Take advantage of discounts

Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but you can get discounts to reduce the price significantly. A few discounts will automatically apply at the time of purchase, but a few need to be asked for prior to receiving the credit.

  • Government Employees - Being employed by or retired from a federal job can save as much as 8% with a few car insurance companies.
  • Distant Student - Children who attend school more than 100 miles from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle may qualify for this discount.
  • New Car Discount - Insuring a new car can be considerably cheaper since new cars are generally safer.
  • Service Members Pay Less - Having a deployed family member may qualify for rate reductions.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Anti-theft and alarm systems help deter theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • Own a Home - Simply owning a home may trigger a car insurance policy discount due to the fact that maintaining a home is proof that your finances are in order.

It's important to note that most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So when it seems like it's possible to get free car insurance, you're out of luck. But any discount will reduce your overall premium however.
