Be sure to get all your discounts

The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but there are discounts available to reduce the price significantly. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time of purchase, but some may not be applied and must be asked for prior to getting the savings.

• One Accident Forgiven – Some insurance companies allow you one accident before raising your premiums so long as you haven’t had any claims prior to the accident.
• Homeowners Savings – Owning a home can save you money because maintaining a house requires personal responsibility.
• Multiple Vehicles – Insuring multiple vehicles on the same insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
• Distant Student – Children who are attending college without a vehicle on campus can receive lower rates.
• Multiple Policy Discount – If you have multiple policies with one insurance company you may earn at least 10% off all policies.

Consumers should know that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only cut specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, companies don’t profit that way. Any qualifying discounts will cut your premiums.

How do I know if I need professional advice?

When buying coverage, there really is no “perfect” insurance plan. Each situation is unique and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine if your situation would benefit from professional advice.

• Can my teen drive my company car?
• Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• What is an SR-22 filing?
• Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
• Why am I be forced to buy a membership to get insurance from some companies?
• Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
• Should I have a commercial auto policy?

If you’re not sure about those questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverages offered by insurance companies.

Coverage for medical expenses – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses such as X-ray expenses, rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits, EMT expenses and doctor visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Collision coverages – Collision coverage covers damage to your XL-7 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail, hitting a mailbox and driving through your garage door. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Auto liability – This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property. It protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for things like structural damage, attorney fees and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive insurance – This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, falling objects and hail damage. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – This gives you protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Suzuki XL-7.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
