Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but discounts can save money and there are some available to help offset the cost. Some discounts apply automatically when you quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be asked for before you get the savings.

  • Defensive Driving Course - Taking a defensive driving course could cut 5% off your bill depending on where you live.
  • Senior Citizens - Older drivers can possibly qualify for a small decrease in premiums.
  • Pay Upfront and Save - If you pay your bill all at once rather than paying monthly you could save up to 5%.
  • Accident Waiver - Certain companies allow you one accident without raising rates so long as you haven't had any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Some companies give a discount if you purchase life insurance from them.
  • More Vehicles More Savings - Buying insurance for multiple cars or trucks on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.

Keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it just doesn't work that way. But any discount will bring down the amount you have to pay.

For example, these questions may help you determine whether your personal situation may require specific advice.

  • Should I rate my vehicle as pleasure use or commute?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • What can I do if my company won't pay a claim?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
  • What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • What are Tennessee no-fault laws?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form.

Final considerations

Affordable car insurance is possible both online as well as from independent agents in Chuckey, and you should be comparing both to have the best selection. A few companies don't offer online quoting and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

When trying to cut insurance costs, never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There are a lot of situations where drivers have reduced comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time that it was a big mistake. The proper strategy is to buy the best coverage you can find at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.

Consumers who switch companies do it for a variety of reasons including delays in responding to claim requests, denial of a claim, unfair underwriting practices and an unsatisfactory settlement offer. No matter why you want to switch, finding a new car insurance company is not as hard as you think.
