Most companies such as GEICO, State Farm and Progressive provide prices directly from their websites. This process is quite easy as you just type in your coverage preferences as detailed in the form.

Are you getting all your discounts?

The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but there could be available discounts that can drop the cost substantially. Most are applied at quote time, but some may not be applied and must be asked about in order for you to get them.

  • Bundle and Save - When you combine your home and auto insurance with one insurance company you may earn 10% to 20% off each policy.
  • No Accidents - Good drivers with no accidents pay less as compared to bad drivers.
  • Accident Forgiveness - A few companies will forgive one accident before raising your premiums as long as you don't have any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Companies who offer life insurance give lower rates if you buy life insurance from them.
  • Defensive Driving Course - Taking a defensive driving course can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • College Student - Children living away from home attending college without a vehicle on campus can be insured at a reduced rate.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. So even though they make it sound like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, auto insurance companies aren't that generous. Any amount of discount will cut the cost of coverage.

Tailor your coverage to you

When choosing coverage for your vehicles, there is no perfect coverage plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For instance, these questions might point out whether you could use an agent's help.

  • What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
  • Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
  • Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
  • What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
  • Should I rate my vehicle as pleasure use or commute?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don't have a local agent, fill out this quick form.
