Car insurance companies do not advertise all available discounts very clearly, so we took the time to find some of the more common and also the lesser-known discounts you could be receiving. If you're not getting every credit you deserve, you're paying more than you need to.

  • Multiple Vehicles - Buying insurance for multiple vehicles on the same car insurance policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • Life Insurance Discount - Some companies give a discount if you purchase a life insurance policy as well.
  • Student in College - Youth drivers who attend school more than 100 miles from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle can receive lower rates.
  • Driver Safety - Completing a driver safety course could cut 5% off your bill and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Accident Waiver - Certain companies allow you one accident before raising your premiums so long as you haven't had any claims prior to the accident.
  • Early Switch Discount - Some companies give discounts for switching to them before your current expiration date. It's a savings of about 10%.
  • Anti-lock Brakes - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can reduce accidents and will save you 10% or more.
