Are you tired of trying to scrape together enough money each month for car insurance? You are no different than many other drivers.
There are many insurance companies to buy insurance from, and even though it’s nice to be able to choose, too many choices makes it more difficult to find the lowest cost provider.
Car insurance companies don’t always advertise every discount very clearly, so we break down some of the best known and the harder-to-find savings tricks you should be using.
Consumers should know that some of the credits will not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like you can get free auto insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Companies like Progressive, Geico, Allstate and State Farm constantly bombard you with television and radio advertisements. All the ads make the same claim about savings if you switch to them. How can each company make almost identical claims? This is how they do it.
Insurance companies have a certain “appetite” for the right customer that is profitable for them. For instance, a driver they prefer might be profiled as over the age of 50, owns a home, and has great credit. A propective insured who meets those qualifications receives the best rates and most likely will save when they switch companies.
Potential insureds who do not match the “perfect” profile will be quoted more money which usually ends up with the customer not buying. Company advertisements say “customers that switch” but not “drivers who get quotes” save that much money. That’s why companies can advertise the way they do. This emphasizes why you should quote coverage with many companies. It is impossible to predict which insurance company will give you the biggest savings on Land Rover Discovery insurance.
Learning about specific coverages of your auto insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages for your vehicles. Auto insurance terms can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the usual coverages found on most auto insurance policies.
This will pay to fix damage to your Discovery resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims like crashing into a ditch, scraping a guard rail and crashing into a building. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like damage from getting keyed, theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane, fire damage and a broken windshield. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses for things like doctor visits, surgery, pain medications, rehabilitation expenses and nursing services. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage pays for things like medical services, medical expenses, legal defense fees and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
