Pay less by taking advantage of discounts

Companies don’t always publicize all their discounts very clearly, so the following is a list of both well-publicized and the more hidden ways to save on auto insurance.

  • Anti-theft System – Anti-theft and alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • Pay Now and Pay Less – If you pay your bill all at once instead of making monthly payments you could save 5% or more.
  • Seat Belts Save – Drivers who require all occupants to use their safety belts could cut 10% or more off your PIP or medical payments premium.
  • College Student – Kids in college living away from home attending college and do not have a car may qualify for this discount.
  • New Vehicle Savings – Insuring a new car can cost up to 25% less due to better safety requirements for new cars.
  • Sign Early and Save – Some companies give discounts for signing up prior to your current policy expiring. It can save you around 10%.
  • One Accident Forgiven – A handful of insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before raising your premiums if your claims history is clear prior to the accident.

It’s important to understand that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Most only reduce individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So when it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, it doesn’t quite work that way.

Your coverage should be tailored to you

When it comes to choosing the best insurance coverage, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s situation is unique so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether or not you might need an agent’s assistance.

  • Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
  • Does having multiple vehicles earn me a discount?
  • Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
  • Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
  • Should I waive the damage coverage when renting a car?
  • Is motorclub coverage worth it?
  • Are rental cars covered under my policy?
  • I have health insurance so do I need medical payments coverage?
  • Does car insurance cover theft of personal property?
  • When would I need additional glass coverage?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Coverages available on your policy

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists 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.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Liability auto insurance

This will cover damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers things like pain and suffering, emergency aid and funeral expenses. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as hitting a deer, damage from flooding, falling objects and theft. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills such as rehabilitation expenses, X-ray expenses, chiropractic care and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Coverage for collisions

This will pay to fix damage to your Sierra 1500 Hybrid resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers things such as crashing into a ditch, scraping a guard rail and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Save your cold hard cash

Affordable 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid insurance is possible from both online companies and with local insurance agents, so you should compare both in order to have the best chance of saving money. A few companies do not offer online quoting and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you prepare to switch companies, it’s a bad idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. In many instances, an insured cut liability coverage limits and found out when filing a claim that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible at the best price while still protecting your assets.
