More discounts equal less premium

  • Lower Rates for Military - Being deployed with a military unit may qualify for rate reductions.
  • Anti-lock Brakes - Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems can reduce accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • 55 and Retired - Older drivers may be able to get a small decrease in premiums.
  • Multiple Vehicles - Having multiple vehicles on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Theft Prevention Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and will save you 10% or more.

A little note about advertised discounts, some of the credits will not apply to your bottom line cost. A few only apply to individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like adding up those discounts means a free policy, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will cut your premiums.
