How much can you save with discounts?

Car insurance companies do not advertise all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we break down some of the more common and also the lesser-known savings tricks you should be using.

  • Anti-lock Brake System – Vehicles equipped with ABS or steering control prevent accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Having a deployed family member can result in better rates.
  • Club Memberships – Affiliation with a civic or occupational organization may earn a discount on your policy on 7 Series insurance.
  • Drive Safe and Save – Insureds without accidents may receive a discount up to 45% less on 7 Series insurance than less cautious drivers.
  • Life Insurance Discount – Some companies give lower rates if you buy auto and life insurance together.
  • Multiple Cars – Insuring all your vehicles with the same company qualifies for this discount.

As a disclaimer on discounts, some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears it’s possible to get free car insurance, you won’t be that lucky.

Auto insurance coverage basics

Learning about specific coverages of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find the usual coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.

Liability – Liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, 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 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for things such as medical expenses, repair costs for stationary objects and pain and suffering. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Insurance for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses such as X-ray expenses, hospital visits and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers both the driver and occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hail damage, damage from getting keyed, falling objects and theft. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Collision – This coverage covers damage to your 7 Series from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims such as rolling your car, hitting a parking meter, crashing into a building, damaging your car on a curb and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2008 BMW 7 Series.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
