More discounts equal less premium

Companies offering auto insurance don't list every discount in a way that's easy to find, so we researched both well-publicized and the more hidden ways to save on auto insurance.

  • Government Employees - Being employed by or retired from a federal job can save as much as 8% with a few auto insurance companies.
  • Save over 55 - Mature drivers can possibly qualify for better auto insurance rates.
  • No Accidents - Drivers who don't have accidents pay much less when compared to bad drivers.
  • Drivers Ed for Students - Have your child successfully complete driver's ed class in high school.
  • Low Mileage Discounts - Keeping the miles down could be rewarded with better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Own a Home - Simply owning a home may earn you a small savings because of the fact that having a home shows financial diligence.
  • Service Members Pay Less - Having a family member in the military can result in better rates.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems help deter theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Paperwork-free - Certain companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks for buying a policy and signing up digitally online.
  • Defensive Driving Course - Completing a course in driver safety could cut 5% off your bill and easily recoup the cost of the course.

Drivers should understand that most discount credits are not given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like it's possible to get free car insurance, companies wouldn't make money that way.

How to Buy Daniels Auto Insurance Online

Most companies give coverage prices online. Getting online rates is quite simple as you simply type in your coverage information into the quote form. Once you submit the form, the company's rating system will obtain credit information and your driving record and returns a price quote based on these factors.

Online quotes helps simplify price comparisons, but the process of having to visit each company's website and repetitively enter the same data into a form can be a bit repetitive. Unfortunately, it is important to perform this step in order to get a lower rate.

The preferred way to locate the lowest prices uses one simple form to obtain quotes from several different companies. It's a real time-saver, eliminates form submissions, and makes online quotes much more enjoyable. After sending the form, your coverage is rated and you are able to buy your choice of the price quotes you receive. If the quotes result in lower rates, you can click and sign and buy the policy. This process can be completed in a matter of minutes and you will know how your current rates stack up.

To save time and find out how much you're overpaying now, click here and submit your coverage information. If you have coverage now, it's recommended you enter the coverage information just like they are on your policy. This makes sure you will have comparison quotes based on the exact same insurance coverage.

Good Decisions Result in Lower Rates

An important part of buying insurance is that you know the rating factors that come into play when calculating the price you pay for auto insurance. Having a good understanding of what controls the rates you pay enables informed choices that will entitle you to lower auto insurance prices.

The list below includes a partial list of the pieces auto insurance companies consider when setting prices.

  • Rates may be higher depending on your occupation - Careers like judges, executives and dentists tend to have the highest average rates attributed to stressful work requirements and lengthy work days. Other jobs such as pilots, historians and the unemployed receive lower rates.
  • Men fork out a little more - Statistics have proven women are more cautious behind the wheel. However, don't assume that men are worse drivers. Women and men cause accidents in similar numbers, but the men cause more damage and cost insurance companies more money. Men also statistically have more aggressive citations such as DWI and reckless driving.
  • Special features that cut premiums - Purchasing a vehicle that has an advanced theft prevention system can help bring down rates. Anti-theft devices such as tamper alarm systems, vehicle immobilizer technology and General Motors OnStar all aid in stopping your vehicle from being stolen.
  • Discounts for married couples - Having a wife or husband actually saves money on your auto insurance policy. Having a significant other means you're more mature than a single person and it's statistically proven that married drivers get in fewer accidents.
  • Discounts for multiple policies - The majority of auto insurance companies provide better rates to customers who buy several policies from them such as combining an auto and homeowners policy. Discounts can amount to ten or even up to twenty percent in some cases. Even though this discount sounds good, you may still want to compare rates to ensure the best deal.

It's not one size fits all

When choosing the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Each situation is unique.

Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine if you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
  • Is rental equipment covered for theft or damage?
  • Is my vehicle covered for flood damage?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?

If it's difficult to answer those questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form.

Switch companies and save? Really?

Auto insurance providers like Progressive, Allstate and GEICO regularly use ads in print and on television. They all make the same claim that you'll save big if you move to their company. How can each company make almost identical claims?

All companies have a preferred profile for the driver that is profitable for them. For instance, a driver they prefer could possibly be a mature driver, insures multiple vehicles, and has a short commute. A driver who matches those parameters is entitled to the best price and therefore will save when they switch companies.

Potential customers who do not match the requirements will be quoted a higher premium which leads to the driver buying from a lower-cost company. The ads state "people who switch" not "everyone that quotes" save that much. This is how companies can make the claims of big savings. This emphasizes why drivers must get a wide range of price quotes. It is impossible to predict which insurance companies will fit your personal profile best.

Affordable insurance is out there

Insureds who switch companies do it for many reasons like high rates after DUI convictions, denial of a claim, extreme rates for teen drivers or an unsatisfactory settlement offer. It doesn't matter why you want to switch finding the right auto insurance provider is actually quite simple.

As you shop your coverage around, it's not a good idea to reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are too many instances where drivers have reduced collision coverage and learned later that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. Your strategy should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at an affordable rate while still protecting your assets.

Budget-conscious auto insurance is definitely available online and also from your neighborhood Daniels agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance providers may not provide the ability to get a quote online and these small, regional companies work with independent agents.
