Save big with these discounts

Car insurance companies do not advertise every available discount very clearly, so here is a list some of the more common and also the lesser-known car insurance savings. If you're not getting every credit you deserve, you're just leaving money on the table.

  • Anti-lock Brake Discount - Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems are safer to drive and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Resident Student - Children who live away from home and do not have a car may qualify for this discount.
  • Theft Prevention System - Anti-theft and alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Accident Waiver - Certain companies allow you one accident without raising rates if you are claim-free for a particular time prior to the accident.
  • Passive Restraints - Vehicles with factory air bags or automatic seat belts may earn rate discounts of 20% or more.
  • Payment Discounts - If you pay your bill all at once rather than paying monthly you could save 5% or more.
  • 55 and Retired - Older drivers may qualify for a discount up to 10%.

A little note about advertised discounts, most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. A few only apply to specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. Just because it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won't be that lucky.

But I don't know anything about car insurance

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn't really a best way to insure your cars. Every situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won't apply.

  • Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in Oklahoma?
  • What are Oklahoma no-fault laws?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?
  • Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
  • What can I do if my company won't pay a claim?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area. It's fast, free and you can get the answers you need.

A tidy conclusion

While you're price shopping online, never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. Too many times, drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage only to find out they didn't purchase enough coverage. The aim is to buy enough coverage at the best price, not the least amount of coverage.

The cheapest car insurance can be found from both online companies in addition to many Burns Flat insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some companies do not provide online quoting and many times these smaller companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
