How much can you save with discounts?

Companies that sell car insurance don't list all available discounts very clearly, so here is a list both well-publicized as well as the least known auto insurance savings.

  • Multiple Cars - Buying insurance for all your vehicles on the same auto insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Save over 55 - Mature drivers may receive reduced rates.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Larger companies have a discount if you purchase life insurance from them.
  • Anti-theft System - Anti-theft and alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • Own a Home - Owning a home in Powell may trigger a auto insurance policy discount because maintaining a house requires personal responsibility.
  • Good Student Discount - A discount for being a good student can save 20 to 25%. The discount lasts up until you turn 25.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Low mileage vehicles can qualify you for lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can avoid accidents and will save you 10% or more.

Consumers should know that most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only apply to individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies don't profit that way.
