Discounts can save BIG

Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but you can get discounts to cut the cost considerably. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied when you get a quote, but some must be asked about prior to receiving the credit. If you’re not getting every credit possible, you are paying more than you should be.

• Driver Safety – Successfully completing a driver safety course could possibly earn you a 5% discount depending on where you live.
• Passive Restraint Discount – Vehicles equipped with air bags or automatic seat belts may earn rate discounts of more than 20%.
• Homeowners Discount – Being a homeowner may trigger a car insurance policy discount because of the fact that having a home is proof that your finances are in order.
• Use Seat Belts – Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could cut 10% or more off your PIP or medical payments premium.
• Discount for New Cars – Putting insurance coverage on a new car is cheaper due to better safety requirements for new cars.
• E-sign – Some insurance companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks just for signing your application digitally online.
• Payment Discounts – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time instead of making monthly payments you can actually save on your bill.
• Early Signing – A few companies offer discounts for switching policies prior to your current policy expiring. This can save 10% or more.
• Drive Safe and Save – Drivers who don’t get into accidents may save up to 50% more on M3 coverage than drivers with accident claims.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most credits do not apply the the whole policy. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because you may think all the discounts add up to a free policy, it just doesn’t work that way. Any qualifying discounts will help reduce the cost of coverage.

Insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.

Collision – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your M3 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things like colliding with a tree, crashing into a building and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 2010 BMW M3.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like doctor visits, nursing services, pain medications, hospital visits and X-ray expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive insurance – This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass, a broken windshield and vandalism. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability coverages – Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims such as bail bonds, pain and suffering, loss of income and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.
