5 Tips To Help You Save On Auto Insurance

Get Different Auto Insurance Quotes
With all the auto insurance companies out there and all the different auto insurance quoting services, insurance rates can sometimes vary drastically. It is not uncommon for these rates to vary as much as $500-$600, or more. It is a good idea to get at least three quotes to compare, but make sure you are comparing the same insurance coverage in all quotes.

Make Sure You Take Advantage Of All Available Distounts
Auto insurance discounts will vary by insurance company, but some of the more common discounts may include:
Homeowner’s Discount
Multi-Car Discount
Driver Training Discount
Good Student Discount
Safety Discount
College Student Discount

Customize Your Auto Insurance Coverage
Collision coverage in an auto insurance policy may account for 30% to 40% of the total insurance premium. Both comprehensive and collision auto coverage provide for repair or replacement of your vehicle on a “replacement cost” basis, in other words, on a depreciated value basis. So, if your auto isn’t worth the cost of this additional coverage, you may not need it. Other optional insurance coverage that may be available may include towing and labor or rental reimbursement.

Increase Your Auto Insurance Deductible
You probably already know that the deductible in an auto insurance policy is a stated amount you pay before the insurance company starts paying your auto claim. The more of the insurance risk that you take on yourself, the lower the auto insurance premium.

Make Sure Your Credit Record Is Accurate
Many auto insurance companies today use an Insurance Score to arrive at your insurance premium. The insurance company is looking for how you have used your credit. This “hit” on your credit is not supposed to show up like an application for a loan would. If there are items in your credit record that don’t belong to you, they could affect your auto insurance premium.
