Cut your premium with discounts

The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but companies offer discounts to cut the cost considerably. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at quote time, but a few need to be manually applied in order for you to get them.

Auto/Home Discount – When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same insurance company you may earn up to 20% off your total premium.
Life Insurance Discount – Larger companies have a discount if you purchase auto and life insurance together.
Payment Discounts – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time rather than paying monthly you can actually save on your bill.
Anti-theft Discount – Cars that have factory anti-theft systems help deter theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
Safe Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents may receive a discount up to 45% less on CX-9 insurance than drivers with accidents.
Low Mileage Discounts – Driving fewer miles could be rewarded with better rates on cars that stay parked.

A little note about advertised discounts, many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you’re out of luck. Any amount of discount will cut your premiums.

What is the best insurance coverage?

When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Every insured’s situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For instance, these questions can aid in determining if your situation might need an agent’s assistance.

Is pleasure use cheaper than using my 2010 Mazda CX-9 to commute?
Do I have coverage if my license is suspended?
Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
Do I have coverage when making deliveries for my home business?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form or click here for a list of insurance coverage companies in your area.

Auto insurance coverages explained

Knowing the specifics of your policy can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are typical coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Auto collision coverage

This pays for damage to your CX-9 from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things such as rolling your car, sustaining damage from a pot hole and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like theft, a broken windshield, damage from getting keyed, falling objects and hail damage. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like pain medications, prosthetic devices, funeral costs and doctor visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since 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 should not be overlooked. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Coverage for liability

This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for 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. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against things such as funeral expenses, medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of income and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
