Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

Car insurance companies don't list all available discounts in a way that's easy to find, so we took the time to find some of the more common and also the lesser-known discounts you could be receiving. If you aren't receiving every discount possible, you are throwing money away.

  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Low mileage vehicles can earn a substantially lower rate.
  • Clubs and Organizations - Belonging to a civic or occupational organization may earn a discount when buying car insurance.
  • Service Members Pay Less - Being deployed with a military unit could be rewarded with lower premiums.
  • Auto/Home Discount - If you have multiple policies with one company you may save at least 10% off all policies.
  • Discount for Good Grades - Performing well in school can earn a discount of 20% or more. This discount can apply up until you turn 25.
  • New Car Discount - Adding a new car to your policy is cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Theft Prevention Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems help deter theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Multiple Cars - Buying insurance for all your vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • Life Insurance Discount - Select insurance companies reward you with better rates if you take out life insurance.

Consumers should know that some credits don't apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like liability and collision coverage. So when it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies don't profit that way.

Save $429 a year? Really?

Consumers get pounded daily by advertisements that promise big savings by 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm. All the companies have a common claim that you'll save big if you change to their company.

How can each company make the same claim? It's all in the numbers.

Insurance companies are able to cherry pick for the driver that earns them a profit. For example, a profitable customer could be between the ages of 40 and 55, has no driving citations, and has excellent credit. A customer that hits that "sweet spot" will qualify for the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to save when they switch companies.

Consumers who don't qualify for the requirements must pay higher prices and this can result in business going elsewhere. The ad wording is "customers who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that much. That's the way companies can make those claims. This illustrates why you should get as many comparisons as possible. Because you never know which car insurance company will have the lowest rates.

In the end, you save

Discount car insurance can be sourced from both online companies and also from your neighborhood Blackfoot agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and usually these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through local independent agents.

Drivers leave their current company for a variety of reasons including delays in responding to claim requests, questionable increases in premium, unfair underwriting practices and even policy non-renewal. No matter why you want to switch, finding a new car insurance company is less work than it seems.

While you're price shopping online, it's not a good idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are a lot of situations where someone sacrificed physical damage coverage only to discover later they didn't purchase enough coverage. The proper strategy is to get the best coverage possible at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.
