Take these nine discounts and save

Car insurance companies don’t always publicize all available discounts very clearly, so here is a list both the well known and the more hidden discounts you could be receiving. If you’re not getting every credit you qualify for, you’re paying more than you need to.

  • Drive Safe and Save – Drivers who avoid accidents can pay as much as 50% less on 240SX insurance than their less cautious counterparts.
  • Safety Course Discount – Taking a driver safety course can save you 5% or more if your company offers it.
  • One Accident Forgiven – A few companies will forgive one accident before hitting you with a surcharge as long as you don’t have any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Anti-lock Brakes – Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems prevent accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Discount for New Cars – Adding a new car to your policy is cheaper compared to insuring an older model.
  • Drivers Education – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to complete a driver education course in school.
  • Senior Discount – If you’re over the age of 55, you can possibly qualify for reduced rates on 240SX insurance.
  • Pay Upfront and Save – If paying your policy premium upfront instead of paying each month you may reduce your total bill.
  • Multi-car Discount – Insuring more than one vehicle on one policy qualifies for this discount.

Drivers should understand that most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as comprehensive or collision. So even though it sounds like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you won’t be that lucky.

Which policy gives me the best coverage?

When it comes to choosing the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a best way to insure your cars.

  • Is my Nissan 240SX covered if I use it for business?
  • Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
  • Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver?
  • Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?
  • When would I need rental car insurance?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • Does my 1992 Nissan 240SX need full coverage?
  • Should I file a claim if it’s only slightly more than my deductible?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and can help protect your family.

Car insurance 101

Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Liability car insurance – This will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers claims such as court costs, repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your 240SX from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things like hitting a parking meter, crashing into a building, backing into a parked car and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird, damage from flooding and vandalism. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Nissan 240SX.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses like ambulance fees, surgery and dental work. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

The bottom line

As you restructure your insurance plan, make sure you don’t buy less coverage just to save a little money. In many instances, drivers have reduced comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to find out they didn’t have enough coverage. Your strategy should be to buy the best coverage you can find at an affordable rate.

We’ve covered a lot of ways to save on 1992 Nissan 240SX insurance. The key concept to understand is the more providers you compare, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. You may even find the lowest premiums are with a smaller regional carrier. These smaller insurers can often insure niche markets at a lower cost than the large multi-state companies such as State Farm or Progressive.
