Are you receiving every discount?

Companies that sell car insurance don’t always advertise all available discounts very well, so the below list has a few of the more common and also the lesser-known credits that may apply to you.

• Seat Belt Usage – Requiring all passengers to fasten their seat belts can save a little on the premium charged for medical payments and/or PIP.
• ABS Brakes – Cars, trucks, and SUVs with anti-lock braking systems can avoid accidents and the ABS can save up to 10%.
• Organization Discounts – Belonging to qualifying employment or professional organizations can get you a small discount on car insurance.
• Own a Home – Owning your own home or condo can get you a discount because maintaining a house is proof that your finances are in order.
• Lower Rates for Military – Being on active deployment in the military may qualify for rate reductions.

While discounts sound great, it’s important to understand that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Some only apply to individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, that’s just not realistic.

Large car insurance companies and the discounts they provide are shown below.

• 21st Century includes discounts for defensive driver, teen driver, anti-lock brakes, driver training, and 55 and older.
• State Farm may include discounts for safe vehicle, multiple autos, passive restraint, good driver, and defensive driving training.
• AAA has savings for AAA membership discount, anti-theft, good student, education and occupation, and pay-in-full.
• Liberty Mutual policyholders can earn discounts including teen driver discount, good student, preferred payment discount, hybrid vehicle, exclusive group savings, multi-car, and newly married.
• Progressive may offer discounts for homeowner, multi-policy, good student, online quote discount, continuous coverage, and online signing.

When in doubt talk to an agent

• Is my vehicle covered by my employer’s policy when using it for work?
• What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?
• Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
• Is business equipment covered while in my vehicle?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It only takes a few minutes and can provide invaluable advice.

Car insurance coverage information

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.

Liability auto insurance – This coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for things such as loss of income, structural damage and legal defense fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like prosthetic devices, rehabilitation expenses and pain medications. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your 2007 Toyota Corolla.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision coverages – Collision insurance covers damage to your Corolla resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things such as crashing into a ditch, damaging your car on a curb and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Don’t break the bank

Budget-friendly auto insurance can be found on the web and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should be comparing both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies may not provide the ability to get quotes online and usually these smaller providers only sell through local independent agencies.

In this article, we presented a lot of techniques to reduce 2007 Toyota Corolla insurance prices online. The most important thing to understand is the more times you quote, the higher the chance of saving money. Drivers may discover the best prices are with a small local company. Some small companies may cover specific market segments cheaper compared to the large companies like Allstate and Progressive.
