These discounts can lower your rates

Auto insurance companies don't always list all their discounts very clearly, so we took the time to find both the well known and the more hidden auto insurance savings. If you're not getting every credit you deserve, you're paying more than you need to.

  • Discount for Life Insurance - Some companies give a discount if you purchase life insurance.
  • College Student - Children 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.
  • Sign Online - A few companies may give you up to $50 just for signing your application over the internet.
  • Multiple Vehicles - Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on the same auto insurance policy could earn a price break for each car.
  • Senior Citizens - Mature drivers may be able to get a small decrease in premiums.

It's important to note that most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. So even though they make it sound like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you're out of luck.
