How Safe Driving and Loyalty Helps Reduce Your Car Insurance Rates

At Mapfre Insurance, we value safe driving and loyalty.

When you have your vehicle insured with Mapfre and maintain a good driving record, you can take advantage of several value programs and discounts that could help you save on your annual premium.

Have a Good Driving Record
The key to getting and keeping a reasonable rate with any insurance company is maintaining a good driving record. Insurance companies like Mapfre provide better rates to safer drivers than to those who have had several accidents, claims and/or minor violations.

Type of Vehicle You Drive
Auto insurance premiums are based on the type of vehicle you drive, how much the vehicle costs to purchase, and the vehicle’s level of safety.

When you buy a vehicle, whether new or used, you should consider these questions that could factor into your auto insurance costs:

  • What is the vehicle’s safety record?
  • What is the average cost to repair that make and model should you have an accident?
  • What’s the likelihood that your vehicle’s make and model will have a break-in or be stolen?

If you’re not sure how to evaluate a vehicle’s safety rating, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a great resource when you’re car shopping.

Maximize Discounts
There are a number of ways you can save on your annual auto insurance premium with Mapfre. In addition to bundling your policies, you could benefit from Mapfre’s Good Student discount, the Student away from home discount, and the Clean in Three discount.

Other Ways to Save
If you sign up for MotionSmartSM, a usage based insurance option that utilizes a smartphone app and analyzes your driving behaviors, you could receive up to a 2% discount on your initial enrollment and up to a 20% discount at renewal – providing you maintain a good driving record.

When you add Mapfre’s Accident Forgiveness feature to your policy, if you or someone on your policy gets into an at-fault accident, your premium won’t increase because of the incident.

If still have questions on your policy and how you might be able to save, your independent agent can always help you review your information to make sure you have the right coverage to suit your individualized needs. And if you are not a Mapfre customer yet, you can always contact an agent in your state to get a quote or a fast, free car insurance quote in Massachusetts to get outstanding coverage at a great price.
