Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

  • Anti-lock Brake Discount - Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes are safer to drive and will save you 10% or more.
  • Save over 55 - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may qualify for better auto insurance rates.
  • Homeowners Savings - Simply owning a home may trigger a auto insurance policy discount because owning a home demonstrates responsibility.
  • Drivers Education - Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to successfully complete driver's ed class in school.
  • No Accidents - Good drivers with no accidents pay less when compared to drivers who are more careless.
  • Payment Discounts - If you pay your bill all at once instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.

A little note about advertised discounts, most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. Even though it may seem like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you won't be that lucky.

  • Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
  • Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in New Jersey?
  • Am I covered by my employer's commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?

Save $429 a year? Really?

Auto insurance providers like State Farm, Allstate and GEICO constantly bombard you with television and radio advertisements. They all say the same thing about savings if you switch to their company. How does each company make almost identical claims?

All companies have a certain "appetite" for the driver that earns them a profit. A good example of a driver they prefer could possibly be over the age of 40, owns a home, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. A customer getting a price quote who fits that profile is entitled to the best price and is almost guaranteed to save when switching.

Potential insureds who don't qualify for these standards will be quoted more money which usually ends up with the driver buying from a lower-cost company. Company advertisements say "customers that switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that much. That is how companies can truthfully advertise the way they do. This emphasizes why you should get quotes from several different companies. It's impossible to know which company will provide you with the cheapest rates.
