Are you getting all your discounts?

Companies don’t always advertise every discount in an easy-to-find place, so we break down some of the best known and the more hidden savings tricks you should be using. If they aren’t giving you every credit you deserve, you’re just leaving money on the table.

One Accident Forgiven – A few companies permit an accident before your rates go up so long as you haven’t had any claims prior to the accident.

A little note about advertised discounts, most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to individual premiums such as comprehensive or collision. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies don’t profit that way.

Before buying, ask every prospective company which discounts you may be entitled to. All car insurance discounts might not be offered in your area.

Tailor your coverage to you

Where can I find DUI or SR-22 insurance?
Do I need replacement cost coverage on my 2005 Cadillac SRX?
Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
Am I getting all the discounts available?
Am I covered by my spouse’s policy after a separation?
Is motorclub coverage worth it?

Coverage specifics

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.

Auto liability

This provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things like repair costs for stationary objects, loss of income, legal defense fees, emergency aid and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Cadillac SRX.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your SRX resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as driving through your garage door, hitting a parking meter and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, pain medications and doctor visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as damage from flooding, a broken windshield, damage from getting keyed, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hail damage. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
