Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

  • Safety Course Discount - Successfully completing a course teaching defensive driving skills can save you 5% or more and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Theft Prevention Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems prevent vehicle theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • Multiple Cars - Buying insurance for all your vehicles on the same auto insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Senior Discount - Mature drivers may receive a small decrease in premiums.
  • Pay Now and Pay Less - By paying your policy upfront instead of paying each month you could save up to 5%.

As a disclaimer on discounts, some credits don't apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. Just because it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, auto insurance companies aren't that generous. Any amount of discount will bring down the amount you have to pay.

  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • Do I have any recourse if my insurance company denies a claim?
