Cut your insurance rates with discounts

Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but you may find discounts to cut the cost considerably. Some trigger automatically at quote time, but less common discounts must be asked about before you get the savings.

• Discount for Good Grades – Performing well in school can earn a discount of 20% or more. This discount can apply up until you turn 25.
• Anti-lock Brakes – Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems prevent accidents and earn discounts up to 10%.
• Anti-theft System – Cars that have factory anti-theft systems help deter theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
• Discount for New Cars – Buying coverage on a new vehicle can be considerably cheaper due to better safety requirements for new cars.
• Discount for Life Insurance – Some companies give a break if you buy a life insurance policy as well.
• Drive Less and Save – Driving fewer miles could qualify for better rates on cars that stay parked.
• Sign Early and Save – Some insurance companies reward drivers for switching to them before your current policy expires. It can save you around 10%.

Drivers should understand that most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. Even though it may seem like you could get a free insurance policy, insurance companies aren’t that generous. Any qualifying discounts will help reduce the cost of coverage.

The coverage is in the details

Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on most auto insurance policies.

Coverage for collisions

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

Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a ditch, damaging your car on a curb and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses for pain medications, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices and doctor visits. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability car insurance

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims like legal defense fees, medical expenses, structural damage and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Chevy Avalanche.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive auto insurance

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as hail damage, rock chips in glass and theft. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
