FAQ

Discount Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about maximizing car insurance discounts

Can I really save 40% with discounts?

Yes, many drivers achieve 30-40% savings by stacking multiple discounts. The key is qualifying for major discounts like multi-policy bundling (15-30%), safe driver (10-20%), and multi-car (10-25%). Combined with smaller discounts, total savings can reach 40% or more, though most carriers cap total discounts around 40-45%.

Which discounts can be combined?

Most discounts can be stacked except for competing new customer and loyalty discounts, or multiple usage-based programs. The best combinations typically include: bundling + multi-car + safe driver + payment discounts + eligible group discounts. Each carrier has different stacking rules, so we help you find the best combination.

What's the easiest discount to get?

Paperless billing and automatic payment discounts are the easiest - just sign up online for 3-5% each. Pay-in-full saves 5-10% if you can afford it. Early shopping (getting quotes 30+ days before renewal) often triggers 5-10% discounts automatically. These require no special qualifications.

How does the good student discount work?

Students under 25 with a B average (3.0 GPA) or better can save 8-15%. Provide a transcript or report card as proof. The discount typically applies until age 25 or graduation. Some carriers also accept Dean's List, honor roll, or top 20% class rank.

Is the defensive driving discount worth it?

In NJ, a 6-hour defensive driving course provides 5-10% discount for 3 years, plus 2 point reduction on your license. Courses cost around $30-50, so you'll save that in the first few months. It's especially valuable if you have points or violations.

How much can I save with usage-based insurance?

Safe drivers who drive less than 10,000 miles annually can save 10-30% with telematics programs. These programs track mileage, braking, acceleration, and time of day. Low-mileage drivers and those who avoid rush hour see the biggest savings.

Do all carriers offer the same discounts?

No, discount availability and amounts vary significantly between carriers. Some excel at multi-policy discounts, others at good student or military discounts. That's why comparing multiple carriers is crucial - the "cheapest" carrier depends on which discounts you qualify for.

When should I ask about discounts?

Always ask about discounts when getting initial quotes, at renewal time, and whenever your situation changes (marriage, home purchase, new job). Don't assume discounts are automatically applied - explicitly ask about each one you might qualify for.
