Don't pay full price with these discounts

Companies that sell car insurance don't always advertise all available discounts in a way that's easy to find, so we researched some of the best known and also the lesser-known discounts you could be receiving. If you aren't receiving every discount you deserve, you're paying more than you need to.

Multiple Cars - Having all your vehicles on the same auto insurance policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
Life Insurance Discount - Larger companies have better rates if you take out a life insurance policy as well.
Memberships - Affiliation with a civic or occupational organization may earn a discount when buying auto insurance.
Drivers Ed for Students - Have your child enroll in driver's education if offered at their school.
Military Rewards - Being deployed with a military unit could be rewarded with lower premiums.
Good Student Discount - A discount for being a good student can get you a discount of up to 25%. Earning this discount can benefit you up until you turn 25.
Senior Discount - Mature drivers may receive reduced rates.
Accident Waiver - A handful of insurance companies allow you one accident before raising your premiums so long as you haven't had any claims prior to the accident.

Consumers should know that some of the credits will not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though it sounds like all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies don't profit that way.

What determines how much you pay?

An important part of buying insurance is that you know the factors that play a part in calculating auto insurance rates. Having a good understanding of what determines base rates allows you to make educated decisions that could result in lower auto insurance prices.

Shown below are a partial list of the pieces companies use to determine premiums.

Higher deductibles cost less - The deductibles represent how much money you are willing to pay out-of-pocket before your auto insurance pays a claim. Physical damage insurance, commonly called comprehensive (or other-than-collision) and collision coverage, covers damage that occurs to your car. Examples of covered claims are colliding with a building, damage from fire, and rolling your vehicle. The more you're willing to pay, the bigger discount you will receive.
Where do you drive? - The higher the mileage driven in a year's time the more you'll pay to insure your vehicle. Most companies price each vehicle's coverage determined by how the vehicle is used. Cars left parked in the garage receive lower rates as compared to vehicles used primarily for driving to work. Make sure your auto insurance declarations sheet is rated on the correct usage for each vehicle, because improper ratings can cost you money.
Protect your assets with liability insurance - Your policy's liability coverage is the protection if a jury decides you are liable for damages from an accident. Liability insurance provides legal defense starting from day one. Carrying liability coverage is mandatory and cheap as compared to coverage for physical damage, so do not skimp.
Frequent auto insurance claims increase rates - Auto insurance companies in Kansas generally give cheaper rates to policyholders who file claims infrequently. If you frequently file small claims, you can pretty much guarantee either policy cancellation or increased premiums. Auto insurance is intended to be relied upon for the bigger claims that can't be paid out-of-pocket.
Drive a safer car and pay less - Cars with high safety ratings get lower rates. Safe vehicles result in less severe injuries and better occupant protection translates into savings for insurance companies and more competitive rates for policyholders.

Your personal situation dictates your coverage

When choosing the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Every situation is different and your policy should reflect that. Here are some questions about coverages that can help discover whether or not you would benefit from an agent's advice.

Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
Am I getting all the discounts available?
Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in Kansas?
Am I covered by my employer's commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?

If you can't answer these questions, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form or go to this page to view a list of companies. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.

The auto insurance bait and switch

Kansas drivers can't get away from ads for car insurance savings by companies like Allstate, GEICO and Progressive. All the companies have a common claim of big savings if you change to them.

How can each company say the same thing? It's all in the numbers.

All companies have a preferred profile for the type of driver that is profitable for them. For instance, a profitable customer might be profiled as between 25 and 40, has no prior claims, and has great credit. A propective insured that hits that "sweet spot" will get the preferred rates and therefore will save when they switch companies.

Consumers who don't measure up to the requirements must pay higher prices and this can result in business not being written. The ads state "customers who switch" not "everyone that quotes" save money. This is how insurance companies can confidently advertise the savings. This illustrates why drivers must get quotes from several different companies. It's not possible to predict which insurance companies will fit your personal profile best.

A tidy conclusion

Cost effective auto insurance can be sourced on the web and with local Conway Springs insurance agents, so you should compare both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who do not offer the ability to get a quote online and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

When you buy insurance online, it's not a good idea to reduce coverage to reduce premium. In too many instances, consumers will sacrifice liability coverage limits only to discover later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your focus should be to get the best coverage possible at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.
