- Accident-Free Discounts – Good drivers with no accidents pay much less as opposed to insureds who have frequent claims or accidents.

- Distant Student Discount – Any of your kids who live away from home at college and don’t have a car may be able to be covered for less.
- Waiver for an Accident – This one isn’t a discount, but companies like Liberty Mutual, Allstate and State Farm permit an accident without getting socked with a rate hike as long as you don’t have any claims for a particular time prior to the accident.
- Government Employees – Employees or retirees of the government can save as much as 8% but check with your company.
- Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Drivers who require all occupants to buckle up could save 15% on the medical payments or PIP coverage costs.

Coverages available on your car insurance policy
Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like rock chips in glass, damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a bird, theft and damage from getting keyed. The most your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Pontiac G6.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits (30/60/25 in Texas), their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.
Liability
Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see limits of 30/60/25 which stand for $30,000 bodily injury coverage, $60,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for things such as repair costs for stationary objects, structural damage, medical services and pain and suffering. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible. Texas state law requires minimum liability limits of 30/60/25 but it’s recommended drivers buy higher limits.
Collision insurance
Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision insurance covers things like colliding with a tree, backing into a parked car, sustaining damage from a pot hole and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible on your G6 to bring the cost down.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses for dental work, doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses, EMT expenses and prosthetic devices. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Be persistent and save
In this article, we presented quite a bit of information on how to shop for Pontiac G6 insurance online. The most important thing to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the higher the chance of saving money. You may even be surprised to find that the best price on insurance is with the smaller companies.
When shopping online for insurance, you should never skimp on coverage in order to save money. Too many times, an insured dropped liability limits or collision coverage only to regret they didn’t have enough coverage. Your focus should be to purchase plenty of coverage at the lowest possible cost and still be able to protect your assets.
Drivers change insurance companies for many reasons like extreme rates for teen drivers, not issuing a premium refund, policy cancellation or unfair underwriting practices. It doesn’t matter what your reason, choosing a new insurance company is easier than you think.
