These discounts can lower your rates

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but you may find discounts to cut the cost considerably. Certain discounts will be applied when you complete an application, but lesser-known reductions have to be inquired about before they will apply. If you don't get every credit you deserve, you are throwing money away.

Multiple Vehicles - Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
Auto/Life Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give a break if you buy auto and life insurance together.
Student in College - Any of your kids who live away from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle can be insured at a reduced rate.
Theft Prevention System - Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems are stolen less frequently and earn discounts up to 10%.
Accident Waiver - Some insurance companies allow you one accident before your rates go up so long as you haven't had any claims for a particular time prior to the accident.
Braking Control Discount - Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes can reduce accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
Auto/Home Discount - If you have multiple policies with one insurance company you could get a discount of approximately 10% to 15%.

A little note about advertised discounts, many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will help reduce the cost of coverage.

Different people need different coverages

When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Every situation is different.

For instance, these questions can help discover whether you might need an agent's assistance.

Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
What are New Jersey no-fault laws?
Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?
Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?

If it's difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form. It's fast, doesn't cost anything and you can get the answers you need.

Are you falling for claims of savings?

Consumers in New Jersey get pounded daily by advertisements for car insurance savings by companies like Allstate, GEICO and Progressive. All the companies make the same claim about savings after switching to them.

But how can every company claim to save you money? It's all in the numbers.

All the different companies have a preferred profile for the type of driver that earns them a profit. An example of a profitable customer might be between the ages of 30 and 50, has no prior claims, and has great credit. A customer getting a price quote who matches those parameters will qualify for the lowest rates and as a result will probably save a lot of money.

Consumers who are not a match for this ideal profile must pay higher rates which leads to the customer not buying. The ad wording is "customers who switch" not "everybody who quotes" save money. This is how companies can truthfully advertise the savings.

This illustrates why you should quote coverage with many companies. It's impossible to know which insurance companies will fit your personal profile best.

And the best car insurance company is...

The cheapest auto insurance can be bought both online and with local Magnolia insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to get a complete price analysis. There are still a few companies who do not offer you the ability to get quotes online and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

When you buy insurance online, do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. In too many instances, consumers will sacrifice comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your focus should be to get the best coverage possible at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.

Insureds change insurance companies for a variety of reasons including lack of trust in their agent, delays in paying claims, not issuing a premium refund and even policy cancellation. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new auto insurance company is less work than it seems.
