Cheap insurance coverage rates with discounts

Buying insurance coverage is not cheap, but you may find discounts to help bring down the price. Certain credits will be shown when you quote, but once in a while a discount must be inquired about before you will receive the discount.

  • Military Rewards – Being deployed with a military unit could qualify you for better rates.
  • Federal Government Employee – Federal government employees may qualify for a discount when you quote insurance coverage for Pathfinder insurance but check with your company.
  • Anti-theft System – Cars, trucks, and SUVs with anti-theft systems prevent vehicle theft so companies will give you a small discount.
  • Passive Restraint Discount – Options like air bags or automatic seat belts may get savings as much as 30%.
  • Defensive Driver Discounts – Completing a course teaching defensive driving skills could cut 5% off your bill and easily pay for the cost of the class.
  • E-sign – Certain larger companies will give a small break for signing up digitally online.
  • 55 and Retired – Drivers over the age of 55 can possibly qualify for a discount up to 10% for Pathfinder insurance.

Keep in mind that most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. So when the math indicates adding up those discounts means a free policy, insurance coverage companies aren’t that generous. Any amount of discount will lower the cost of your policy.

Popular insurance coverage companies and some of the discounts are detailed below.

  • Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.

Auto insurance 101

Understanding the coverages of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as a broken windshield, fire damage and hail damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a 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.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 2006 Nissan Pathfinder.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your Pathfinder caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for things such as colliding with a tree, crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Auto liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for claims like loss of income, pain and suffering, emergency aid, court costs and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for expenses for things like rehabilitation expenses, pain medications, hospital visits and ambulance fees. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
