Oklahoma Residents' Top Insurance Discounts

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.

If you own a business in Oklahoma—whether it's a coffee shop in Norman, a contractor in Moore, or a bakery in Edmond—you’ve probably asked yourself, “How much should I be paying for insurance?” It’s a smart question. Business insurance isn’t just a legal box to check. It’s about protecting your dream, your income, and the people who help make it happen every day. While our focus is on serving Oklahoma businesses, it’s worth noting that Conway Insurance is also licensed in Texas. So if you have operations across state lines or are expanding, we’ve got you covered there too. In this guide, we’ll break down what business insurance really costs, why it varies so much, and how you can keep premiums manageable without leaving yourself exposed. No industry speak. Just straight answers, examples from right here in our state, and a few tips from folks who’ve seen a thing or two. 🧐 The Real-World Cost of Business Insurance in Oklahoma. Let’s start with the numbers. These aren’t just for OKC and Tulsa—we’re talking about the real-world costs faced by business owners from Altus to Miami, from Woodward to Idabel, and everywhere in between. On average, here's what small business owners in Oklahoma are paying each month: - General Liability : $50–$125 - Commercial Property : $75–$250 - Workers’ Compensation (per employee): $90–$300 - Commercial Auto : $100–$175 per vehicle - Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) : $100–$275 💡 Pro Tip: Bundling policies into a BOP can save you up to 25%—and keep the paperwork to a minimum. Last month, we worked with a contractor in Moore who was paying over $6,000 annually through a direct carrier. After reviewing their setup, we bundled their coverage through two A-rated carriers and dropped their premium to $4,700—plus added inland marine coverage they didn’t even know they needed. Their response? “Why didn’t someone show me this sooner?” 🧐 Why Insurance Costs Vary from Business to Business? We get this a lot: “Why is my friend’s insurance cheaper than mine?” And the answer is, it depends. Insurance is priced based on risk—and risk looks different depending on what you do, where you are, and how much coverage you need. Your industry is a major factor. A retail store has fewer hazards than a construction company. Your location matters too. Businesses in hail-prone or high-crime ZIP codes will generally pay more. Then there’s your payroll and revenue. Higher revenue typically means more exposure, and more employees means a bigger workers’ comp bill. Your claims history also plays a role. If you’ve had several recent claims, your rate will reflect that. But if you’ve been claim-free, you may qualify for credits or preferred pricing. 💰 How to Pay Less Without Cutting Coverage? Let’s be honest: Nobody loves paying for insurance. But there are ways to get the coverage you need at a price that doesn’t sting. a. Bundle everything you can. That’s why BOPs exist—to combine liability and property into one, simplified (and discounted) plan. b. Ask about discounts. You’d be surprised how many carriers offer savings for things like monitored alarms, e-signatures, or safety training. c. Control your losses. Prevent claims by maintaining safe workplaces, training staff, and checking equipment regularly. Carriers reward businesses that take risk seriously. d. Review your policy every year. Businesses evolve. So should your coverage. We’ve seen folks still paying premiums based on outdated revenue or property values. e. Work with an independent agent . Captive agents are tied to one brand. We’re not. At Conway Insurance , we look at the whole market to find the best fit you — not just the “in-house” option. 💬 A client in Yukon put it best: “I thought I was covered until y’all pointed out two gaps in my old policy. Now I’ve got better protection and I’m paying less. It was a no-brainer.” 🌪️ Business Insurance Isn’t Just a “Nice to Have”. We live in Tornado Alley. That means storms, hail, wind, and unpredictable weather are just part of life. But there are other risks too— data breaches , customer injuries, and even broken HVAC systems during a heatwave. One uninsured event can wipe out everything you’ve worked for. Good business insurance gives you staying power. Whether you're a bakery in Edmond, a tech startup in OKC, or a landscaping crew in Mustang, the right policy keeps your business running when the unexpected happens. We’re not here to scare you—we’re here to help you sleep better at night. 🗓️ Ready to Talk Through Your Options?
