Are you getting all your discounts?

Car insurance companies don't list all their discounts in an easy-to-find place, so the following is a list of some of the more common and the harder-to-find car insurance savings.

55 and Retired - Mature drivers may be able to get a small decrease in premiums.
Payment Method - If you pay your bill all at once instead of paying each month you could save up to 5%.
Discount for Life Insurance - Some companies give lower rates if you buy life insurance from them.
Driver Safety - Taking a driver safety course could save 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
Anti-theft System - Anti-theft and alarm systems can help prevent theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
Memberships - Belonging to certain professional organizations could qualify you for a break on car insurance.
Claim Free - Claim-free drivers pay less as compared to bad drivers.
Lower Rates for Military - Having a deployed family member may qualify for rate reductions.
Good Students Pay Less - A discount for being a good student can save 20 to 25%. The good student discount can last well after school through age 25.
One Accident Forgiven - A few companies will allow you to have one accident before raising your premiums as long as you don't have any claims for a certain period of time.

Keep in mind that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears you could get a free car insurance policy, it just doesn't work that way.

Fast and Easy Emerson Car Insurance Quotes

Most companies such as Progressive, GEICO, Allstate and State Farm allow you to get price estimates directly from their websites. Getting quotes is quite simple as you just type in the amount of coverage you want as detailed in the form. Once you submit the form, their rating system will obtain reports for credit and driving violations and gives you a price quote based on many factors. Online price quotes streamlines rate comparisons, but the process of having to visit several different sites and complete many quote forms is monotonous and tiresome. But it's very important to compare as many rates as possible in order to find the best price on car insurance.

The preferred way to find cheaper rates is to use a quote form that gets price quotes from a bunch of companies at once. The form is fast, helps eliminate reptitive entry, and makes rate comparisons much easier to do. As soon as the form is sent, it is rated and you can select any of the price quotes you receive. If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you can click and sign and purchase the new policy. The entire process can be completed in less than 10 minutes and may save quite a bit of money.

How can Progressive, GEICO, Allstate and State Farm save drivers who switch?

Car insurance companies such as Progressive, GEICO, Allstate and State Farm continually stream ads on television and other media. They all seem to say the same thing that you can save after switching your coverage to them. How do they all make the same claim? This is how they do it.

Different companies can use profiling for the type of customer that is profitable for them. A good example of a desirable insured could be over the age of 40, has no tickets, and chooses high deductibles. Any new insured who fits that profile will get the preferred rates and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.

Drivers who are not a match for the "perfect" profile will have to pay higher premiums which usually ends up with business going elsewhere. The ads state "drivers who switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much money. That's why insurance companies can state the savings. Because of the profiling, drivers must compare as many rates as you can. It's just too difficult to predict the company that will give you the biggest savings.

The best insurance company isn't always the cheapest

When buying insurance coverage, you should never reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are many occasions where an insured dropped full coverage and found out when filing a claim that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price.

Affordable car insurance can be purchased from both online companies as well as from independent agents in Emerson, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance companies don't offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these small insurance companies sell through independent agents.
