How much can you save with discounts?

Companies don't always advertise all available discounts in an easy-to-find place, so we researched both the well known and the more hidden car insurance savings.

  • Clubs and Organizations - Being a member of certain professional organizations could qualify you for a break when buying car insurance.
  • Multiple Vehicles - Buying insurance for multiple vehicles on one policy could earn a price break for each car.
  • Paperless Signup - A few companies may give you up to $50 simply for signing on their website.
  • Driver Safety - Successfully completing a defensive driving course could possibly earn you a 5% discount if you qualify.
  • Senior Citizens - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may be able to get a small decrease in premiums.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Fewer annual miles could be rewarded with lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • Student in College - Children who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle can receive lower rates.

It's important to understand that most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because you may think adding up those discounts means a free policy, it doesn't quite work that way.

Save 15 percent in 15 minutes? Is it for real?

Allstate, GEICO and Progressive continually stream television and radio advertisements. All the companies say the same thing of big savings after switching your coverage to them. How do they all claim to save you money?

Insurance companies are able to cherry pick for the type of customer that earns them a profit. For instance, a profitable customer might be a mature driver, has no driving citations, and has excellent credit. Any driver who fits that profile will qualify for the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to cut their rates substantially.

Potential insureds who don't meet the "perfect" profile must pay more money which usually ends up with the customer not buying. The ad wording is "people who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that much money. That's the way insurance companies can confidently make those claims. This illustrates why you should get a wide range of price quotes. You cannot predict which car insurance company will have the lowest rates.

The best insurance company isn't always the cheapest

Low-cost car insurance can be sourced both online as well as from independent agents in Wiggins, and you need to price shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some companies don't offer you the ability to get quotes online and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

While you're price shopping online, you should never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. In too many instances, someone sacrificed liability coverage limits only to discover later they didn't purchase enough coverage. Your focus should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at an affordable rate while not skimping on critical coverages.
