Pay discount rates these discounts

Companies offering auto insurance don’t always advertise every policy discount very well, so here is a list both the well known and also the more inconspicuous credits available to bring down your rates.

• Life Insurance – Select car insurance companies reward you with a discounted price on car insurance if you buy auto and life insurance together.
• Accident Free – Drivers who stay claim-free have much lower rates as compared to accident-prone drivers.
• Early Switch Discount – A few car insurance companies offer discounts for switching to them early. The savings is around 10%.
• Safety Restraint Discount – Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to use a seat belt can save up to 15% off the medical payments premium.
• Discounts for Cautious Drivers – Drivers without accidents may save up to 50% more for Maxima coverage compared to accident prone drivers.
• Accident Forgiveness – This isn’t a discount exactly, but some insurance companies permit an accident without the usual rate increase as long as you don’t have any claims prior to the accident.
• Federal Government Employee – Active or former government employment may reduce rates when you quote insurance coverage for Maxima coverage depending on your car insurance provider.
• Air Bag Discount – Factory options such as air bags or automatic seat belts can qualify for discounts up to 30%.
• Good Students Pay Less – Performing well in school may save you up to 25%. This discount can apply well after school through age 25.
• Active Military Service – Having a deployed family member can result in better rates.

A quick disclaimer, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. Despite the appearance that you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it’s just not the way it works.

Car insurance policy specifics

Understanding the coverages of car insurance can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Liability insurance

This can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, loss of income, attorney fees and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, falling objects and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses for chiropractic care, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices, X-ray expenses and doctor visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage

This covers damage to your Maxima resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a building and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Nissan Maxima.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.
