Auto insurance companies do not list every available discount very well, so we break down some of the more common and also the lesser-known insurance savings. If you don’t get every credit possible, you’re paying more than you need to.
It’s important to understand that some credits don’t apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as comprehensive or collision. So even though it sounds like adding up those discounts means a free policy, you won’t be that lucky.
Insurance companies that may have these money-saving discounts include:
Before buying, ask every prospective company how you can save money. Savings might not be offered everywhere.

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are typical coverage types found on most insurance policies.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for nursing services, ambulance fees and EMT expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision coverage – Collision insurance pays for damage to your B-Series Pickup resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for things such as scraping a guard rail, hitting a mailbox and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Comprehensive insurance – This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like damage from flooding, hitting a deer, hail damage, theft and rock chips in glass. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
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 injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 1992 Mazda B-Series Pickup.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
Liability insurance – Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.
Liability coverage protects against claims like funeral expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
Affordable 1992 Mazda B-Series Pickup insurance can be sourced on the web in addition to many insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture. A few companies do not provide the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these small insurance companies sell through independent agents.
We just covered a lot of ways to get a better price on insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more price quotes you have, the higher your chance of finding lower rates. Consumers could even find that the lowest premiums are with a lesser-known regional company. These companies often have lower prices on specific markets than the large multi-state companies such as State Farm, Geico and Nationwide.
