Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

Car insurance companies do not advertise all their discounts in an easy-to-find place, so we break down some of the more common and the more hidden ways to save on car insurance.

  • Bundle and Save - When you have multiple policies with one company you may earn approximately 10% to 15%.
  • Air Bag Discount - Factory air bags or motorized seat belts can get savings up to 30%.
  • Accident Free - Good drivers with no accidents can save substantially as compared to frequent claim filers.
  • Defensive Driving Course - Taking part in a driver safety course can save you 5% or more depending on where you live.
  • Sign Early and Save - A few companies offer discounts for switching to them before your current policy expires. It can save you around 10%.

It's important to note that most discount credits are not given to the entire policy premium. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. So despite the fact that it appears having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you're out of luck.

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your vehicles, there is no best way to insure your cars. Each situation is unique.

For example, these questions may help highlight whether your personal situation could use an agent's help.

  • What are the best liability limits?
  • Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
  • Are there companies who specialize in insuring high-risk drivers?
  • Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
  • Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
  • Does my personal auto insurance policy cover using my vehicle for business use?

Do the work, save more money
