Are you irritated from wondering where the money will come from to pay your auto insurance bill each month? You’re in the same situation as most other drivers. Multiple insurance companies compete for your hard-earned dollar, and it can be difficult to compare rates to find the lowest rate possible.

If you are insured now or need new coverage, you can use these tips to cut your premiums while maintaining coverages. Finding the best rates is not that difficult. Drivers just need to learn the most efficient way to shop over the internet.

These discounts can cut insurance coverage rates

Some insurers don’t always list the entire discount list in a way that’s easy to find, so the list below contains a few of the more well known and the more hidden discounts that may be available. If you are not receiving all the discounts possible, you are not getting the best rate possible.

• Military Rewards – Having an actively deployed family member can result in better prices.
• Distant College Student Discount – Older children living away from home attending college and do not have a car may be able to be covered for less.
• Home Ownership Discount – Just being a homeowner can help you save on insurance coverage because of the fact that having a home shows financial diligence.
• Good Student Discount – A discount for being a good student can get you a discount of up to 25%. The discount lasts up to age 25.
• Theft Deterent Discount – Vehicles optioned with advanced anti-theft systems are stolen with less frequency and can earn a small discount on your policy.
• Seat Belts Save – Forcing all vehicle occupants to buckle up can save a little off the medical payments premium.
• Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Options like air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems may qualify for discounts of 25 to 30%.
• Discounts for Responsible Drivers – Insureds who avoid accidents could pay up to 40% less on Transit Wagon coverage than drivers with accident claims.
• Telematics Devices – Drivers who agree to allow companies to spy on when and where they use their vehicle remotely like In-Drive from State Farm and Progressive’s Snapshot may get a rate reduction if they are good drivers.
• Multiple Vehicles – Purchasing coverage when you have multiple cars on a single policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.

You should keep in mind that most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. Even though it appears you could get a free insurance coverage policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

A list of insurance coverage companies and some of the premium reductions they offer are outlined below.

• American Family may include discounts for multi-vehicle, good student, TimeAway discount, mySafetyValet, defensive driver, bundled insurance, and Steer into Savings.
• State Farm may have discounts that include good driver, Drive Safe & Save, multiple policy, accident-free, anti-theft, defensive driving training, and safe vehicle.
• 21st Century has savings for driver training, teen driver, 55 and older, homeowners, and early bird.

When do I need an agent’s advice?

When choosing proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is a little different so your insurance needs to address that. These are some specific questions might point out whether you will benefit from professional help.

• Is business equipment covered while in my vehicle?
• Do I need higher collision deductibles?
• Does insurance cover damages from a DUI accident?
• Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver?
• How much liability coverage do I need in my state?
• What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?
• How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
• What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
• Can my teen drive my company car?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to a licensed agent.

Car insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 100/300/100 which means a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like attorney fees, legal defense fees, loss of income, emergency aid and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses such as pain medications, ambulance fees, dental work, doctor visits and hospital visits. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things like colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car, sideswiping another vehicle, scraping a guard rail and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hail damage. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Final considerations

Lower-priced insurance coverage is available online and from local insurance agents, and you should be comparing both to have the best selection. Some insurance providers do not provide online price quotes and these smaller providers prefer to sell through local independent agents.

As you quote insurance coverage, don’t be tempted to sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In too many instances, someone dropped full coverage and learned later that the savings was not a smart move. The goal is to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the best cost, but do not skimp to save money.
