Comparing rates online can be done by anyone as you simply type in your required coverages as detailed in the form.

Do you qualify for discounts?

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but you might be missing out on some discounts that you may not even be aware of. A few discounts will be applied when you complete an application, but lesser-known reductions have to be specifically requested before being credited.

• Use Seat Belts – Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to fasten their seat belts could cut 10% or more on medical payment and PIP coverage.
• Distant Student – Children who attend college more than 100 miles from home and do not have a car may qualify for this discount.
• Good Drivers – Safe drivers may receive a discount up to 45% for Elantra coverage as compared to drivers with claims.
• Buy New and Save – Buying a new car instead of a used car can cost up to 25% less because new model year vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
• Employee of Federal Government – Active or retired federal employment could provide a small rate reduction for Elantra coverage with certain companies.
• Discount for Good Grades – Getting good grades can get you a discount of up to 25%. The good student discount can last up until you turn 25.
• Bundle and Save – If you combine your auto and homeowners policies and insure them both with the same insurance company they may give you a discount of 10% to 20% off each policy.
• Theft Prevention Discount – Cars equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems can help prevent theft so companies will give you a small discount.
• Claim-Free Discount – Drivers with accident-free driving histories can save substantially as compared to accident-prone drivers.
• Discount for Home Ownership – Just being a homeowner may trigger a policy discount on auto insurance since home ownership is proof of financial responsibility.

Discounts lower rates, but most discount credits are not given the the whole policy. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. Just because you may think you could get a free auto insurance policy, that’s just not realistic.

A partial list of companies that may include most of the discounts above include:

• State Farm
• American Family
• Geico
• 21st Century
• Progressive

Before purchasing a policy, check with all the companies how you can save money. Depending on the company, some discounts might not be offered on policies in your state. For a list of providers with significant discounts, click here to view.

Don’t assume everyone needs the same auto insurance coverage

When buying adequate coverage for your vehicles, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Every situation is different.

These are some specific questions could help you determine if your situation will benefit from professional help.

• Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
• Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
• I have health insurance so do I need medical payments coverage?
• Am I covered if my car is in a flood?
• Is a fancy paint job covered?
• Can my babysitter drive my car?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form. It’s fast, free and may give you better protection.

Auto insurance coverages

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Auto liability – Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

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 liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, funeral expenses and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Hyundai Elantra.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like chiropractic care, prosthetic devices and EMT expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as hitting a deer, fire damage and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by 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 insurance covers things such as colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with another moving vehicle and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
