These discounts can lower your rates

Companies offering auto insurance do not list every discount very well, so we researched both the well known and the harder-to-find ways to save on car insurance.

  • Federal Employees - Being employed by or retired from a federal job can save as much as 8% with a few car insurance companies.
  • Passive Restraints and Air Bags - Cars that have air bags or motorized seat belts can receive discounts of 20% or more.
  • Braking Control Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles prevent accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Auto/Life Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give a break if you buy a life insurance policy as well.
  • More Vehicles More Savings - Buying coverage for multiple cars or trucks on the same car insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
  • Distant Student - Any of your kids who are attending college without a vehicle on campus can be insured at a reduced rate.

As a disclaimer on discounts, many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. Even though it may seem like you can get free auto insurance, car insurance companies aren't that generous.
