Newton Falls Car Insurance For Less Than You're Paying Now

Are you intimidated by the wide range of car insurance company choices in Newton Falls? You have a lot of company. You have so many companies to choose from that it can turn into more work than you anticipated to find the best price.

These discounts can lower your rates

Companies that sell car insurance do not list every discount in an easy-to-find place, so the following is a list of both the well known and also the lesser-known ways to save on car insurance. If they aren't giving you every credit possible, you are throwing money away.

  • Payment Method - If paying your policy premium upfront instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.
  • Multiple Vehicles - Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • Auto/Life Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give lower rates if you buy a life insurance policy as well.
  • Distant Student - Any of your kids living away from home attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle can be insured at a reduced rate.
  • Save with a New Car - Buying coverage on a new vehicle is cheaper since new cars are generally safer.
  • Braking Control Discount - Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes can reduce accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.

As a disclaimer on discounts, many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like liability and collision coverage. So when it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, car insurance companies aren't that generous.

Are you falling for claims of savings?

Consumers in Ohio get pounded daily by advertisements that promise big savings by State Farm, Allstate and GEICO. They all make the same claim about savings after switching to their company.

How do they all claim to save you money? It's all in the numbers.

All companies are able to cherry pick for the driver that earns them a profit. A good example of a driver they prefer might be between the ages of 30 and 50, has no driving citations, and has great credit. Any driver who matches those parameters will qualify for the lowest rates and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.

Consumers who are not a match for the "perfect" profile will be quoted higher prices which leads to the customer not buying. The ad wording is "customers who switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much. That's the way companies can truthfully advertise the savings. This emphasizes why you should get quotes from several different companies. You cannot predict which car insurance company will fit your personal profile best.

A tidy conclusion

Insureds change insurance companies for a variety of reasons including extreme rates for teen drivers, lack of trust in their agent, delays in paying claims and even not issuing a premium refund. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new car insurance company is less work than it seems.

Cheap car insurance can be purchased both online and also from your neighborhood Newton Falls agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and these small insurance companies work with independent agents.

When you buy insurance online, never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There have been many situations where someone sacrificed collision coverage and discovered at claim time that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. The proper strategy is to get the best coverage possible at the best price while still protecting your assets.
