Don't pay full price with these discounts

Car insurance is not cheap, but you can get discounts that you may not know about. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied at the time of purchase, but some must be specially asked for prior to receiving the credit.

  • Anti-lock Brake System - Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems can avoid accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Senior Discount - Older drivers may receive better auto insurance rates.
  • Club Memberships - Affiliation with certain professional organizations is a good way to get lower rates on your policy.
  • Low Mileage - Low mileage vehicles can qualify you for discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
  • Pay Now and Pay Less - If you pay your entire premium ahead of time rather than paying monthly you may reduce your total bill.
  • Multiple Cars - Having all your vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given to the overall cost of the policy. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. Even though it may seem like all the discounts add up to a free policy, auto insurance companies aren't that generous. Any amount of discount will cut your premiums.

Your personal situation dictates your coverage

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no one size fits all plan. Every situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine whether or not you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in Virginia?
  • Am I covered by my employer's commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?
  • Are rental cars covered under my policy?
  • Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?
  • What can I do if my company won't pay a claim?
  • Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
  • Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?
  • Should I buy only the required Virginia minimum liability coverage?

If you're not sure about those questions, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

The best insurance company isn't always the cheapest

When buying insurance coverage, you should never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. Too many times, drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage only to find out that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The aim is to buy the best coverage you can find at the best price, not the least amount of coverage.

Cheap auto insurance can be sourced on the web and also from your neighborhood Hot Springs agents, and you need to price shop both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance companies may not provide online quoting and many times these smaller companies only sell through independent insurance agents.

People leave their current company for a variety of reasons including policy cancellation, not issuing a premium refund, questionable increases in premium and delays in responding to claim requests. Regardless of your reason, finding a new auto insurance company is not as hard as you think.
