Car insurance policy discounts

Some insurance providers don’t necessarily list all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list both well-publicized as well as the least known credits available to lower your premiums when you buy auto insurance online. If you check and find you aren’t receiving every discount available, you could be getting lower rates.

• ABS Braking Discount – Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes are much safer to drive so you can save 10 percent or more.
• Telematics Discount – Insureds who allow driving data collection to track driving manner by installing a telematics device like Drivewise from Allstate or In-Drive from State Farm might get better premium rates if their driving habits are good.
• Federal Employees – Active or former government employment could qualify for a slight premium decrease for Golf GTI coverage but check with your company.
• Sign Early and Save – A few larger companies allow discounts for switching companies prior to your current policy expiration. It can save you around 10%.
• Organization Discounts – Being in qualifying clubs or civic groups may earn a discount on your next car insurance statement.

As a footnote on discounts, some credits don’t apply to the overall cost of the policy. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection.

How do I know if I need professional advice?

• What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
• What is PIP insurance?

• What is no-fault insurance?
• Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or click here for a list of auto insurance companies in your area.

Insurance coverage options for a Volkswagen Golf GTI

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.

UM/UIM Coverage

This gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Most of the time these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Collision insurance

This covers damage to your Golf GTI from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims like scraping a guard rail, sideswiping another vehicle and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses for pain medications, chiropractic care and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as falling objects, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird, hitting a deer and rock chips in glass. 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 dropping full coverage.

Coverage for liability

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

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, $50,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as emergency aid, loss of income and pain and suffering. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
