Discounts, Discounts, Discounts

In this day and age everyone is trying to save money. In fact, so much, that the last sentence I used is considered cliché by now. The point is we know how you feel and we know the financial struggles you are going through. Because of this we are trying to work with your fiscal decisions in these problematic times. That's why we have a myriad of auto discounts available to you.

To begin with, if you were to sign up with our platinum coverage option you would already be eligible for the following benefits: Accident Forgiveness, Good Driving Bonus, Deductible Deduction, and New Car Replacement. Accident Forgiveness is what it says. This option will help keep your rates from going up just because of an accident. We should also mention this applies to any accidents that also may be your fault. That’s right I said it. Allstate recognizes that people aren’t perfect. If we can have a 10% leeway on our diets why can’t we have a little forgiveness on the road? With the Good Driving Bonus for every six months of accident-free driving you’ll have the opportunity to receive up to 5% off your premium. If you’re a good driver you’ll receive what we call Deductible Deduction. You’ll get $100 off your Collision deductible the day you sign up and $100 off every year you go without an accident! You could get as much as $500 off your deductible! Lastly there’s the New Car Replacement benefit. If your new car gets totaled within the first three years you will receive a new car, not just the depreciated value.

Extra discounts include:

DISCOUNTS FOR SAFE DRIVERS
Premier Discount - If you’ve been safe on the road and accident-free for the past three years, and you’re also clear of any moving violations, you might qualify for the auto insurance Premier Discount.

Premier Plus Discount - The best auto insurance discount yet, the Premier Plus could be yours if you’re a safe driver with no moving violations, who’s been accident-free for the past five years.

Defensive Driver Discount - If you’re 55 or older you could save on your premiums by taking an approved defensive-driving class.

DISCOUNTS FOR SAFE CARS

Passive Restraint Systems - If your car came equipped with airbags, or factory-installed motorized seatbelts, you could receive a Passive Restraint Discount on your auto insurance.

Anti-Lock Brakes - Alternately, if your car has factory-installed ABS (all-wheel, anti-lock braking system), this discount can bring your premiums down.

Anti-Theft Devices - We can save you money if your car came equipped with approved anti-theft devices.

Your Homeowners Insurance

Hurricane season officially starts on June 1st and ends on November 30th. That means we’ve made it through one month untouched! Unfortunately, we still have five months to go. I know a lot of you were ecstatic to get out of school when you did but we believe education is vital. We would hate to know that you weren’t informed of the fact that your homeowners insurance does not cover flood and it is now more important than ever that you know this. To see the flood risk in your area click here.

As mentioned earlier we have a dangerous couple of months ahead of us and no part of Florida is truly safe. Hurricanes aside we all know how sporadic the weather can be. Summer showers are by no means a new concept to us and unfortunately even these seemingly harmless showers produce a threat. A number of you are located in a Tropical Storm zone which means that these fun and friendly rainy days can be quite dangerous. An inch of water in your home could cost you up to $8,000 in damages!

But this is why we are here. To give you peace of mind so that you and your family won’t have to worry one bit about what may happen in the future. And in turn you can safely and proactively work towards the future you envision. You’re in good hands.
