Free Guide to Cutting Costs on Fraser Car Insurance Online

Expensive car insurance can empty your personal savings and put a big crunch on your finances. Shopping your coverage around is a smart way to help make ends meet. Insurance companies such as State Farm, Allstate, GEICO and Progressive constantly bombard you with catchy ads and consumers find it hard to sift through the bull and effectively compare rates to find the best deal.

You have some control over your rates

Consumers need to have an understanding of some of the elements that help determine your car insurance rates. Having a good understanding of what influences your rates enables informed choices that will entitle you to lower car insurance prices.

The following are a partial list of the pieces car insurance companies consider when setting prices.

Occupation reflects on rates - Did you know your job can affect your rates? Careers like judges, architects and dentists tend to have the highest average rates because of high stress and lengthy work days. Other occupations such as pilots, historians and performers receive lower rates.
With age comes lower rates - More mature drivers are more cautious drivers, tend to file fewer claims and get fewer tickets. Young drivers are known to be less responsible when driving and because of this, their car insurance rates are much higher.
Marriage pays dividends - Having a wife or husband can get you a discount when buying car insurance. Having a significant other means you're more mature and it's proven that married drivers get in fewer accidents.
Drive a safer car and pay less - Cars with high safety ratings are cheaper to insure. The safest vehicles reduce injuries and fewer injuries translates into savings for insurance companies and more competitive rates for policyholders.
How's your driving record? - Careful drivers have lower premiums compared to drivers with tickets. Just one speeding ticket can boost insurance rates by as much as thirty percent. If you have flagrant violations like reckless driving, hit and run or driving under the influence may find they need to submit a SR-22 form with their state motor vehicle department in order to keep their license.

Are you getting all your discounts?

Companies don't always advertise every discount in a way that's easy to find, so we researched some of the more common as well as the least known car insurance savings. If you aren't receiving every discount you deserve, you are paying more than you should be.

Government Employees - Employees or retirees of the government can save as much as 8% with a few car insurance companies.
Distant Student - Children who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle can be insured at a reduced rate.
Own a Home - Simply owning a home may trigger a car insurance policy discount due to the fact that maintaining a home shows financial diligence.
Service Members Pay Less - Having a deployed family member may qualify for rate reductions.
Good Student Discount - This discount can get you a discount of up to 25%. Earning this discount can benefit you well after school through age 25.

It's important to note that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only reduce individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like it's possible to get free car insurance, you're out of luck.

How can Progressive, Allstate and GEICO save drivers who switch?

Consumers can't ignore all the ads for car insurance savings by Progressive, Allstate and GEICO. They all say the same thing that you can save after switching to their company.

How can each company make the same claim?

All companies have a preferred profile for the driver that makes them money. For instance, a driver they prefer could be a mature driver, insures multiple vehicles, and drives newer vehicles. A customer who fits that profile will get the preferred rates and as a result will probably save when they switch companies.

Potential customers who are not a match for the requirements will be quoted a higher premium which usually ends up with business going elsewhere. The ads state "customers that switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much. This is how insurance companies can claim big savings. This emphasizes why you should compare many company's rates. Because you never know which insurance companies will give you the biggest savings.

Tailor your coverage to you

When buying the best car insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Everyone's needs are different so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions may help you determine whether you would benefit from professional advice.

Best coverage at the best price

When trying to cut insurance costs, it's not a good idea to buy poor coverage just to save money. There are too many instances where drivers have reduced liability coverage limits only to discover later that it was a big mistake. Your strategy should be to get the best coverage possible at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.

Lower-priced car insurance can be sourced from both online companies and also from your neighborhood Fraser agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best rate selection. A few companies may not provide online price quotes and these small, regional companies work with independent agents.
