Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

Auto insurance companies don't always publicize every discount in an easy-to-find place, so the following is a list of both the well known and the harder-to-find ways to save on car insurance.

  • Federal Employees - Being employed by or retired from a federal job could cut as much as 10% off with a few car insurance companies.
  • Theft Prevention Discount - Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems can help prevent theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Low Mileage Discounts - Low mileage vehicles could qualify for better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Multiple Cars - Buying insurance for all your vehicles on the same car insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
  • Save with a New Car - Buying coverage on a new vehicle can be considerably cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Student Driver Training - Have your child successfully complete driver's ed class if offered at their school.
  • No Claims - Good drivers with no accidents pay less when compared to bad drivers.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like adding up those discounts means a free policy, car insurance companies aren't that generous.

Insurance agents can help

When choosing coverage for your vehicles, there is no "best" method to buy coverage. Everyone's situation is unique so this has to be addressed. For example, these questions might point out whether your personal situation would benefit from an agent's advice.

  • Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
  • Does my personal auto insurance policy cover using my vehicle for business use?
  • Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
  • Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
  • Who is covered when they drive my vehicle?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?

If it's difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
