Are you getting all your discounts?

Companies offering auto insurance don't always advertise every discount very clearly, so the following is a list of both the well known and the more hidden ways to save on car insurance.

  • Payment Method - If paying your policy premium upfront rather than paying monthly you can actually save on your bill.
  • Distant Student - Any of your kids living away from home attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle can be insured at a reduced rate.
  • Paperwork-free - Certain companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy over the internet.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Driver Safety - Completing a defensive driving course could cut 5% off your bill depending on where you live.
  • Low Mileage Discounts - Fewer annual miles could qualify for better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Multiple Vehicles - Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on one policy could earn a price break for each car.

A little note about advertised discounts, many deductions do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most cut the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So when the math indicates all the discounts add up to a free policy, you won't be that lucky.

  • What are New York no-fault laws?
