Don’t pay full price with these discounts

The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but you may find discounts to reduce the price significantly. Some trigger automatically at the time you complete a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be asked about prior to receiving the credit.

  • Lower Rates for Military – Having a deployed family member may qualify for rate reductions.
  • Resident Student – Youth drivers living away from home attending college and don’t have a car can be insured at a reduced rate.
  • Payment Method – If paying your policy premium upfront instead of making monthly payments you can actually save on your bill.
  • Student Driver Training – Have your child complete a driver education course in school.
  • Sign Early and Save – Some insurance companies reward drivers for switching to them prior to your current policy expiring. It can save you around 10%.
  • Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could cut 10% or more on the medical payments or PIP coverage costs.
  • Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags or automatic seat belts may earn rate discounts of up to 25% or more.

Keep in mind that most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Even though it may seem like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you’re out of luck. Any qualifying discounts will reduce your overall premium however.

Insurance companies that possibly offer these discounts include:

It’s a good idea to ask each insurance company what discounts are available to you. Discounts may not be available in your area.

Compare the Market for Car Insurance

Shopping for lower car insurance rates can be a lot of work if you aren’t aware of the most efficient way to do it. You could waste a few hours talking to agents in your area, or you could use the web to maximize your effort.

Many insurance companies are enrolled in a marketplace where prospective buyers submit one quote, and each company can provide price quotes based on that information. This eliminates the need for quotation requests for each company.

The only downside to using this type of system is buyers cannot specifically choose which providers you want pricing from. So if you want to choose from a list of companies for rate comparison, we have assembled a list of companies who write car insurance in your area. Click here to view list.

Whichever method you choose, ensure you’re using identical information on every quote. If you enter higher or lower deductibles you can’t possibly truly determine the lowest rate. Just a small difference in limits can mean a large discrepancy in price. And when quoting car insurance, remember that more quotes helps you find the best price.

Your personal situation dictates your coverage

When choosing adequate coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different and your policy should reflect that. These are some specific questions might point out if your situation might need an agent’s assistance.

  • Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
  • What happens if I owe more than my 1991 Audi 80 is worth?
  • Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
  • Can I rate high risk drivers on liability-only vehicles?
  • What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?
  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
  • What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
  • Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?

If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find 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.

Specific coverage details

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. These are typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.

Collision coverage

This covers damage to your 80 resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims like damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail, hitting a parking meter, crashing into a building and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability

This provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for things such as funeral expenses, medical expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, pain and suffering and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for expenses for things like dental work, surgery, EMT expenses, ambulance fees and rehabilitation expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Usually these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hitting a bird, hail damage, fire damage, damage from flooding and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Shop. Compare. Save.

You just read a lot of techniques to save on 1991 Audi 80 insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more providers you compare, the better chance you’ll have of finding lower rates. You may even discover the biggest savings come from an unexpected company. These companies can often provide lower rates in certain areas than the large multi-state companies such as Allstate, Geico and Progressive.

Budget-conscious insurance can be sourced online and with local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some insurance providers do not offer the ability to get a quote online and usually these small insurance companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you restructure your insurance plan, it’s very important that you do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are a lot of situations where someone dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits only to discover later they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The aim is to get the best coverage possible at a price you can afford while not skimping on critical coverages.
