Are you getting all your discounts?

Car insurance companies don't necessarily list all available discounts in a way that's easy to find, so the following is a list of some of the more common and also the lesser-known savings tricks you should be using. If you aren't receiving every discount you qualify for, you are paying more than you should be.

Defensive Driver - Successfully completing a driver safety course can save you 5% or more if your company offers it.
Anti-lock Brake System - Vehicles equipped with ABS or steering control are safer to drive and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
Passive Restraints - Vehicles equipped with air bags or motorized seat belts can qualify for discounts up to 30%.
Service Members Pay Less - Being on active duty in the military could mean lower rates.
Good Student - This discount can earn a discount of 20% or more. The good student discount can last until age 25.

Keep in mind that most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like 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.

How can each company make the same claim? It's all in the numbers.

Insurance companies have a certain "appetite" for the driver that makes them money. A good example of a profitable customer could be between 30 and 50, owns a home, and has a high credit rating. A customer who meets those qualifications is entitled to the best price and as a result will probably save when they switch companies.

The ads state "customers who switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much. That is how insurance companies can state the savings. This illustrates why you need to get as many comparisons as possible. Because you never know which company will have the lowest rates.
