Car insurance can cost a lot, but there could be available discounts that many people don’t even know exist. A few discounts will automatically apply at the time you complete a quote, but a few need to be requested specifically before they will apply. If you’re not getting every credit available, you are throwing money away.
Keep in mind that some credits don’t apply to the entire policy premium. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies don’t profit that way. Any qualifying discounts will reduce your overall premium however.
