Be sure to get all your discounts

Auto insurance companies don’t always list all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we break down both the well known and the more hidden car insurance savings. If you aren’t receiving every discount you deserve, you’re paying more than you need to.

  • Homeowners Savings – Owning a home may earn you a small savings because owning a home demonstrates responsibility.
  • Auto/Home Discount – When you have multiple policies with the same insurance company you may save at least 10% off all policies.
  • No Claims – Claim-free drivers can earn big discounts when compared to frequent claim filers.
  • Multiple Vehicles – Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • Seat Belt Usage – Requiring all passengers to use their safety belts can save up to 15% off your PIP or medical payments premium.

It’s important to note that most credits do not apply to the entire policy premium. Most cut individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because you may think adding up those discounts means a free policy, you won’t be that lucky.

Insurance coverage options for a 2014 Ford F-450 Super Duty

Knowing the specifics of your policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are typical coverages offered by insurance companies.

Collision coverages – Collision coverage covers damage to your F-450 Super Duty caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things like colliding with a tree, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a mailbox, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, hail damage, damage from getting keyed and rock chips in glass. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Ford F-450 Super Duty.

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 important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for liability – This will cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. This insurance 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. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things such as funeral expenses, loss of income, structural damage and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like dental work, surgery, hospital visits and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
