Save money by getting discounts

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but there are discounts available that can help lower your rates. Certain reductions will be credited when you quote, but some may not be applied and must be manually applied before you get the savings.

• Multiple Cars – Buying a policy with multiple cars or trucks on the same insurance policy can get a discount for every vehicle.
• Life Insurance – Not all insurance companies offer life insurance, but some may give you lower prices if you buy some life insurance in addition to your auto policy.
• Safety Restraint Discount – Drivers who require all vehicle occupants to wear 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 New Cars – Buying a new car instead of a used car can be considerably cheaper because newer vehicles keep occupants safer.
• Homeowners Discount – Simply owning a home may earn you a small savings since home ownership shows financial diligence.
• Telematics Data Discounts – Insureds that choose to allow their insurance company to study when and where they use their vehicle by using a telematics device in their vehicle like In-Drive from State Farm and Progressive’s Snapshot may get a rate reduction if their driving habits are good.
• Discounts for Responsible Drivers – Safe drivers may save up to 50% more on SLC-Class insurance than drivers with accidents.
• Early Switch Discount – Some companies reward drivers for signing up prior to your current policy expiration. You can save around 10% with this discount.

A little disclaimer on discounts, many deductions do not apply the the whole policy. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So despite the fact that it appears you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it just doesn’t work that way. But all discounts will definitely reduce your overall bill.

Some companies who might offer these money-saving discounts are:

• American Family
• Nationwide
• MetLife
• 21st Century
• Farmers Insurance
• Allstate

When quoting, ask every insurance company the best way to save money. Some discounts listed above may not apply to policies in every state.

Your insurance coverage coverage should be tailored to you

When choosing the right insurance coverage, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Every situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine whether your personal situation would benefit from professional advice.

• Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
• Is my babysitter covered when using my vehicle?
• Am I covered if hit by an uninsured driver?
• Do I need motorclub coverage?
• Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
• Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?

If you’re not sure about those questions, you might consider talking to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form. It is quick, free and you can get the answers you need.

Coverages available on your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your SLC-Class resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a building and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as hail damage, hitting a deer, damage from flooding and falling objects. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Usually these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Liability

Liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, emergency aid and bail bonds. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses for things like prosthetic devices, funeral costs, EMT expenses and surgery. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
