How to Know You're Paying Too Much for Auto Insurance in Cochranville

No one looks forward to paying for auto insurance, in particular when their premiums are too high.

Online insurance companies like GEICO and Progressive increase brand awareness with ad campaigns and consumers find it hard to sift through the bull and take the time to shop coverage around.

It's important to compare prices occasionally because prices are constantly changing. Just because you had the lowest price last year you can probably find a lower rate today. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about auto insurance because you're about to find out the proper way to get good coverage at a lower rate.

Are you getting all your discounts?

Companies do not list every available discount in a way that's easy to find, so we researched both well-publicized as well as the least known auto insurance savings.

  • Early Signing - Some insurance companies reward drivers for switching policies before your current expiration date. This can save 10% or more.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles are safer to drive and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Passive Restraint Discount - Vehicles with factory air bags or motorized seat belts can qualify for discounts of 20% or more.
  • No Accidents - Good drivers with no accidents pay much less compared to bad drivers.
  • Multi-car Discount - Buying coverage for more than one vehicle on the same auto insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Homeowners Savings - Being a homeowner may trigger a auto insurance policy discount because owning a home shows financial diligence.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, auto insurance companies aren't that generous.

Tailor your coverage to you

When choosing the best auto insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a cookie cutter policy. Everyone's needs are different so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions might point out whether you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
  • Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?
  • Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
  • Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
  • What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of auto insurance companies in your area.
