These discounts can lower your rates

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but you can get discounts to reduce the price significantly. Certain discounts will be applied when you quote, but a few need to be inquired about before you get the savings. If you don't get every credit you qualify for, you're paying more than you need to.

  • Accident Forgiveness - Some insurance companies permit an accident before raising your premiums as long as you don't have any claims prior to the accident.
  • Braking Control Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can reduce accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Bundle and Save - When you combine your home and auto insurance with one insurance company you may earn up to 20% off your total premium.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems are stolen less frequently and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Driver Safety - Completing a course in driver safety can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • College Student - Any of your kids who attend school more than 100 miles from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle can be insured at a reduced rate.

A little note about advertised discounts, many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears you can get free auto insurance, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will help reduce the cost of coverage.
