These discounts can lower your rates

Car insurance is not cheap, but there could be available discounts to reduce the price significantly. Most are applied when you quote, but a few must be requested specifically prior to receiving the credit.

  • Sign Early and Save – Some companies give discounts for switching policies prior to your current policy expiring. It can save you around 10%.
  • Multiple Policy Discount – When you have multiple policies with the same insurance company you will save at least 10% off all policies.
  • Drivers Education – Require your teen driver to successfully complete driver’s ed class if it’s offered in school.
  • Claim Free – Claim-free drivers pay less as compared to accident-prone drivers.
  • Theft Prevention Discount – Cars that have factory anti-theft systems help deter theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • Pay Upfront and Save – By paying your policy upfront instead of monthly or quarterly installments you could save 5% or more.
  • New Vehicle Savings – Adding a new car to your policy can be considerably cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Homeowners Discount – Simply owning a home may trigger a car insurance policy discount due to the fact that maintaining a home demonstrates responsibility.
  • Sign Online – Some insurance companies will give a small break for buying your policy online.
  • Discount for Life Insurance – Select insurance companies reward you with a break if you buy life insurance from them.

As a disclaimer on discounts, some credits don’t apply to the entire policy premium. A few 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, it doesn’t quite work that way. But any discount will help reduce your overall premium however.

Companies who might offer these money-saving discounts include:

It’s a good idea to ask every prospective company what discounts are available to you. Some discounts might not apply in every state.

Different people need different coverages

When choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Every situation is different.

For example, these questions might point out if your insurance needs may require specific advice.

  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
  • Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
  • Is a blown tire covered by insurance?
  • Can I make deliveries for my home business?
  • Does my personal policy cover me when driving out-of-state?
  • I don’t drive much so do I pay less?
  • How high should my medical payments coverage be?
  • Where can I find high-risk insurance?
  • Why is insurance for a teen driver so high?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form.

Insurance coverage basics

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things like vandalism, damage from getting keyed and hitting a deer. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays for damage to your 7 Series resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things like damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and damage to your 2007 BMW 7 Series.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability auto insurance – This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover 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. You might see values of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for claims such as court costs, repair costs for stationary objects and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like prosthetic devices, EMT expenses and chiropractic care. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

You can do this!

People switch companies for a number of reasons such as being labeled a high risk driver, delays in paying claims, poor customer service or delays in responding to claim requests. No matter why you want to switch, finding a new company is not as difficult as it may seem.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, never skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. In too many instances, drivers have reduced liability coverage limits only to find out that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The aim is to buy the best coverage you can find at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.

We covered a lot of techniques to get a better price on 2007 BMW 7 Series insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more you quote, the better your chances of lowering your rates. Consumers could even find that the lowest premiums are with an unexpected company.
