These discounts can lower your rates

Companies offering auto insurance don't always list every discount in a way that's easy to find, so the following is a list of some of the more common as well as the least known car insurance savings.

  • Federal Employees - Being employed by or retired from a federal job may qualify you for a discount with a few car insurance companies.
  • Good Student - A discount for being a good student can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. The good student discount can last up until you turn 25.
  • Memberships - Belonging to a civic or occupational organization could qualify you for a break when shopping for car insurance.
  • Passive Restraint Discount - Cars that have air bags or motorized seat belts can qualify for discounts of up to 25% or more.
  • Multiple Cars - Buying coverage for all your vehicles on the same car insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Accident Forgiveness - A handful of insurance companies will forgive one accident before raising your premiums if your claims history is clear for a particular time prior to the accident.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Larger companies have better rates if you take out auto and life insurance together.

It's important to understand that most credits do not apply to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it doesn't quite work that way.

Different people need different coverages

When choosing coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and a cookie cutter policy won't apply. For instance, these questions may help highlight whether you might need an agent's assistance.

  • Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
  • Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?
  • Do I qualify for additional discounts?
  • Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, simply complete this short form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
