Discounts can really help lower rates

Some insurers don’t always publicize all available discounts very well, so the list below gives a summary of some of the best known as well as some of the hidden discounts that may be available.

  • Include Life Insurance and Save – Select auto insurance companies reward you with a discounted price on car insurance if you buy some life insurance in addition to your auto policy.
  • Payment Method – By paying your entire bill at once rather than spreading payments over time you could save 5% or more.
  • Bundled Policy Discount – If you can bundle your auto and homeowners insurance with the same company you could save as much as 10 to 15 percent.
  • Passive Restraint Discount – Factory options such as air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can receive discounts of 25 to 30%.
  • Save with More Vehicles Insured – Purchasing coverage when you have more than one vehicle on one policy can reduce the rates for all insured vehicles.
  • Switch and Save Discount – A few larger companies allow discounts for buying a new policy before your current expiration date. It can save you around 10%.
  • Low Miles Discount – Driving fewer miles may allow you to get better prices on cars that stay parked.
  • Homeowners Discount – Owning your own home or condo can help you save on auto insurance due to the fact that maintaining a home means you have a higher level of financial diligence.
  • Distant College Student Discount – Any of your kids who live away from home to go to college without a vehicle on campus may be insured at a cheaper rate.

It’s important to understand that most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. Despite the appearance that you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it’s just not the way it works.

Will just any policy work for me?

When it comes to choosing the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a perfect coverage plan. Every insured’s situation is different.

For example, these questions may help you determine if your situation will benefit from professional help.

  • How high should my uninsured/underinsured coverage be in my state?
  • Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
  • Can I make deliveries for my home business?
  • Does my policy pay for OEM or aftermarket parts?
  • Does liability extend to a camper or trailer?
  • What discounts do I qualify for?
  • Why am I be forced to buy a membership to get insurance from some companies?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.

What car insurance coverages do you need?

Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Comprehensive car insurance – This coverage covers 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 insurance covers things like hitting a bird, theft, hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and falling objects. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage – This covers damage to your Lancer Sportback resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, rolling your car, backing into a parked car, driving through your garage door and hitting a parking meter. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability coverage – Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage protects against things such as funeral expenses, pain and suffering, medical expenses, loss of income and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Coverage for medical expenses – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for bills for things like dental work, rehabilitation expenses and hospital visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
