How much can you save with these seven discounts?

Companies offering auto insurance don't always publicize all available discounts very clearly, so the following is a list of some of the more common as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving.

  • Driver Safety - Successfully completing a driver safety course can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Good Student - A discount for being a good student can earn a discount of 20% or more. The good student discount can last well after school through age 25.
  • Paperless Signup - A few companies will give a small break just for signing your application over the internet.
  • Student in College - Youth drivers living away from home attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle can receive lower rates.
  • Theft Prevention Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems prevent vehicle theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • Accident Forgiveness - Certain companies will forgive one accident before raising your premiums so long as you haven't had any claims for a set time period.
  • Auto/Home Discount - When you combine your home and auto insurance with one company you may earn at least 10% off all policies.

Keep in mind that some of the credits will not apply to the entire policy premium. Some only apply to individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. Just because you may think all the discounts add up to a free policy, it just doesn't work that way.

  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in Mississippi?
  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • What are Mississippi no-fault laws?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
