These six discounts can slash insurance coverage rates

The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but there are discounts available that many people don’t even know exist. Certain discounts will be applied when you get a quote, but some must be asked about before you will receive the discount. If you don’t get every credit possible, you’re paying more than you need to.

  • Anti-lock Brake Discount – Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems are safer to drive and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Paperwork-free – A few companies will give a small break for buying your policy digitally online.
  • Resident Student – Any of your kids who attend school more than 100 miles from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle may be able to be covered for less.
  • Theft Prevention Discount – Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems are stolen less frequently and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Multiple Vehicles – Having multiple vehicles on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Federal Government Employee – Active or retired federal employment can earn a discount up to 10% on ILX insurance with select insurance companies.

Information about specific coverages

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Collision protection

This coverage covers damage to your ILX caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims like driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole, rolling your car and crashing into a ditch. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as medical services, repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like falling objects, damage from getting keyed, theft and damage from flooding. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Acura ILX.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses like chiropractic care, funeral costs, pain medications and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

A penny saved is a penny earned

As you prepare to switch companies, it’s a bad idea to skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. In many cases, an accident victim reduced comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to regret they didn’t have enough coverage. Your strategy should be to get the best coverage possible at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.

Low-cost 2013 Acura ILX insurance can be purchased from both online companies as well as from independent agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies don’t offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these regional insurance providers sell through independent agents.

We just showed you many ways to save on insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more times you quote, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. You may even find the lowest premiums are with a small mutual company.
