Auto insurance companies offer lots of discounts
The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but you may find discounts that you may not even be aware of. Some discounts will apply at the time you complete a quote, but a few must be manually applied prior to receiving the credit.
- Multi-car Discount – Purchasing coverage when you have multiple cars with the same company qualifies for this discount.
- Good Student – This discount could provide a savings of up to 20% or more. Many companies even apply the discount to college students up until you turn 25.
- Safety Restraint Discount – Drivers who require all occupants to buckle up before driving can save a little off the medical payments premium.
- Braking Control Discount – Cars and trucks that have steering control and anti-lock brakes can avoid accidents so you can save 10 percent or more.
- Driver’s Ed – Have your child successfully complete driver’s ed class as it can save substantially.
- Employee of Federal Government – Active or former government employment may reduce rates when you depending on your company.
- Drive Less and Save – Keeping the miles down may enable drivers to earn substantially lower auto insurancerates.
- Senior Discount – Seniors could receive a discount up to 10%.
Discounts reduce rates, but you should keep in mind that many deductions do not apply the the whole policy. Most only cut individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you won’t be that lucky. But any discount will cut the amount you pay for coverage.

Do I just need basic coverages?
When choosing the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Every insured’s situation is different.
For example, these questions might point out if your situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.
- Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
- Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my vehicle is totaled?
- Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
- Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
- Are there companies who specialize in insuring high-risk drivers?
- Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, simply complete this short form. It only takes a few minutes and can provide invaluable advice.

Cheaper coverage is out there
Cheaper auto insurance can be purchased online and also from your neighborhood Rolette agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some companies don’t offer rate quotes online and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.
Drivers change insurance companies for many reasons like delays in paying claims, lack of trust in their agent, questionable increases in premium and not issuing a premium refund. It doesn’t matter what your reason, finding a new company is pretty easy and you might even save some money in the process.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s not a good idea to sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In too many instances, drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage to discover at claim time that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your aim should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the best possible price, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
