Auto Insurance Discount Programs

April 1, 2008 has come and gone and Massachusetts’ consumers wonder if they are getting the best deal on auto insurance.

If you have a home, apartment or condominium insurance then make sure you package that policy with your auto. The big, new auto discount is the “Companion policy or Account discount.” For the past 30 years the “account discount” has been applied only to one’s home insurance policy. Discounts are now being applied to auto insurance policies.

If you don’t have a home, condo or apartment policy and don’t plan on getting one (in some cases, it might actually make financial sense to purchase a renter’s policy) then where are the discounts?

Some of the new, April 1st Massachusetts auto insurance discount programs include:

GOOD STUDENT DISCOUNTS

STUDENTS AWAY AT SCHOOL DISCOUNTS

ADDITIONAL GOOD DRIVER DISCOUNTS (FOR “STEP” 99 & 98 DRIVERS)

ADDITIONAL MULTI-CAR DISCOUNTS

HYBRID VEHICLE DISCOUNTS

ADVANCED DRIVER TRAINING DISCOUNTS 

In addition to new programs some companies continue to offer Open Group Discounts.

For example, following please find a link to a listing of Safety Insurance Company’s Open Group Discounts:
