You can find a lot of wrong information about auto insurance online but we're going to give you some great ways to put money back in your pocket.

If you are paying for car insurance now, you will most likely be able to reduce your rates substantially using this strategy. Finding the best rates in Camden is easy if you know what you're doing. But Michigan vehicle owners do need to know how big insurance companies compete online.

These discounts can lower your rates

Companies don't list every available discount in an easy-to-find place, so the following is a list of some of the best known and the harder-to-find savings tricks you should be using.

Multi-policy Discount - If you have multiple policies with one insurance company you will save approximately 10% to 15%.
Employee of Federal Government - Active or retired federal employment may qualify you for a discount with certain companies.
Senior Discount - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may be able to get better auto insurance rates.
Service Members Pay Less - Being on active duty in the military may qualify for rate reductions.
Low Mileage - Fewer annual miles could qualify for discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
Student Driver Training - Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to take driver's ed class if it's offered in school.
No Accidents - Claim-free drivers pay less compared to drivers who are more careless.
Theft Prevention System - Cars that have factory anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
One Accident Forgiven - A few companies will allow you to have one accident before your rates go up if you are claim-free for a particular time prior to the accident.

Consumers should know that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. Just because it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies don't profit that way.

Are you falling for claims of savings?

Companies like Allstate and Progressive continually stream ads on television and other media. All the ads make an identical promise that you'll save big after switching to their company. How do they all say the same thing? This is how they do it.

All the different companies can use profiling for the driver that earns them a profit. A good example of a preferred risk might be profiled as between 30 and 50, is a homeowner, and has a high credit rating. A propective insured who meets those qualifications will qualify for the lowest rates and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.

Potential insureds who are not a match for the "perfect" profile will be charged more money and ends up with business not being written. The ad wording is "drivers who switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much. That's why companies can state the savings. That is why you should get a wide range of price quotes. It's not possible to predict the company that will have the lowest rates.

Do the work, save more money

As you restructure your insurance plan, you should never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. Too many times, an accident victim reduced collision coverage and discovered at claim time that they should have had better coverage. The aim is to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.

Discount auto insurance can be bought on the web and also from your neighborhood Camden agents, so compare prices from both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and many times these small insurance companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
