These discounts can lower your rates
Companies that sell car insurance don’t list all available discounts very well, so we break down some of the best known and the more hidden savings tricks you should be using.
- Student in College – Children who live away from home and do not have a car may qualify for this discount.
- More Vehicles More Savings – Insuring multiple cars or trucks on the same auto insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
- Paperless Signup – A handful of insurance companies will give a small break simply for signing on their website.
- Discount for Good Grades – Getting good grades can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. The good student discount can last until age 25.
- Anti-lock Brakes – Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes can avoid accidents and will save you 10% or more.
- Use Seat Belts – Drivers who require all occupants to use their safety belts could save 15% off your medical payments premium.
- New Car Discount – Putting insurance coverage on a new car is cheaper since new cars are generally safer.
Keep in mind that most discount credits are not given to the entire policy premium. Most cut specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. So when the math indicates adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies don’t profit that way.
Different people need different coverages
When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a cookie cutter policy. Everyone’s situation is a little different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions could help you determine whether or not you may require specific advice.
- Should I sign the liability waiver when renting a car?
- Is my vehicle covered for smoke damage?
- Does my personal policy cover me when driving my company car?
- What can I do if my company denied a claim?
- How much liability do I need to cover my assets?
- Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
- Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
- Should I buy more coverage than the required Indiana minimum liability coverage?
- I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
