Scraping up a payment for overpriced car insurance can overdraw your personal savings and put a big crunch on your finances. Doing a price comparison is a great way to make sure you're not throwing money away.

Numerous battle for your hard-earned dollar, and because of this it can be hard to compare and uncover the absolute lowest rate

If you currently have car insurance, you will be able to lower your premiums substantially using these methods. Buying car insurance in Mc Comb is easy if you know what you're doing. But Ohio consumers do need to know how insurance companies sell online and apply this information to your search.

Save big with these ten discounts

Companies don't list every discount in an easy-to-find place, so we took the time to find both the well known and the more hidden discounts you could be receiving.

  • No Accidents - Drivers who don't have accidents can save substantially when compared to drivers who are more careless.
  • Paperwork-free - Some insurance companies may give you up to $50 for buying a policy and signing up on their website.
  • Driver Safety - Taking a defensive driving course could cut 5% off your bill if you qualify.
  • Senior Citizens - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may be able to get better car insurance rates.
  • Student Driver Training - Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to successfully complete driver's ed class if it's offered in school.
  • Seat Belt Usage - Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to wear their seat belts could cut 10% or more off your PIP or medical payments premium.
  • Clubs and Organizations - Being a member of certain professional organizations may earn a discount when shopping for car insurance.
  • Early Switch Discount - A few companies offer discounts for buying a policy prior to your current policy expiring. It's a savings of about 10%.
  • Anti-theft System - Vehicles with anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Accident Waiver - A few companies permit an accident before your rates go up if your claims history is clear for a certain period of time.

Drivers should understand that some credits don't apply to all coverage premiums. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies wouldn't make money that way.

Car insurance ads bend the truth

Car insurance providers like Progressive, Allstate and GEICO continually stream ads on TV and radio. They all have a common claim that you'll save big after switching to their company. How do they all claim to save you money?

Different companies have a preferred profile for the driver that earns them a profit. For example, a driver they prefer might be over the age of 50, insures multiple vehicles, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. Any new insured that hits that "sweet spot" will qualify for the lowest rates and most likely will cut their rates substantially.

Drivers who fall outside the "perfect" profile will be quoted higher premiums and this can result in the customer not buying. The ad wording is "people who switch" not "people who quote" save that much. This is how companies can advertise the way they do. This emphasizes why drivers should get a wide range of price quotes. It's just too difficult to predict which insurance companies will provide you with the cheapest rates.

More detailed Ohio car insurance information can be found at the Ohio Department of Insurance website. Visitors are able to read industry bulletins, get help finding coverage, discover disciplinary actions, and learn about insurance regulations.

Affordable insurance is out there

Budget-conscious car insurance can be sourced both online and also from your neighborhood Mc Comb agents, and you should be comparing both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some car insurance companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and these regional insurance providers work with independent agents.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, you should never skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are too many instances where drivers have reduced physical damage coverage only to discover later that the savings was not a smart move. Your strategy should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at an affordable rate while still protecting your assets.
