Cheaper rates with discounts

Insurance can be pricey, but there could be available discounts to reduce the price significantly. Many discounts should be triggered at the time of quoting, but some discounts are required to be specifically requested prior to receiving the credit.

• Active Service Discounts – Being on active duty in the military may qualify for rate reductions.
• Pay Early and Save – If you can afford to pay the entire bill instead of monthly or quarterly installments you could save up to 5%.
• Sign Online – A few insurance companies will give a small break for signing up over the internet.
• Use Seat Belts – Forcing all vehicle occupants to wear their seat belts can save a little off the medical payments premium.
• Driver Safety – Passing a defensive driving course can save you 5% or more and also improve your driving technique.
• Discounts for Federal Employees – Being employed by or retired from a federal job can earn a discount up to 10% for Avalon Hybrid coverage depending on your company.
• Responsible Drivers – Accident-free drivers may receive a discount up to 45% for Avalon Hybrid coverage than drivers with accident claims.
• Policy Bundle Discount – If you combine your auto and home policies with the same insurance company they may give you a discount of nearly 15% which can help you find low cost car insurance.
• No Charge for an Accident – This isn’t a discount exactly, but a handful of insurance companies will let one accident slide without getting socked with a rate hike if you have no claims before the accident.
• Passive Restraint Discount – Vehicles with factory air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems may earn rate discounts of more than 20%.

A quick disclaimer, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire policy premium. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. So when it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it doesn’t quite work that way.

• Do I have newly-aquired coverage?
• Can my teen drive my company car?
• What can I do if my company won’t pay a claim?
• Does liability extend to a camper or trailer?
• Do I need PIP coverage since I have good health insurance?

Car insurance 101

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses for things like funeral costs, hospital visits, chiropractic care and prosthetic devices. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability insurance

This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage pays for things like emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Avalon Hybrid 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 protects against things like crashing into a ditch, colliding with a tree, hitting a mailbox and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Toyota Avalon Hybrid.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as rock chips in glass, theft and hitting a deer. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
