Are you getting all your discounts?

Car insurance companies don't list all available discounts in an easy-to-find place, so we researched both the well known and also the lesser-known auto insurance savings.

  • Driver Safety - Completing a defensive driving course can save you 5% or more if you qualify.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Anti-theft and alarm systems can help prevent theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Paperless Signup - Certain companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy on their website.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Fewer annual miles could be rewarded with lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • Accident Forgiveness - A few companies allow you one accident before your rates go up so long as you haven't had any claims prior to the accident.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Companies who offer life insurance give lower rates if you buy a life insurance policy as well.
  • Multiple Vehicles - Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost.

You have some control over your rates

Smart consumers have a good feel for some of the elements that help determine the rates you pay for auto insurance. Understanding what impacts premium levels enables informed choices that could result in lower auto insurance prices.

The following are a partial list of the pieces auto insurance companies consider when setting premiums.

  • Little extras can really add up - There are a ton of additional coverages that you can get tricked into buying when buying auto insurance. Coverages like rental car reimbursement, accidental death and term life insurance are examples of these. These may sound like a good investment initially, but if they're wasting money get rid of them and save.
  • Do you qualify for a multi-policy discount? - Many companies will award you with lower prices to insureds who consolidate policies with them. It's known as a multi-policy discount. Discounts can amount to anywhere from five to ten percent in most cases. Even if you're getting this discount it's still a good idea to compare other company rates to ensure the best deal.
  • Marriage pays dividends - Having a wife or husband can get you a discount when buying auto insurance. Having a spouse means you're more responsible and statistics show married couples file fewer claims.
  • Please use or commuting - Driving more miles each year the more you'll pay to insure your vehicle. Most insurance companies charge to insure your cars based upon how you use the vehicle. Vehicles left parked in the garage receive lower rates than vehicles that are driven to work every day. Make sure your auto insurance coverage is showing the proper vehicle usage, because improper ratings can cost you money.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to buying the best auto insurance coverage for your vehicles, there is no perfect coverage plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else's.

For instance, these questions might point out whether you might need an agent's assistance.

  • Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • Does my personal policy cover me when driving my company car?
  • Is my vehicle covered for flood damage?
  • 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?
  • Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

How can 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm save drivers who switch?

21st Century, Allstate and State Farm continually stream ads on television and other media. All the companies say the same thing about savings after switching to their company. How do they all claim to save you money? It's all in the numbers.

All companies have a certain "appetite" for the driver that earns them a profit. For instance, a profitable customer might be between the ages of 30 and 50, owns a home, and has a high credit rating. A customer getting a price quote who fits that profile gets the lowest rates and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.

Potential customers who are not a match for the "perfect" profile must pay higher prices which usually ends up with the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "customers who switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much. That is how companies can truthfully state the savings. This illustrates why drivers should compare as many rates as you can. It's impossible to know which company will have the lowest rates.

The best insurance company isn't always the cheapest

The cheapest auto insurance can be sourced both online and also from your neighborhood Rossmoor agents, and you should compare price quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you restructure your insurance plan, you should never skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are a lot of situations where an insured cut collision coverage and learned later that they should have had better coverage. The proper strategy is to buy the best coverage you can find at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.

Consumers change insurance companies for a variety of reasons including questionable increases in premium, policy cancellation, an unsatisfactory settlement offer and even delays in responding to claim requests. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new auto insurance company is less work than it seems.
