Most companies such as Allstate, GEICO and Progressive allow you to get coverage prices on the web. Getting online rates is pretty painless as you just enter your required coverages as detailed in the form. When the form is submitted, the company's rating system will obtain information on your driving record and credit history and returns a price quote based on these and other factors.

These discounts can lower your rates

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but you can get discounts that many people don't even know exist. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied at quote time, but some may not be applied and must be requested specifically in order for you to get them.

  • Multi-car Discount - Buying coverage for more than one vehicle on the same auto insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
  • Auto/Home Discount - When you combine your home and auto insurance with one insurance company you could get a discount of approximately 10% to 15%.
  • Theft Prevention System - Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems can help prevent theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Driving fewer miles could qualify for better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Defensive Driver - Taking part in a course in driver safety could cut 5% off your bill and easily recoup the cost of the course.

Keep in mind that most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it just doesn't work that way. But any discount will cut the cost of coverage.
