Don’t be fooled by advertising claims
Consumers can’t ignore all the ads that claim the lowest auto insurance rates by Allstate and Progressive. They all make the same claim that people will save just by moving your coverage.
How does each company make the same claim? It’s all in the wording.
All companies quote their cheapest rates for the type of insured that will generate a profit. For instance, a desirable insured might be described as a mature driver, has never had a claim, and has great credit. Any driver that matches those criteria will qualify for the lowest premium rates and as a result will probably save some money.
Consumers who don’t measure up to those standards will be charged a more expensive rate and this results in the driver buying from a lower-cost company. If you pay close attention to the ads, they say “customers that switch” but not “all drivers who get quotes” will save that much if they switch. That’s the way insurance companies can make the claims of big savings.
Because of these techniques, you need to compare as many free auto insurance quotes as you can. It’s not possible to predict the company that will fit your personal profile best.
Cheap car insurance rates with discounts
Car insurance is not inexpensive, but you may be missing some discounts to reduce the price significantly. Many discounts should be triggered when you complete an application, but some may not be applied and must be specially asked for before being credited.
- Senior Citizens – Drivers that qualify as senior citizens could receive reduced rates on GLE-Class Coupe insurance.
- Seat Belt Discounts – Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to use a seat belt can save a little off the PIP or medical payment premium.
- Own a Home – Owning a home can help you save on car insurance because it means you have a higher level of financial diligence.
- Student Driver Training – Cut your cost by having your teen driver enroll and complete driver’s education in school.
- Save with More Vehicles Insured – Drivers who insure all your vehicles on the same car insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
- Life Insurance Discount – Larger companies have better prices if you take out some life insurance too.
- Defensive Driver Discount – Participating in a defensive driving class could earn you a small percentage discount if you qualify.
- Waiver for an Accident – but certain companies will allow you to have one accident before hitting you with a surcharge with the catch being you have to be claim-free for a certain period of time.
- Discount for Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags can get savings of 25 to 30%.
A little disclaimer on discounts, most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. Despite the appearance that you could get a free car insurance policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.
Larger car insurance companies and the discounts they provide are detailed below.
- State Farm policyholders can earn discounts including Steer Clear safe driver discount, multiple autos, defensive driving training, anti-theft, and good student.
- Esurance offers discounts for homeowner, online shopper, paid-in-full, Switch & Save, and multi-car.
- Progressive has savings for multi-vehicle, continuous coverage, good student, online signing, homeowner, and online quote discount.
- Liberty Mutual may have discounts that include preferred payment discount, teen driver discount, newly retired, new graduate, and newly married.
- Auto-Owners Insurance discounts include teen driver, mature driver, good student, multi-policy, paid in full, safe vehicle, and safe driver.
- Geico may include discounts for anti-lock brakes, driver training, military active duty, air bags, and daytime running lights.

Insurance coverage basics
Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.
Insurance for medical payments – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses such as nursing services, dental work and EMT expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things like rock chips in glass, fire damage, theft and falling objects. The maximum 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 it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage 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 coverage pays for things like hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Auto liability – Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to other people or property. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage protects against things like attorney fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, legal defense fees, bail bonds and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.
Save for a rainy day
While you’re price shopping online, it’s very important that you do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. Too many times, an insured cut comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to find out that they should have had better coverage. Your goal is to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest cost, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.
More affordable insurance is available on the web as well as from independent agents, so you need to shop auto insurance with both to have the best selection. Some insurance providers don’t offer rate quotes online and usually these smaller providers provide coverage only through independent agencies.
