Why some people pay less for insurance in Greenwood

An important part of buying insurance is that you know the different types of things that play a part in calculating the price you pay for auto insurance. Understanding what impacts premium levels allows you to make educated decisions that may reward you with much lower annual insurance costs.

Shown below are a partial list of the pieces companies use to determine rates.

Where you reside plays a part - Residing in small towns and rural areas can be a good thing when insuring your vehicles. Lower population means fewer accidents as well as less vandalism and auto theft. City drivers regularly have much more traffic to deal with and longer commute times. Higher commute times means more change of being in an accident.
Men are more aggressive - Statistics have proven that men are more aggressive behind the wheel. Now that doesn't mean women are better drivers. Both sexes tend to get into accidents in similar numbers, but the males tend to have more serious accidents. They also receive more costly citations such as DWI and reckless driving.
Safer cars cost less to insure - Vehicles with high crash test scores can get you lower premiums. These vehicles result in less severe injuries and lower injury rates translates into savings for insurance companies and lower rates for you.
Don't get talked into coverage you don't need - There are quite a few add-on coverages that you can buy on your auto insurance policy. Coverages like roadside assistance, towing coverage and motor club memberships may be costing you every month. These may sound like a good investment when talking to your agent, but if you don't need them get rid of them and save.
Drive less and save money - The higher the mileage driven in a year's time the more you will pay for auto insurance. Most companies apply a rate based upon how you use the vehicle. Cars and trucks used primarily for pleasure use receive lower rates than those used for commuting. Double check that your auto insurance declarations sheet is showing the correct usage for each vehicle, because improper ratings can cost you money.

But I don't know anything about car insurance

When choosing the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no one size fits all plan. Every insured's situation is different so your insurance should reflect that These are some specific questions may help you determine if your situation might need an agent's assistance.

Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?

Auto insurance ads bend the truth

Arkansas consumers can't get away from ads for car insurance savings by companies like GEICO, State Farm and Progressive. They all seem to make an identical promise about savings if you change to them.

How do they all make almost identical claims? This is how they do it.

Insurance companies have a preferred profile for the type of driver that is profitable for them. For instance, a desirable insured could possibly be between the ages of 30 and 50, insures multiple vehicles, and has a short commute. A driver who meets those qualifications is entitled to the best price and most likely will cut their rates substantially.

Potential insureds who fall outside the "perfect" profile will have to pay more money and ends up with the driver buying from a lower-cost company. Company advertisements say "drivers who switch" not "people who quote" save money. This is how companies can truthfully make the claims of big savings. Because of the profiling, drivers must get quotes from several different companies. It is impossible to predict which insurance companies will fit your personal profile best.

And the best car insurance company is...

As you shop your coverage around, you should never reduce coverage to reduce premium. In many instances, drivers have reduced collision coverage and learned later that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. The ultimate goal is to buy enough coverage for the lowest price.

The cheapest auto insurance is attainable online and with local Greenwood insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance providers do not offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.
