Pay discount rates these discounts
Auto insurance is not an enjoyable expense, but there are discounts available to reduce the price significantly. Certain credits will be shown when you get a quote, but a few need to be asked for before you will receive the discount.
- Multiple Cars – Buying insurance for primary and secondary vehicles on the same auto insurance policy could earn a price break for each car.
- Claim Free – Drivers who stay claim-free can earn big discounts compared to accident-prone drivers.
- Seat Belts Save – Requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts can save up to 10 percent (depending on the company) on the premium charged for medical payments and/or PIP.
- Discount for Low Mileage – Maintaining low annual mileage could earn lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
- Buy New and Save – Buying a new car instead of a used car may earn a small discount due to better safety requirements for newer models.
- Waiver for an Accident – This one isn’t a discount, but some companies like Allstate and Progressive will allow you to have one accident before hitting you with a surcharge with the catch being you have to be claim-free prior to the accident.
- Distant College Student Discount – who attend college more than 100 miles from home and don’t have a car could get you a discount.
- Paperwork-free – Many companies will give you a small discount just for signing your application on the internet.
- Defensive Driver – Taking a safe driver course could cut 5% off your bill and easily pay for the cost of the class.
- Military Rewards – Being on active duty in the military could trigger a small discount.
As is typical with insurance, most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. Just because it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business. But all discounts will help lower your auto insurance premiums.
Insurance companies who may offer most of the discounts above include:
If you want low cost car insurance quotes, ask every insurance company how many discounts you can get. Depending on the company, some discounts may not apply to policies in your area. To find companies who offer cheap auto insurance quotes, follow this link.
How to lower your insurance costs
Many things are taken into consideration when quoting car insurance. Some factors are common sense such as traffic violations, but other factors are not as apparent like your vehicle usage or your financial responsibility.
- Improve your credit history and save – Having a bad credit rating is likely to be a major factor in calculating your insurance coverage rates. So if your credit history can use some improvement, you could pay less to insure your 1991 Volkswagen Fox by improving your credit score. Drivers who have excellent credit tend to file fewer claims and have better driving records as compared to drivers with poor credit.
- Save by driving less – Driving a lot of miles each year the higher your rates will be. A lot of companies charge rates based on how the vehicle is used. Cars and trucks used primarily for pleasure use cost less to insure than those that get driven frequently. Improper usage on your Fox can result in significantly higher rates. It’s a smart idea to ensure your insurance coverage coverage shows the proper vehicle usage.
- File a insurance claims and pay more – If you tend to file frequent claims, don’t be surprised to see increased rates or even have your policy non-renewed. Car insurance companies provide the best rates to policyholders who file claims infrequently. Insurance coverage is intended for claims that pose a financial burden.
- Rates may be lower depending on your job – Careers such as judgespolice officers and financial analysts usually pay higher premium rates due to job stress and lots of time spent away from family. On the other hand, jobs like scientists, engineers and retirees receive lower rates on Fox insurance.
- Five star IIHS safety rating saves money – Safer cars get lower rates. These vehicles reduce injuries and any reduction in injury severity translates into fewer and smaller insurance claims and thus lower rates. If your Volkswagen Fox is rated at least four stars on Safercar.gov it may be receiving lower rates.
- You may save more by bundling policies – The majority of insurers allow lower prices for people who carry more than one policy, otherwise known as a multi-policy discount. The amount of the discounts can be 10 percent or more. Even if you’re getting this discount drivers will still want to check prices from other companies to confirm you are receiving the best rates possible.
- Only buy coverage you need – There are a ton of extra add-on coverages that may not really be needed if you don’t pay attention. Insurance for things like rental car reimbursement, death and dismemberment, and membership fees may be costing you every month. They may seem good when deciding what coverages you need, but if you don’t need them remove them and pocket the money.
Special considerations
When choosing the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.
For example, these questions might help in determining if your insurance needs might need professional guidance.
- Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?
- Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
- Can my babysitter drive my car?
- Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?
- Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
- Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in my state?
- Will filing a claim cost me more?
- Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form. It’s fast, free and can help protect your family.

Specific coverages for a 1991 Volkswagen Fox
Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Liability insurance
Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage protects against claims like loss of income, bail bonds, attorney fees and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision protection
Collision coverage pays for damage to your Fox caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims such as backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism, damage from flooding and fire damage. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
UM/UIM Coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Volkswagen Fox.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Medical costs insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills like surgery, hospital visits and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Do the work, save more money
In this article, we covered many ideas to lower your 1991 Volkswagen Fox insurance rates. The most important thing to understand is the more companies you get car insurance rates for, the higher your chance of finding low cost car insurance. Drivers may discover the best price on auto insurance is with a small mutual company.
When trying to cut insurance costs, you should never buy less coverage just to save a little money. There are a lot of situations where an accident victim reduced physical damage coverage only to find out that it was a big error on their part. Your goal is to buy a smart amount of coverage at a price you can afford, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
There are still a few companies who may not have online quoting and most of the time these smaller companies only sell through local independent agents. Budget-friendly auto insurance can be sourced online in addition to many insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to have the best selection.
