Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but you may find discounts to cut the cost considerably. A few discounts will automatically apply when you purchase, but some must be manually applied before being credited. If you don’t get every credit you deserve, you’re just leaving money on the table.
A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. Just because it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies don’t profit that way. Any qualifying discounts will reduce your premiums.
A partial list of companies that may offer these discounts include:
Check with all companies you are considering what discounts are available to you. Discounts may not apply in your state.

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for immediate expenses like ambulance fees, nursing services, EMT expenses, dental work and X-ray expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Coverage for liability
Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage pays for things like emergency aid, loss of income and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for things such as vandalism, theft and damage from flooding. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Collision coverage protection
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for claims like rolling your car, sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
