Companies that sell car insurance do not advertise all their discounts very well, so we researched some of the more common as well as the least known ways to save on insurance coverage.
It’s important to understand that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Some only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Even though it may seem like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it doesn’t quite work that way.
Insurance companies that may have some of the above discounts include:
Before buying, ask all companies you are considering what discounts are available to you. All car insurance discounts might not be offered in every state.
When buying adequate coverage, there really is no one size fits all plan. Every insured’s situation is different.
For instance, these questions might point out if your insurance needs might need professional guidance.
If you’re not sure about those questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.
Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like theft, damage from getting keyed and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Infiniti G37.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.
Liability auto insurance
Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability can pay for claims such as attorney fees, medical services, funeral expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
Medical expense insurance
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for expenses such as surgery, doctor visits, pain medications, funeral costs and prosthetic devices. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Collision insurance
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things like hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox, colliding with a tree and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Your focus should be to buy the best coverage you can find at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.
