Companies that sell car insurance do not advertise all their discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we took the time to find some of the best known and also the lesser-known savings tricks you should be using. If you aren’t receiving every discount you qualify for, you are paying more than you should be.
As a disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Most cut the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. Just because you may think you can get free auto insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Comprehensive auto coverage
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed, hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane and falling objects. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for expenses for ambulance fees, doctor visits and nursing services. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision protection
This coverage pays for damage to your Uplander caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision insurance covers things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch, hitting a mailbox and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Liability insurance
Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.
Liability can pay for claims like medical expenses, bail bonds and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Chevy Uplander.
Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
