Pay less by taking advantage of discounts

Auto insurance companies do not advertise every discount very well, so we took the time to find some of the more common and also the lesser-known ways to save on insurance. If you don’t get every credit available, you are throwing money away.

Payment Method – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time rather than paying monthly you could save up to 5%.
55 and Retired – If you’re over the age of 55, you may qualify for reduced rates for Jimmy insurance.
Employee of Federal Government – Being employed by or retired from a federal job could cut as much as 10% off for Jimmy insurance with a few insurance companies.
Own a Home – Owning a home may trigger a insurance policy discount because of the fact that having a home demonstrates responsibility.
Early Switch Discount – Some insurance companies reward drivers for switching to them prior to your current policy expiration. It’s a savings of about 10%.
Driver’s Ed – Require your teen driver to take driver’s ed class in high school.
Auto/Home Discount – When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same company you may save at least 10% off all policies.
Theft Prevention Discount – Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.

It’s important to note that some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. Most only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. So when the math indicates you can get free auto insurance, you won’t be that lucky.

Your coverage should be tailored to you

How much liability insurance is required?
Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
How does medical payments coverage work?

Is upholstery damage covered by car insurance?
Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
Can I rate high risk drivers on liability-only vehicles?

If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form. It’s fast, free and may give you better protection.

Information about specific coverages

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage pays for claims like funeral expenses, court costs, medical expenses and bail bonds. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills for things like funeral costs, nursing services and prosthetic devices. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hitting a deer, theft and damage from flooding. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your Jimmy resulting from a collision 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 such as crashing into a building, driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2001 GMC Jimmy.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.
