Taking advantage of discounts can help you save money on your car insurance. Some insurers offer a special military discount for current and former military servicemembers. Discount savings and availability vary by insurance company and state, but you could save 15% to 25% on your auto insurance premiums.
Allstate offers a discount for eligible military members who live in a certain area. Below, we break down the details of Allstate’s military discount — who qualifies, how much you could save, and more ways to cut costs on car insurance while navigating military life.
What Is the Allstate Military Discount?
Allstate offers a military discount only in Louisiana. Few insurers offer military discounts outside Louisiana, as it’s the only state requiring insurers to provide them.
Louisiana law mandates that insurance companies must provide a 25% discount on liability coverage to active-duty members of the following military branches:
Air Force
Army
Coast Guard
Marine Corps
National Guard
Navy
Reserves
You can only get the discount if you meet specific eligibility requirements, including proof of active service status and Louisiana residency. It also only applies to vehicles owned by a servicemember and insured on a Louisiana auto insurance policy.
Insurers in Louisiana must also offer discounts to veterans with at least 50% disability and military retirees.[1] Check with your Allstate agent for more details and to find out if you qualify for a military discount.
How Much Can You Save With the Allstate Military Discount?
Allstate doesn’t publicly share exact savings for its military discount, and, since it’s limited to Louisiana, customer data is sparse. Savings can vary based on coverage options, liability limits, and other policy discounts. Speak with an Allstate agent to find out how much you can save.
That said, multiple Reddit users report that Allstate has cheaper insurance rates than some military-focused car insurance companies like Armed Forces Insurance and USAA.[2]
One user said they got better coverage and saved 30% on their insurance policies by switching to Allstate from USAA. Another user compares quotes annually, and Allstate consistently offers the most affordable rates.[3] [4] [5]
