These discounts can lower your rates

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but companies offer discounts that you may not know about. Some trigger automatically when you quote, but some must be specifically requested before you get the savings.

Accident Forgiveness - Certain 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 - Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
Auto/Life Discount - Select insurance companies reward you with a discount if you purchase life insurance.
No Claims - Good drivers with no accidents can earn big discounts as compared to frequent claim filers.
Payment Method - If paying your policy premium upfront rather than paying monthly you could save 5% or more.
Multiple Vehicles - Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
Braking Control Discount - Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems can reduce accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
Bundle and Save - When you have multiple policies with one insurance company you may earn at least 10% off all policies.
Drive Less and Save - Fewer annual miles can qualify you for better rates on cars that stay parked.
Passive Restraints - Factory air bags or motorized seat belts may earn rate discounts of more than 20%.

Drivers should understand that most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. So even though it sounds like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn't make money that way. But all discounts will bring down the cost of coverage.

Different people need different coverages

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn't really a one size fits all plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else's so this has to be addressed. For instance, these questions might point out whether you would benefit from an agent's advice.

Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?
Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
Am I covered when delivering products for my home-based business?
What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
Do I have any recourse if my insurance company denies a claim?

If it's difficult to answer those questions, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Affordable insurance is out there

Budget-conscious auto insurance can be sourced online in addition to many Worcester insurance agents, so you should compare both to have the best selection. Some companies do not provide online quoting and most of the time these smaller companies sell through independent agents.

While you're price shopping online, make sure you don't sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In many cases, an insured cut liability limits or collision coverage only to find out they didn't purchase enough coverage. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible at the best price.
