Are you getting all your discounts?

Auto insurance companies don't always advertise every available discount very well, so we took the time to find some of the best known and the harder-to-find discounts you could be receiving.

  • Anti-lock Brakes - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can avoid accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Safety Course Discount - Completing a course teaching defensive driving skills can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Multi-policy Discount - When you combine your home and auto insurance with one insurance company you may earn up to 20% off your total premium.
  • Federal Employees - Being employed by or retired from a federal job can save as much as 8% with certain companies.
  • Multiple Cars - Buying coverage for all your vehicles on the same auto insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
  • New Vehicle Savings - Adding a new car to your policy can be considerably cheaper since new cars are generally safer.
  • Seat Belt Usage - Requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts can save up to 15% off the personal injury premium cost.
  • Good Student - 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 Discount - Mature drivers may receive reduced rates.

Drivers should understand that some credits don't apply to your bottom line cost. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. Just because you may think all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies wouldn't make money that way.

Tailor your coverage to you

When choosing the right insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Every insured's situation is different.

For instance, these questions might point out whether you would benefit from an agent's advice.

  • Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
  • Does my personal auto insurance policy cover using my vehicle for business use?
  • Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
  • Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
  • Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
