Defensive Driver – Completing a course teaching defensive driving skills could possibly earn you a 5% discount and also improve your driving technique.
• Savings for New Vehicles – Buying insurance coverage on a new vehicle can save you some money because newer vehicles keep occupants safer.
• Payment Method – If you pay your bill all at once rather than paying monthly you may reduce your total bill.
• Good Students Pay Less – This discount can earn a discount of 20% or more. Most companies allow this discount up to age 25.
• Anti-theft System – Cars with anti-theft systems are less likely to be stolen and that can save you a little bit as well.
• First Accident Forgiveness – Not a discount per se, but a handful of insurance companies will forgive one accident before your rates go up as long as you don’t have any claims prior to the accident.
• Service Members Pay Less – Being on active deployment in the military could trigger a small discount.
• Early Switch Discount – A few companies offer discounts for renewing your policy before your current expiration date. You could save around 10% when you buy insurance online.

As a sidenote, most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business. But all discounts will definitely reduce your insurance coverage premiums.

A few popular companies and a summarized list of policyholder discounts include:

• Progressive has savings for online quote discount, continuous coverage, multi-vehicle, online signing, and homeowner.
• AAA may offer discounts for education and occupation, good student, AAA membership discount, anti-theft, multi-policy, good driver, and pay-in-full.

Insurance policy coverages for a 2000 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class

Having a good grasp of insurance helps when choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Mercedes-Benz CL-Class.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from getting keyed and vandalism. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like hospital visits, nursing services, X-ray expenses and rehabilitation expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers all vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision coverage – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your CL-Class caused by collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like damaging your car on a curb, driving through your garage door and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Coverage for liability – This will cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage protects against claims like funeral expenses, pain and suffering, court costs 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 high a limit as you can afford.
