Use discounts to get cheaper insurance coverage rates

Companies that sell car insurance don’t always publicize every possible discount in a way that’s easy to find, so we took the time to find some of the best known as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving when you buy insurance coverage online.

• Driver Training Discounts – Participating in a course teaching driver safety skills could possibly earn you a 5% discount if you qualify.
• Claim Free – Claim-free drivers get the best insurance coverage rates when compared with drivers who are more careless.
• Government Employee Discount – Active or former government employment may qualify for a discount when you quote insurance coverage on Sky coverage with certain companies.
• Theft Deterent System – Cars that have factory anti-theft systems help deter theft and can earn a small discount on your policy.
• Good Grades Discount – This discount can save 20 to 25%. You can use this discount normally up to age 25.

Discounts reduce rates, but you should keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. So when the math indicates it’s possible to get free car insurance, that’s just not realistic.

Larger insurance coverage companies and a selection of discounts are shown below.

• American Family offers premium reductions for Steer into Savings, TimeAway discount, multi-vehicle, mySafetyValet, and accident-free.
• Nationwide discounts include good student, Farm Bureau membership, anti-theft, multi-policy, accident-free, and family plan.

How car insurance companies calculate Saturn Sky insurance premiums

Many factors are part of the equation when premium rates are determined. Some are pretty understandable like an MVR report, but other factors are more transparent like where you live or how financially stable you are.

The list below includes some of the most common factors companies use to determine your rates.

• Improve your credit rating and save – Having a good credit rating can be an important factor in determining premium rates. Insureds that have excellent credit scores tend to be more responsible as compared to drivers with poor credit. If your credit rating could use some work, you could be paying less to insure your 2009 Saturn Sky by repairing your credit.
• Can a thief steal your car? – Choosing to buy a car with a theft deterrent system can earn a premium discount. Anti-theft devices like vehicle immobilizer systems, General Motors OnStar and LoJack tracking systems all help prevent car theft and help bring rates down.
• Rates may be higher where you live – Having an address in a rural area may provide you with better prices when talking about insurance coverage. Less people living in that area means fewer accidents. City drivers have to deal with more auto accidents and higher rates of accident claims. More time behind the wheel translates into higher accident risk.
• Never go without insurance coverage – Allowing your coverage to lapse is a fast way to bump up your insurance coverage costs. In addition to paying higher rates, getting caught without coverage could earn you fines and jail time.
• Small coverages can add up – Insurance companies have many add-on coverages that sound like a good idea at the time when buying insurance coverage. Insurance for things like personal injury protection, high-cost glass coverage, and membership fees may be wasting your money. The coverages may be enticing when deciding what coverages you need, but now you might not need them so consider taking them off your policy.
• Battle of the sexes – Over the last 50 years, statistics have shown that women are safer drivers than men. Now that doesn’t mean women are better drivers. Males and females are in fender benders in similar numbers, but the men have accidents that have higher claims. Not only that, but men also get higher numbers of serious violations like DWI (DUI) or reckless driving.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When buying coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no single plan that fits everyone. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so your insurance should reflect that For example, these questions may help highlight whether your personal situation may require specific advice.

• Should I waive the damage coverage when renting a car?
• Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
• What exactly is covered by my policy?
• How high should deductibles be on a 2009 Saturn Sky?
• Am I covered if hit by an uninsured driver?
• Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
• Is motorclub coverage worth it?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier It’s fast, free and can help protect your family.

The car insurance bait and switch

Drivers can’t escape the ads that claim the best auto insurance rates by companies like Progressive, Geico, Allstate and State Farm. All the companies make the point that drivers can save some big amount after switching your car insurance policy to them.

It sounds good, but how can they all cost less than your current company? It’s all in the wording.

Insurance providers quote their best rates for the driver that will add to their bottom line. One example of this type of risk profile could be over age 30, has other policies, and drives less than 7,500 miles a year. A customer getting a price quote who fits that profile will get a cheap rate quote and have a good chance to save a lot of money.

Potential customers who fall outside these standards will get higher premiums with the end result being the customer not purchasing. The trick is to say “customers who switch” not “everyone that quotes” save that much. That is how companies can truthfully make it sound like they have such great premium rates.

Because every company is different, you really should compare rate quotes every year. It’s just too difficult to predict which car insurance company will have the lowest rate quotes.

Information about specific coverages

Knowing the specifics of a car insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are typical coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Saturn Sky.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like hail damage, damage from getting keyed and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision – This coverage pays for damage to your Sky resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for things like backing into a parked car, scraping a guard rail, sideswiping another vehicle, driving through your garage door and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability car insurance – This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things such as attorney fees, medical services and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but buy higher limits if possible.

Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills for things like rehabilitation expenses, pain medications, funeral costs, prosthetic devices and X-ray expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Get your money’s worth

Budget-conscious 2009 Saturn Sky insurance is attainable from both online companies and from local insurance agents, and you should compare rates from both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance companies do not offer price quotes online and most of the time these smaller companies provide coverage only through independent insurance agents.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s not a good idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are a lot of situations where an insured dropped full coverage and found out when filing a claim that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your focus should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at the best cost.
