Save big with these discounts

The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but there are discounts available that you may not even be aware of. Certain discounts will be applied when you get a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be manually applied before being credited.

  • Low Mileage Discounts – Driving fewer miles can qualify you for lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • Discount for Swiching Early – Some companies give discounts for switching to them before your current expiration date. The savings is around 10%.
  • Drivers Education – Require your teen driver to successfully complete driver’s ed class in school.
  • Multi-car Discount – Buying coverage for more than one vehicle on one policy could earn a price break for each car.
  • Auto/Life Discount – Select insurance companies reward you with a discount if you purchase life insurance from them.
  • Theft Prevention System – Cars that have factory anti-theft systems help deter theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • One Accident Forgiven – A few companies allow you one accident before hitting you with a surcharge if you are claim-free for a certain period of time.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given the the whole policy. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. Even though it may seem like all the discounts add up to a free policy, insurance companies aren’t that generous. Any amount of discount will bring down your overall premium however.

A partial list of companies that may have these discounts may include but are not limited to:

It’s a good idea to ask every prospective company which discounts they offer. Discounts might not apply in your area.

Car insurance 101

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Liability car insurance

This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims such as bail bonds, attorney fees, structural damage, legal defense fees and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as hitting a bird, falling objects and rock chips in glass. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with a tree, crashing into a building, sideswiping another vehicle and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for 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, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Usually these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for expenses like prosthetic devices, surgery, hospital visits and EMT expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

The bottom line

You just learned many ways to lower your 2012 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet insurance rates. The most important thing to understand is the more price quotes you have, the higher the chance of saving money. You may even find the biggest savings come from some of the lesser-known companies. Regional companies can often insure niche markets at a lower cost compared to the large companies like GEICO and State Farm.

Low-cost insurance can be sourced online as well as from independent agents, and you need to price shop both to get a complete price analysis. There are still a few companies who don’t offer online price quotes and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.
