Home and auto insurance are unique considerations when living in Oklahoma. Insurance companies offer discounts to help make policies more affordable. Insurance discounts can reduce your premiums significantly, regardless of whether you have a car or home.
 
1.Multiple-policy discounts

A bundle of insurance policies with one provider can result in substantial savings. Insurers may offer significant discounts when you combine your auto and home policies. One of the easiest ways to reduce costs across multiple insurance types is to do this.

2. Defensive Driving Course

Taking a defensive driving course may give up to a 5% credit on auto rate. This difference can be noticeable the younger the driver is.
 
3. Safe Driver

Safe driving is rewarded by most auto insurers. If you have a clean driving record, free of accidents or claims, you may qualify for discounts especially if you've been accident-free for several years.
 
4. Telematic devices

Many Oklahoma auto carriers now offer additional discounts or credits for using safe-driving apps or telematic devices that monitor driving habits. These programs track behaviors like speed, braking, and acceleration, offering personalized feedback and rewarding safe practices. For cautious drivers, enrolling in a telematics program can lead to significant savings on premiums, making it an appealing option for those already committed to safe driving. By using a telematic device or app, drivers not only enhance their road awareness but can also enjoy ongoing cost benefits as their safe habits are recorded and rewarded by insurers.

Some insurance carriers are now offering discounts on homeowners’ policies for using telematic devices. While typically used in auto insurance, telematics can also be applied to home monitoring, offering insights into property safety and usage patterns. Telematic devices can track conditions like temperature, humidity, and even potential hazards, alerting homeowners to risks such as leaks, fires, or electrical issues. By leveraging this technology, policyholders not only gain peace of mind but may also qualify for premium savings, as insurers see the proactive monitoring as reducing the likelihood of costly claims.

5. Discounts for loyal customers
The benefits of staying with the same insurance company are also worth considering. Many companies reward long-term customers with lower premiums if they have not filed a claim in recent years.
 
6. Student discounts

Insurers often offer discounts for students who maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher, which can help lower the cost of insurance not just minor aged drivers but also for the student's attending college from ages typically 18-22.

Another discount is if teenagers take and pass a student driving course.
 
6. Security and Protective Device Discounts
Homeowners may be able to reduce insurance premiums by installing monitored security and/or fire systems.
 
7. Discounts for the military and seniors
The Oklahoma insurance industry offers special discounts for military personnel, veterans, and seniors which can assist in reduce rates.

8. New roof

If you replaced your roof either due to a claim or paid fully out of pocket, inform your agent. A new roof can help reduce your home rate significantly.

9. Leak Detection

Some insurance carriers now offer a valuable leak detection credit for homeowners who install water leak detection systems. This credit can help lower premiums and, more importantly, incentivizes proactive steps to prevent water damage, a common and costly home insurance claim. Leak detection devices can quickly alert homeowners to potential water issues, minimizing the risk of mold, structural damage, and costly repairs. Homeowners looking to save on insurance costs while protecting their property may want to explore this credit with their carrier.

10. Electronic Discounts

Many insurance carriers now provide electronic discounts, such as e-sign and digital document delivery credits, on homeowners’ policies. These discounts reward policyholders who opt for electronic transactions, which not only simplify the policy management process but also reduce paperwork, postage, and environmental impact. By choosing e-signatures and online document access, homeowners can enjoy added convenience while saving on their premiums, making it an easy way to benefit from going digital.
 

Conclusion:
By being proactive and taking advantage of these discounts, Oklahoma residents can enjoy quality coverage without overspending. With a little research and communication with your agent, you will be able to uncover all the potential savings that your insurer offers.
