Policy discounts you shouldn’t miss

Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but you can get discounts to cut the cost considerably. Some discounts apply automatically at the time of purchase, but a few need to be inquired about before being credited. If you aren’t receiving every discount possible, you are paying more than you should be.

  • Driver’s Ed – Have your child complete a driver education course in school.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Having a family member in the military may qualify for rate reductions.
  • Use Seat Belts – Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to use a seat belt can save 10% or more off your medical payments premium.
  • Life Insurance Discount – Companies who offer life insurance give a discount if you purchase life insurance from them.
  • Federal Employees – Simply working for the federal government may qualify you for a discount for H3 coverage with a few insurance coverage companies.
  • Drive Safe and Save – Safe drivers can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates for H3 coverage than drivers with accident claims.
  • Auto/Home Discount – If you have multiple policies with one insurance company you may earn at least 10% off all policies.
  • No Accidents – Claim-free drivers pay much less when compared to frequent claim filers.

Consumers should know that most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because you may think all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies wouldn’t make money that way. But any discount will help reduce your premiums.

What insurance coverages do you need?

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the normal coverages available from insurance companies.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your H3 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter, rolling your car and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Auto liability

Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for claims such as court costs, funeral expenses, loss of income, repair costs for stationary objects and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 2007 HUMMER H3.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Normally these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism and falling objects. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills such as hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits and funeral costs. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
