And when comparison shopping, comparing a large number of companies helps locate a better price.

Be sure to get all your discounts

Car insurance can cost a lot, but discounts can save money and there are some available that you may not know about. Certain discounts will be applied when you get a quote, but a few need to be specifically requested before you will receive the discount.

  • Good Student Discount - A discount for being a good student can get you a discount of up to 25%. This discount can apply up until you turn 25.
  • Senior Citizens - Mature drivers may receive a small decrease in premiums.
  • Multiple Cars - Buying insurance for all your vehicles on the same car insurance policy could earn a price break for each car.
  • Accident Waiver - Certain companies permit an accident before raising your premiums if you are claim-free prior to the accident.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Companies who offer life insurance give a discount if you purchase a life insurance policy as well.
  • Own a Home - Being a homeowner may trigger a car insurance policy discount because maintaining a house is proof that your finances are in order.
  • E-sign - Certain companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy over the internet.
  • Resident Student - Children who attend school more than 100 miles from home and don't have a car can receive lower rates.
  • Safety Course Discount - Completing a defensive driving course could cut 5% off your bill and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Discount for Swiching Early - A few companies offer discounts for buying a policy before your current expiration date. The savings is around 10%.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. Even though it may seem like all the discounts add up to a free policy, car insurance companies aren't that generous. Any amount of discount will bring down the amount you have to pay.

How do I know if I need professional advice?

When choosing the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn't really a "best" method to buy coverage. Everyone's needs are different and a cookie cutter policy won't apply. For example, these questions may help you determine whether or not you might need an agent's assistance.

  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in Pennsylvania?
  • Am I covered by my employer's commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
  • What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
  • Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
  • Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area.
