Take advantage of discounts

Companies that sell car insurance don't always advertise every discount very clearly, so we took the time to find both well-publicized and the harder-to-find discounts you could be receiving.

  • Payment Method - By paying your policy upfront rather than paying monthly you may reduce your total bill.
  • Distant Student - Youth drivers who attend school more than 100 miles from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle may qualify for this discount.
  • Save over 55 - Older drivers may be able to get better auto insurance rates.
  • Life Insurance Discount - Larger companies have a discount if you purchase a life insurance policy as well.
  • Accident Waiver - Certain companies will allow you to have one accident without raising rates if your claims history is clear prior to the accident.
  • Multiple Policy Discount - When you have multiple policies with the same company you could get a discount of up to 20% off your total premium.
  • No Accidents - Drivers who don't have accidents can save substantially when compared to frequent claim filers.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems prevent vehicle theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.

Consumers should know that some of the credits will not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. Even though it may seem like all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies don't profit that way.

How to know if you need help

  • What can I do if my company won't pay a claim?
  • Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver in Du Quoin?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?

Final considerations

Drivers change insurance companies for any number of reasons including unfair underwriting practices, not issuing a premium refund, denial of a claim and delays in paying claims. No matter why you want to switch, switching auto insurance companies is not as hard as you think.

When buying insurance coverage, it's very important that you do not sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There have been many situations where drivers have reduced physical damage coverage only to discover later that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The proper strategy is to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price while still protecting your assets.

Cost effective auto insurance can be bought online and also from your neighborhood Du Quoin agents, and you should compare price quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance companies may not provide online quoting and these regional insurance providers work with independent agents.
