What determines how much you pay?

It's important that you understand the factors that come into play when calculating the price you pay for auto insurance. When you know what positively or negatively influences your rates allows you to make educated decisions that will entitle you to lower auto insurance prices.

Lower rates with optional equipment - Owning a car that has an advanced theft prevention system can help lower your rates. Anti-theft devices such as GM's OnStar, tamper alarm systems and vehicle immobilizers can help prevent auto theft.
Do you qualify for a multi-policy discount? - The majority of insurance companies provide better rates to customers who carry more than one policy, otherwise known as a multi-policy discount. Even with this discount, you may still want to shop around to make sure you are getting the best deal.
An active claims history can cost you - Companies in North Dakota generally give discounts to drivers who file claims infrequently. If you tend to file frequent claims, you can definitely plan on higher rates. Auto insurance is designed for larger claims.
Do you need those extra coverages? - There are a lot of additional coverages that can waste your money on your auto insurance policy. Things like roadside assistance, accident forgiveness and motor club memberships are some examples. These coverages may sound good at first, but if you don't need them remove them from your policy.

Take advantage of discounts

Insuring your fleet can be pricey, but there are discounts available that can drop the cost substantially. A few discounts will automatically apply at quote time, but some may not be applied and must be requested specifically in order for you to get them. If you don't get every credit you qualify for, you're just leaving money on the table.

Military Rewards - Being deployed with a military unit can result in better rates.
Multiple Policy Discount - When you have multiple policies with the same company you may earn up to 20% off your total premium.
Federal Employees - Simply working for the federal government can save as much as 8% with a few auto insurance companies.
Anti-theft Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
Defensive Driving Course - Completing a course in driver safety can save you 5% or more depending on where you live.

Keep in mind that some credits don't apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like it's possible to get free car insurance, it just doesn't work that way. But any discount will help reduce your overall premium however.
