Are you getting all your discounts?

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but you may find discounts to help offset the cost. Certain discounts will be applied when you quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be manually applied before being credited. If they aren’t giving you every credit possible, you are throwing money away.

• No Claims – Good drivers with no accidents pay much less when compared to drivers who are more careless.
• Anti-theft System – Vehicles with anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and will save you 10% or more.
• Safety Course Discount – Successfully completing a course teaching defensive driving skills could save 5% or more if you qualify.
• Low Mileage Discounts – Fewer annual miles on your Lexus can earn discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
• Senior Citizens – Mature drivers can possibly qualify for a discount up to 10% for SC 430 coverage.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like adding up those discounts means a free policy, it doesn’t quite work that way. But any discount will reduce the cost of coverage.

Tailor your coverage to you

When buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Every situation is different.

For example, these questions could help you determine if your situation might need professional guidance.

• What are the financial responsibility laws in my state?
• Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?
• Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
• Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
• Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
• When would I need rental car insurance?
• Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
• Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
• Can I make deliveries for my home business?

If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form. It’s fast, free and may give you better protection.

Coverages available on your policy

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Another option is a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as loss of income, structural damage and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2003 Lexus SC 430.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, rock chips in glass and hail damage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills like chiropractic care, ambulance fees and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your SC 430 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a building, driving through your garage door, colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
