As a disclaimer on discounts, some credits don’t apply to the overall cost of the policy. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because you may think you could get a free insurance coverage policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.
Insurance companies that possibly offer these discounts are:

Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are typical coverages found on most car insurance policies.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Volkswagen Jetta GLI.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
Collision insurance
This will pay to fix damage to your Jetta GLI caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for claims like backing into a parked car, sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with a tree, damaging your car on a curb and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like rock chips in glass, hail damage and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Liability car insurance
Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover 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 might see policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers claims like medical services, funeral expenses, legal defense fees, emergency aid and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills like nursing services, surgery, dental work and prosthetic devices. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
