Don't pay full price with these discounts

Companies don't list all available discounts in a way that's easy to find, so we break down some of the more common and the more hidden ways to save on car insurance. If you aren't receiving every discount you deserve, you are throwing money away.

Defensive Driving Course - Successfully completing a driver safety course could cut 5% off your bill if you qualify.
New Car Discount - Putting insurance coverage on a new car is cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
No Accidents - Drivers who don't have accidents can save substantially when compared with drivers who are more careless.
Service Members Pay Less - Having a family member in the military can result in better rates.
Good Student Discount - Performing well in school can earn a discount of 20% or more. This discount can apply up to age 25.
Accident Waiver - A handful of insurance companies permit an accident before your rates go up so long as you haven't had any claims for a set time period.
Auto/Home Discount - If you have multiple policies with the same insurance company you could get a discount of at least 10% off all policies.

It's important to understand that most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like adding up those discounts means a free policy, it doesn't quite work that way.

Your personal situation dictates your coverage

When it comes to buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Everyone's needs are different.

I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?

If it's difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form. It's fast, doesn't cost anything and can provide invaluable advice.

The car insurance bait and switch

Consumers get pounded daily by advertisements for car insurance savings by 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm. All the companies make the same claim of big savings if you move to their company.

How can each company make the same claim?

Insurance companies have a preferred profile for the driver that earns them a profit. For example, a profitable customer could be a mature driver, has no prior claims, and chooses high deductibles. A customer who matches those parameters is entitled to the best price and therefore will save when they switch companies.

Drivers who don't measure up to the requirements must pay higher premiums which leads to business going elsewhere. The ads state "people who switch" not "everyone that quotes" save that much. This is how insurance companies can confidently state the savings. This illustrates why you should get a wide range of price quotes. Because you never know which insurance companies will give you the biggest savings.

And the best car insurance company is...

Low-cost car insurance is definitely available from both online companies and also from your neighborhood Sharon agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and usually these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through local independent agents.

When buying insurance coverage, it's not a good idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are a lot of situations where consumers will sacrifice uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The proper strategy is to buy a smart amount of coverage at an affordable rate while not skimping on critical coverages.

Insureds who switch companies do it for many reasons like delays in responding to claim requests, delays in paying claims, high rates after DUI convictions and even unfair underwriting practices. Regardless of your reason, finding the right car insurance provider is less work than it seems.
