Car insurance companies don’t always list every discount in a way that’s easy to find, so we researched both well-publicized as well as the least known insurance coverage savings.
Drivers should understand that many deductions do not apply the the whole policy. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So when it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you won’t be that lucky.
Car insurance companies who might offer these money-saving discounts may include but are not limited to:
Before buying, ask each company what discounts are available to you. Discounts may not be available in your area.
When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s needs are different and your policy should reflect that. For example, these questions can aid in determining if your situation might need professional guidance.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.
Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane, falling objects and hail damage. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Coverage for liability
This can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability can pay for things like medical services, pain and suffering and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2014 Scion iQ.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Collision protection
This coverage covers damage to your iQ resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage protects against claims like rolling your car, colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a building. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like surgery, X-ray expenses, hospital visits, nursing services and prosthetic devices. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
