Don’t miss out on these five money-saving discounts

Companies offering auto insurance don’t list every available discount in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list some of the best known and the more hidden insurance coverage savings. If you aren’t receiving every discount possible, you’re just leaving money on the table.

  • Service Members Pay Less – Having a deployed family member may qualify for rate reductions.
  • One Accident Forgiven – A handful of insurance companies will forgive one accident before your rates go up if you are claim-free prior to the accident.
  • Drivers Education – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to complete a driver education course in school.
  • Multiple Policy Discount – When you combine your home and auto insurance with one insurance company you may earn at least 10% off all policies.
  • Employee of Federal Government – Active or retired federal employment may qualify you for a discount on H2 coverage with select insurance companies.

Keep in mind that some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. Most only apply to individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Do I need special coverages?

When buying the right insurance coverage, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is unique and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For instance, these questions may help you determine if you would benefit from professional advice.

  • What can I do if my company denied a claim?
  • Am I covered if I break a side mirror?
  • How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
  • Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
  • Do I need more liability coverage?
  • Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
  • Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 2009 HUMMER H2 is totaled?
  • How much underlying liability do I need for an umbrella policy?
  • What is PIP insurance?
  • Is a new car covered when I drive it off the dealer lot?

Car insurance 101

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on the average insurance policy.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a deer, rock chips in glass, vandalism and falling objects. The most your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your H2 resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things such as driving through your garage door, crashing into a building and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for medical expenses

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses for hospital visits, X-ray expenses, chiropractic care and rehabilitation expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Liability

This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see values of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability can pay for claims such as pain and suffering, emergency aid and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
