Irvine insurance discounts for a Honda Ridgeline
Some companies don’t always list every possible discount very well, so we break down both well-publicized in addition to some of the lesser obvious discounts that you may qualify for.
- Early Switch Discount – Some insurance companies give discounts for renewing your policy early. The savings is around 10%.
- Good Grades Discount – Being a good student can get you a discount of up to 25%. Most companies allow this discount until age 25.
- Organization Discounts – Being in a professional or civic organization could trigger savings on your next insurance statement.
- Telematics Devices – Irvine drivers who agree to allow driving data collection to analyze their driving habits by installing a telematics device like In-Drive from State Farm and Progressive’s Snapshot may get a rate reduction if their driving habits are good.
- Active Military Service – Having a deployed family member could trigger a small discount.
- ABS Brakes – Cars and trucks with anti-lock braking systems can avoid accidents and the ABS can save up to 10%.
- Waiver for an Accident – This isn’t a discount exactly, but some companies like Allstate, Progressive, and GEICO will forgive one accident before hitting you with a surcharge as long as you don’t have any claims before the accident.
- Early Payment Discounts – By paying your entire bill at once instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may have a lower total premium amount.
It’s important to note that most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. If you do the math and it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, you aren’t that lucky.
