Be sure to get all your discounts

Companies that sell car insurance don't list every discount in an easy-to-find place, so the following is a list of both the well known as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving.

  • Student Driver Training - Cut your cost by having your teen driver successfully complete driver's ed class if offered at their school.
  • Low Mileage Discounts - Low mileage vehicles could qualify for a substantially lower rate.
  • Multiple Cars - Buying insurance for all your vehicles with the same company may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Distant Student - Youth drivers living away from home attending college and don't have a car can receive lower rates.
  • Paperwork-free - A handful of insurance companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy on their website.
  • Organization Discounts - Being a member of certain professional organizations may earn a discount when shopping for car insurance.
  • Safety Course Discount - Taking part in a defensive driving course could possibly earn you a 5% discount if your company offers it.

As a disclaimer on discounts, some of the credits will not apply the the whole policy. Most only apply to individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like all those discounts means the company will pay you, car insurance companies aren't that generous.

Is there truth in advertising?

Car insurance providers like State Farm, Allstate and GEICO consistently run television and radio advertisements. They all have a common claim about savings if you change to their company. How do they all claim to save you money?

All the different companies are able to cherry pick for the driver that makes them money. A good example of a driver they prefer might be between 25 and 40, has no tickets, and has a short commute. Any new insured that hits that "sweet spot" is entitled to the best price and is almost guaranteed to cut their rates substantially.

Potential insureds who don't measure up to the "perfect" profile will be quoted more money and this can result in the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "customers that switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that much. That's the way companies can truthfully make the claims of big savings. This emphasizes why you should get quotes from several different companies. It's just too difficult to predict which car insurance company will fit your personal profile best.
