Save on Insurance with Guidepoint

Vehicles equipped with a Guidepoint System may qualify for a discount on insurance. Many states require insurers to provide a discount, and a growing number of national carriers are offering discounts for anti-theft and stolen vehicle recovery systems.

According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have regulations that require insurers to provide car owners with discounts on the base rates for comprehensive insurance for antitheft devices.

In four other states, insurers may offer these discounts or are encouraged to offer them. The amount of the discount varies, but is generally 15 to 20 percent for passive devices like Guidepoint, which are automatically activated when the vehicle is locked. Massachusetts residents are eligible for a minimum 25 percent discount if they have both an antitheft device and an auto recovery system, and some combinations of devices can result in a 36 percent discount.

Insurance companies in states that do not mandate discounts, such as Georgia, New Jersey, New York and Washington, encourage car owners to install antitheft devices by voluntarily providing discounts.

When you shop for auto insurance, be sure to tell your agent that you have a Guidepoint stolen vehicle recovery and anti-theft device in your vehicle. Make sure they know there is never any renewable fee for your stolen vehicle recovery service and that the Guidepoint is good for as long as you own your vehicle.
