How much can you save with discounts?

Auto insurance companies don't list all available discounts very well, so the following is a list of some of the best known as well as the least known ways to save on auto insurance.

  • Memberships - Affiliation with a professional or civic organization could trigger savings when buying auto insurance.
  • No Accidents - Claim-free drivers pay less when compared with bad drivers.
  • One Accident Forgiven - Some insurance companies will forgive one accident before raising your premiums so long as you haven't had any claims prior to the accident.
  • Passive Restraint Discount - Vehicles equipped with air bags can receive discounts of up to 25% or more.
  • Payment Method - If paying your policy premium upfront instead of paying each month you may reduce your total bill.
  • Senior Discount - Mature drivers may be able to get better auto insurance rates.
  • Driver Safety - Completing a course teaching defensive driving skills could save 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Fewer annual miles could qualify for better rates on cars that stay parked.

Consumers should know that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. A few only apply to individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because you may think it's possible to get free car insurance, companies don't profit that way.
