Your Service Earns More Than a Thank You
Active duty service members, veterans, and their families often qualify for significant auto insurance discounts that most drivers don't have access to. Military discounts reflect both the financial sacrifice of service and the typically favorable risk profile of military drivers.
If you're active duty, a veteran, a reservist, or a member of a military household, comparing carriers who actively compete for military business can save you hundreds of dollars per year.
Military-Specific Insurance Benefits
| Benefit | Who Qualifies | Typical Value |
|---|---|---|
| Military service discount | Active duty, veterans, reservists | 5 – 15% off premium |
| Deployment storage discount | Active duty deployed overseas | Up to 60% reduction while deployed |
| Overseas coverage | Active duty stationed abroad | Varies by carrier |
| Family member discount | Spouses and dependents in household | 5 – 10% |
| Preferred rate programs | Military-affiliated carriers | Competitive baseline rates |
ⓘ Benefits and eligibility vary by carrier, branch of service, and state.
