Q: If I have a car alarm standard on my vehicle, can I get a discount?

AIS Answer: It’s possible yes. There are many insurance companies that offer discounts for anti-theft devices.

The most common types of anti-theft devices are car alarms both passive and non-passive. If you have a passive or non-passive car alarm on your vehicle you should contact your insurance company and ask them if they provide a discount for the device.

If you’re looking at getting a passive or non-passive aftermarket car alarm installed on your vehicle, again check with your insurance company to see if there’s a discount for the new device.

It’s a good idea to get a few free quotes online or over the phone to see if you can save money by getting discounts that may not apply with your current auto insurance company.
