More affordable rates with these eight car insurance discounts

Some insurance providers do not list every possible discount in an easy-to-find place, so below is a list both the well known and the more hidden discounts that you may qualify for.

• ABS Braking Discount – Cars and trucks that have steering control and anti-lock brakes are much safer to drive so you can save 10 percent or more.
• More Vehicles More Savings – Drivers who insure primary and secondary vehicles on the same car insurance policy can reduce the rates for all insured vehicles.
• Drivers Education – Cut your cost by having your teen driver enroll and complete driver’s education if offered at their school.
• Multiple Policy Discount – If you can combine your homeowners and auto policy with the same company you could earn a discount of 10% to 20% off each policy.
• Smart Student Discounts – Performing well in school can earn a discount of 20% or more. You can use this discount normally well after school through age 25.
• Paper-free Discount – Certain car insurance companies give back up to $50 for buying a policy and signing up on their website.
• Discount for Life Insurance – Companies who offer life insurance give lower rates if you buy a life policy as well.
• Homeowners Pay Less – Owning your own home or condo may trigger a policy discount on car insurance because of the fact that having a home demonstrates responsibility.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire policy premium. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. Even though it appears adding up those discounts means a free policy, car insurance companies aren’t that generous. But all discounts will bring down your car insurance premiums.

Insurance can get complicated

When choosing the right insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

These are some specific questions might help in determining if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.

• Do I need roadside assistance coverage?
• How high should my medical payments coverage be?
• How much liability coverage do I need in my state?
• Should I buy additional glass protection?
• Is my 2000 Cadillac Eldorado covered for smoke damage?
• Am I covered by my employer’s commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?
• What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form. It is quick, free and can help protect your family.

Auto insurance coverages

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Cadillac Eldorado.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Auto liability

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property that is your fault. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for things like attorney fees, loss of income and funeral expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and falling objects. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Collision insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims such as hitting a mailbox, crashing into a ditch, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills for things like prosthetic devices, nursing services, hospital visits and pain medications. 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 not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Power to the consumer

When searching for the cheapest car insurance quotes, it’s not a good idea to buy poor coverage just to save money. There have been many cases where consumers will sacrifice liability coverage limits only to regret at claim time that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your focus should be to get the best coverage possible at the best cost but still have enough coverage for asset protection.

Cost effective 2000 Cadillac Eldorado insurance can be found online and from local insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies may not have price quotes online and most of the time these small, regional companies only sell through independent agents.

People leave their current company for many reasons like delays in responding to claim requests, high rates after DUI convictions, questionable increases in premium and even denial of a claim. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, choosing a new company is less work than it seems.
