Auto insurance companies don’t always publicize every discount in an easy-to-find place, so here is a list a few of the more common as well as some of the hidden credits that may apply to you.
We need to note that some credits don’t apply to the entire cost. Most only cut specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, that’s just not realistic.
Large insurance companies and some of their more popular discounts are detailed below.
If you are trying to find affordable car insurance quotes, ask every insurance company to apply every possible discount. Some discounts listed above may not apply to policies in your area. To see a list of insurance companies who offer discounts, click this link.

Whichever method you choose, make sure you are using exactly the same coverage information with every price quote. If you are comparing different liability limits it will be next to impossible to make an equal comparison.
When buying insurance coverage it’s important to understand the rating factors that play a part in calculating your insurance coverage rates. If you know what influences your rates, this allows you to make good choices that could result in big savings. Multiple criteria are used when you get a price on insurance. Some are pretty understandable such as traffic violations, but some are not quite as obvious such as your marital status or your financial responsibility.
Shown below are a few of the “ingredients” companies use to determine rates.
When buying coverage, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different.
For instance, these questions may help highlight whether your personal situation will benefit from professional help.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form. It only takes a few minutes and can help protect your family.
Consumers can’t ignore all the ads for the lowest price insurance coverage from companies such as Allstate and Progressive. All the companies have a common claim that drivers will save a bundle if you just switch your insurance coverage coverage to their company.
It sounds good, but how can they all offer drivers better rates? Here is the trick they use.
All companies quote their cheapest rates for the type of customer that earns them the highest profit. For instance, a desirable insured should be between the ages of 30 and 50, carries high limits, and chooses high deductibles. Anyone that fits those parameters will most likely get cheap premium rates and will probably cut their rates substantially.
Potential customers who fall short of this stringent profile will be quoted higher rates and ends up with the customer buying from someone else. The trick is to say “drivers that switch” not “all people who quote” save that much when switching. This is how insurance companies can state the savings. This really drives home the point why you really should get car insurance quotes from several different companies. It’s impossible to know which insurance companies will have the lowest rate quotes.
Having a good grasp of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
UM/UIM Coverage
This gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Collision protection
Collision coverage pays for damage to your Wrangler caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for claims such as colliding with a tree, hitting a mailbox, hitting a parking meter and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed, vandalism, hail damage and damage from flooding. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time 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.
Liability auto insurance
This coverage can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, funeral expenses, structural damage and court costs. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Medical costs insurance
Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like hospital visits, surgery, nursing services, doctor visits and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
We covered a lot of techniques to lower your 2007 Jeep Wrangler insurance premium rates. The key concept to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the better your chances of lowering your prices. You may be surprised to find that the best price on insurance coverage is with a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising.
When trying to cut insurance costs, do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are many occasions where an accident victim reduced comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to discover later that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The ultimate goal is to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.
Consumers who switch companies do it for any number of reasons including lack of trust in their agent, an unsatisfactory settlement offer, being labeled a high risk driver and policy non-renewal. No matter why you want to switch, choosing a new insurance company can be pretty painless.
