Save big with these discounts

Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but there are discounts available that can drop the cost substantially. A few discounts will automatically apply when you purchase, but lesser-known reductions have to be specifically requested before being credited.

  • Defensive Driving Course - Taking part in a course in driver safety could cut 5% off your bill depending on where you live.
  • Save over 55 - Older drivers can possibly qualify for reduced rates.
  • Government Employees - Simply working for the federal government may qualify you for a discount depending on your company.
  • Theft Prevention System - Cars that have factory anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Passive Restraints - Vehicles equipped with air bags or automatic seat belts can receive discounts up to 30%.

It's important to note that most discount credits are not given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut specific coverage prices like liability and collision coverage. Even though it may seem like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you're out of luck. But any discount will help reduce your overall premium however.

And when comparison shopping, quoting more provides better odds of finding lower pricing.

But I don't know anything about car insurance

  • Should I rate my vehicle as pleasure use or commute?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
  • Does my personal auto insurance policy cover using my vehicle for business use?
  • Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
  • Can I rate high risk drivers on liability-only vehicles?
  • What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
  • Does my car insurance cover rental cars?

Do the work, save more money

Lower-priced auto insurance is definitely available online and with local Elkhorn insurance agents, so compare prices from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies do not offer online quoting and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

While you're price shopping online, do not 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 they didn't purchase enough coverage. The proper strategy is to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.

People who switch companies do it for a variety of reasons including delays in responding to claim requests, denial of a claim, extreme rates for teen drivers and policy non-renewal. Whatever your reason, finding a new auto insurance company is not as hard as you think.
