Can you get new car insurance discounts for certain types of cars?

Sure you can.

If you have a brand new car that is getting a title for the very first time since it is fresh out of the factory, then there are a lot of car insurance companies who will provide you with a car insurance discount in this instance. That’s good news for anybody getting new cars, because the expenses are already huge. Newer cars have higher rates for car insurance premiums, and so this makes it easier to handle the higher threshold of coverage for a new vehicle.

Here are some types of cars that receive discounts for their class of cars.

  • Cars that are economic. You can get a new car insurance discount for an economic car, especially on your collision coverage rate, because the parts are easier and cheaper to come by and the labor is cheaper for these kinds of cars. Another great thing about them is that they are often less expensive for you to maintain, so you win on all sides.
  • Discount for utility vehicles. Several different car insurance companies offer car insurance discounts for certain types of pickup trucks. Call your car insurance company and ask if they do this, and for what kinds.
  • Safety ratings. Cars go through safety crash tests that determine how they will hold up in the case of several different types of accidents, both concerning the car itself and the people inside of it. Cars who perform better get better safety ratings as well as better car insurance rates.
