Insurance coverage discounts are available to reduce your rates

Some insurance providers don’t always publicize every policy discount very clearly, so we break down both well-publicized and also the lesser-known insurance coverage savings.

• Good Students Pay Less – This discount can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. You can use this discount normally well after school through age 25.
• Discount for Swiching Early – Some insurance companies provide a discount for switching policies prior to the expiration date on your current policy. This can save 10% or more.
• Pay Early and Save – If paying your policy premium upfront rather than paying in monthly installments you can avoid the installment charge.
• Low Mileage – Driving fewer miles could be rewarded with lower prices due to less chance of an accident.
• Professional Organizations – Belonging to qualifying employment or professional organizations is a simple method to lower premiums when getting a auto insurance quote.
• Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can get savings as much as 30%.
• ABS and Traction Control Discounts – Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems can stop better under adverse conditions so companies give up to a 10% discount.
• More Vehicles More Savings – Buying a policy with multiple vehicles with one company qualifies for this discount.
• Data Collection Discounts – People who choose to allow driving data collection to track driving manner by using a telematics device in their vehicle such as Progressive’s Snapshot might get better premium rates if they have good driving habits.

As a footnote on discounts, most credits do not apply the the whole policy. Most only reduce individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Even though the math looks like adding up those discounts means a free policy, company stockholders wouldn’t be very happy.

Larger insurance coverage companies and their possible discounts are:

• State Farm has savings for Steer Clear safe driver discount, good driver, safe vehicle, passive restraint, Drive Safe & Save, and defensive driving training.
• Geico offers discounts for five-year accident-free, good student, anti-lock brakes, membership and employees, air bags, and daytime running lights.

Everyone needs different auto insurance coverages

When choosing adequate coverage, there is no perfect coverage plan. Each situation is unique.

For instance, these questions may help you determine if you would benefit from professional advice.

• Which companies will insure high-risk drivers?
• Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
• What are the best liability limits?
• How much underlying liability do I need for an umbrella policy?
• Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
• Is my teen driver covered when they drive my company car?
• What is no-fault insurance?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.

Car insurance coverage options for a 2018 Kia Forte

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Forte resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as rolling your car, driving through your garage door and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM Coverage

This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Kia Forte.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Usually the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills for funeral costs, dental work, surgery, prosthetic devices and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like hail damage, vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, a broken windshield and hitting a deer. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto liability

This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for things such as legal defense fees, bail bonds, emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects and pain and suffering. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
