There is too much inaccurate information about auto insurance on the internet, so I'm going to show you some great ways to put money back in your pocket.

This information will help educate you on the best way to quote coverages. If you currently have a car insurance policy, you should be able to cut costs considerably using this information. Ohio vehicle owners just need to know how to compare prices online.

How much can you save with discounts?

The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but you can get discounts to help offset the cost. Most are applied when you get a quote, but a few must be asked about before you will receive the discount. If you're not getting every credit possible, you are throwing money away.

  • Senior Citizens - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you can possibly qualify for better auto insurance rates.
  • Clubs and Organizations - Being a member of a qualifying organization could trigger savings on auto insurance.
  • Pay Upfront and Save - If paying your policy premium upfront instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.
  • College Student - Any of your kids who are attending college without a vehicle on campus can receive lower rates.
  • Sign Online - A few companies may give you up to $50 for buying a policy and signing up over the internet.
  • No Charge for an Accident - Certain companies will allow you to have one accident before your rates go up as long as you don't have any claims for a set time period.
  • Braking Control Discount - Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes prevent accidents and will save you 10% or more.
  • Drivers Education - Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to complete a driver education course in high school.
  • No Accidents - Drivers with accident-free driving histories pay much less as compared to drivers who are more careless.
  • Drive Less and Save - Keeping the miles down could be rewarded with better rates on cars that stay parked.

Drivers should understand that many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn't make money that way. But all discounts will bring down the amount you have to pay.

Save 15 percent in 15 minutes? Is it for real?

Consumers in Ohio get pounded daily by advertisements that promise big savings by Progressive, GEICO, Allstate and State Farm. They all seem to make the same claim that you'll save big if you move to their company.

How does each company claim to save you money? This is how they do it.

Insurance companies are able to cherry pick for the driver that earns them a profit. For instance, a desirable insured might be over the age of 40, has no driving citations, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. A customer getting a price quote who matches those parameters will get the preferred rates and is almost guaranteed to save when switching.

Drivers who don't meet these standards will have to pay higher premiums which leads to the customer not buying. The ads state "drivers who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that much. That's the way companies can advertise the way they do.

Because of the profiling, you should compare many company's rates. It's impossible to know which auto insurance company will provide you with the cheapest rates.

Best coverage at the best price

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it's very important that you do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are many occasions where someone sacrificed collision coverage and learned later that the savings was not a smart move. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price.

Budget-conscious auto insurance is possible both online and also from your neighborhood Conneaut agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some auto insurance companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.

Insureds who switch companies do it for any number of reasons including not issuing a premium refund, questionable increases in premium, unfair underwriting practices and even an unsatisfactory settlement offer. It doesn't matter what your reason, switching auto insurance companies is less work than it seems.
