Searching for lower insurance coverage rates for your Saturn Relay? Did a good deal turn into an overpriced insurance coverage policy? You’re preaching to the choir because many consumers are in the same pinch.
Many auto insurance companies compete to insure your vehicles, so it’s not easy to compare every company to get the lowest rate
It is always a good idea to quote other rates every six months because prices are constantly changing. Just because you found the best price on Relay coverage a few years ago there may be better deals available now. There is a lot of bad advice regarding insurance coverage on the internet, but we’re going to give you some great ways to lower your insurance coverage premiums.
These nine discounts can lower your insurance coverage rates
Some insurers don’t list their entire list of discounts very well, so the next list breaks down a few of the more well known and the harder-to-find credits available to bring down your rates.
- Savings for New Vehicles – Buying a new car instead of a used car can save up to 30% because new model year vehicles are generally safer.
- Pay Upfront and Save – If paying your policy premium upfront instead of paying each month you could save 5% or more.
- Anti-theft Discount – Vehicles optioned with advanced anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and earn discounts up to 10% off your car insurance quote.
- No Claim Discounts – Drivers who stay claim-free pay much less as opposed to drivers with a long claim history.
- Military Discounts – Being on active deployment in the military could trigger a small discount.
- Telematics Data Discounts – Drivers that enable their insurance coverage company to track driving patterns remotely like Drivewise from Allstate or In-Drive from State Farm might get better premium rates if they have good driving habits.
- Membership in Organizations – Joining certain professional organizations may earn a discount on your next renewal.
- Homeowners Pay Less – Just owning your own home can save a few bucks because it means you have a higher level of financial diligence.
- 55 and Retired – Drivers over the age of 55 may receive a small decrease in premiums on Relay coverage.
It’s important to understand that most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. Even though it may seem like adding up those discounts means a free policy, nobody gets a free ride.
Popular insurance coverage companies and their offered discounts are included below.
- Farmers Insurance includes discounts for distant student, alternative fuel, electronic funds transfer, youthful driver, good student, and multi-car.
- State Farm offers discounts including defensive driving training, Steer Clear safe driver discount, safe vehicle, multiple policy, driver’s education, accident-free, and passive restraint.
- Liberty Mutual has savings for new move discount, exclusive group savings, newly married, multi-car, preferred payment discount, and teen driver discount.
- MetLife has discounts for multi-policy, defensive driver, good driver, claim-free, good student, accident-free
- Progressive may include discounts for homeowner, continuous coverage, multi-policy, online signing, good student, multi-vehicle, and online quote discount.
Before buying, ask each company or agent to apply every possible discount. All car insurance discounts may not apply to policyholders in your area. If you would like to see a list of providers who offer online insurance coverage quotes, click this link.

But they said I’d save $449 a year!
Companies like State Farm, Allstate and Geico constantly bombard you with ads on television and other media. They all convey the message that you can save if you switch your policy. How does each company charge you a lower premium? It’s all in the numbers.
Many companies give the best rates for the driver that earns them the highest profit. One example of a desirable insured may be over age 30, carries high limits, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. Anyone who fits that profile will get low premium rates and will also save when switching.
Potential customers who don’t meet this ideal profile will probably have to pay higher rates and this results in the driver buying from a lower-cost company. The trick is to say “customers who switch” not “everybody who quotes” save the amount stated. That is how companies can truthfully advertise the way they do. This emphasizes why you really should quote coverage with many companies. It is impossible to predict which insurance companies will have the best rates.
Different people need different car insurance coverages
When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining if your situation may require specific advice.
- Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
- What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?
- Does insurance cover tools stolen from my truck?
- What if I don’t agree with a claim settlement offer?
- How high should deductibles be on a 2007 Saturn Relay?
- Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
- Should I buy additional glass protection?
- What is an SR-22 filing?
- Why do I need rental car insurance?
If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
Coverages available on your insurance policy
Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from flooding, theft, damage from getting keyed and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Saturn Relay.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses for things like nursing services, dental work, pain medications, rehabilitation expenses and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Collision protection
This will pay to fix damage to your Relay from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers claims like damaging your car on a curb, colliding with a tree and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Liability auto insurance
Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage protects against things such as pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Knowledge is power
When buying insurance coverage, make sure you don’t sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There have been many situations where someone dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits and discovered at claim time that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your objective should be to buy the best coverage you can find at the lowest possible cost, not the least amount of coverage.
Lower-priced insurance coverage is definitely available from both online companies in addition to many insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best selection. Some companies may not have online price quotes and usually these regional insurance providers only sell coverage through independent agents.
