Many companies offer discounts based on certain qualifications. These can include having a clean driving record, completing advanced driving courses, being a member of specific clubs affiliated with the insurance company, or being retired. Additionally, if the provider offers other insurance products, bundling your auto insurance with homeowners or life insurance could also result in a lower premium. We recommend contacting our agents to inquire about the discounts that allow you to obtain cheap car insurance.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                <div class=\"c-faqs-answers__answer\">\n                                                <h3 class=\"c-faqs-answers__question\" id=\"question5\">What Does \u201cFull Coverage\u201d Mean?<\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"c-faqs-answers__text\">\n                                                    <div class=\"s-cms-content\">\n                                                        <p>Full coverage is the combination of liability, collision and comprehensive insurance.
