Feel like you have an underperforming, overpriced insurance coverage policy? Trust us, there are many drivers thinking the same thing.

People have so many car insurance companies to pick from, and although it’s nice to have a selection, it can be more challenging to compare rates and cut insurance costs.

Take advantage of every auto insurance discount

Some insurers do not list the entire discount list very clearly, so here is a list some of the more common in addition to some of the lesser obvious discounts that may be available.

  • Seat Belt Discounts – Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to use their safety belts may be able to save a few bucks off the PIP or medical payment premium.
  • Discounts for Multiple Vehicles – Buying insurance for multiple cars with the same company could earn a price break for each car.
  • Multi-line Discount – Companies who offer life insurance give lower rates if you buy some life insurance in addition to your auto policy.
  • E-sign Discounts – A few companies provide a small discount get car insurance on the web.
  • Multi-policy Discount – If you combine your home and auto policies and insure them both with the same insurance company you could get a discount of 10% to 20% off each policy.
  • Accident Forgiveness Coverage – but companies like Geico, Progressive, and Allstate will turn a blind eye to one accident without raising rates so long as you haven’t had any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Federal Employees – Active or former government employment can earn a discount up to 10% for C70 coverage depending on your company.

A little note about advertised discounts, most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So when it seems like you can get free auto insurance, that’s just not realistic. But all discounts will bring down your policy cost.

Insurance coverage myths debunked

Big name companies like Allstate and Progressive continually stream ads in print and on television. They all convey the message about how much you will save just by switching your insurance coverage coverage to their company. But how can every company have lower policy pricing? Here is the trick they use.

All the different companies have underwriting criteria for the type of customer that is profitable for them. A good example of a profitable insured may be between 30 and 50, has no prior claims, and has excellent credit. Anybody who matches those parameters will most likely get cheap premium rates and therefore will cut their rates substantially.

Potential insureds who don’t qualify for this stringent profile will be quoted higher premium rates and this results in business going elsewhere. The trick is to say “drivers that switch” not “everyone who quotes” can get the lowest rates when switching. That’s the way insurance companies can advertise the savings. This illustrates why drivers should get car insurance quotes as often as possible. You cannot predict which insurance companies will give you lower premium rates than your current company.

Auto insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for immediate expenses for prosthetic devices, X-ray expenses, ambulance fees and nursing services. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your C70 resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things such as hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle and sideswiping another vehicle. 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 bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from getting keyed, theft, hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and a broken windshield. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Volvo C70.

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 is a good idea.

Liability auto insurance

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, 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 claims such as attorney fees, structural damage, pain and suffering and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Be a smart shopper

When searching for cheap car insurance quotes, do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are too many instances where someone dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits only to find out that the savings was not a smart move. The proper strategy is to buy a smart amount of coverage at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.
