Don't pay full price with these discounts

Companies offering auto insurance don't list all their discounts in a way that's easy to find, so we took the time to find some of the best known and also the lesser-known savings tricks you should be using. If you aren't receiving every discount you qualify for, you're just leaving money on the table.

  • Accident Forgiveness - A handful of insurance companies allow you one accident without raising rates as long as you don't have any claims for a set time period.
  • Theft Prevention Discount - Cars that have factory anti-theft systems help deter theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Homeowners Savings - Owning a house in Sibley can help you save on auto insurance due to the fact that maintaining a home is proof that your finances are in order.
  • Drivers Ed for Students - Require your teen driver to complete a driver education course if it's offered in school.
  • Payment Method - If you pay your entire premium ahead of time rather than paying monthly you may reduce your total bill.
  • College Student - Kids in college who attend school more than 100 miles from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle may be able to be covered for less.

A little note about advertised discounts, most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you won't be that lucky.

Your personal situation dictates your coverage

When it comes to choosing the right insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else's.

Here are some questions about coverages that might point out whether or not you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • What can I do if my company won't pay a claim?
  • What are Iowa no-fault laws?
  • Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?

If you're not sure about those questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form. It's fast, free and you can get the answers you need.

Best coverage at the best price

Cheaper auto insurance can be sourced on the web and also from your neighborhood Sibley agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best rate selection. There are still a few companies who may not provide online quoting and most of the time these regional insurance providers sell through independent agents.

As you prepare to switch companies, it's not a good idea to sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In many cases, an insured cut physical damage coverage only to discover later that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your aim should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at the best price.

People change insurance companies for a variety of reasons including denial of a claim, policy cancellation, an unsatisfactory settlement offer and extreme rates for teen drivers. Regardless of your reason, finding a new auto insurance company is not as hard as you think.
