Lower rates by qualifying for discounts

Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but discounts can save money and there are some available that many people don’t even know exist. A few discounts will automatically apply when you purchase, but some may not be applied and must be specially asked for prior to getting the savings.

Theft Prevention Discount – Vehicles with anti-theft systems prevent vehicle theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
Multiple Vehicles – Buying coverage for multiple vehicles with the same company may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
Passive Restraint Discount – Factory air bags or automatic seat belts may earn rate discounts of more than 20%.
Drive Safe and Save – Drivers who don’t get into accidents may save up to 50% more for Tahoe Hybrid insurance than drivers with accidents.
Employee of Federal Government – Active or retired federal employment can save as much as 8% for Tahoe Hybrid insurance depending on your company.
Paperwork-free – Some insurance companies will give a small break for buying your policy over the internet.

It’s important to understand that most discount credits are not given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. So despite the fact that it appears adding up those discounts means a free policy, you won’t be that lucky. Any qualifying discounts will help reduce the amount you have to pay.

Companies that may have these discounts include:

It’s a good idea to ask every prospective company which discounts you may be entitled to. All car insurance discounts may not be available in every state.

Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
Are there companies who specialize in insuring high-risk drivers?
Do I need more liability coverage?
How much liability do I need to cover my assets?
Is my teen driver covered when they drive my company car?

If you’re not sure about those questions then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Auto insurance coverages explained

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are typical coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Tahoe Hybrid resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims like scraping a guard rail, hitting a parking meter and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Most of the time these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses such as nursing services, doctor visits, pain medications and rehabilitation expenses. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from flooding, fire damage and hitting a bird. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability coverages

This will cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see liability limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things like attorney fees, loss of income and funeral expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.
