Finding Cheap Shickshinny Car Insurance

Nobody cherishes buying car insurance, particularly when their premiums are too high. You have so many to buy insurance from, and although it's a good thing to have multiple companies, lots of choices makes it harder to compare rates.

Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

Companies offering auto insurance don't list every discount very clearly, so we researched both the well known and also the lesser-known savings tricks you should be using. If you're not getting every credit you qualify for, you are throwing money away.

  • Federal Employees - Active or retired federal employment could cut as much as 10% off with a few car insurance companies.
  • Good Student - Performing well in school can earn a discount of 20% or more. Earning this discount can benefit you up until you turn 25.
  • Multiple Cars - Buying insurance for all your vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • Paperwork-free - A few companies may give you up to $50 just for signing your application over the internet.
  • Senior Citizens - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may receive a discount up to 10%.

It's important to note that most discounts do not apply to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like adding up those discounts means a free policy, you're out of luck.

Save $429 a year? Really?

Consumers in Pennsylvania get pounded daily by advertisements for cheaper car insurance from companies such as Progressive, Allstate and GEICO. They all make an identical promise that you can save if you change your policy.

How does each company claim to save you money? It's all in the numbers.

Insurance companies have a certain "appetite" for the right customer that earns them a profit. For instance, a driver they prefer might be between the ages of 40 and 55, a clean driving record, and has a short commute. Any driver who meets those qualifications gets the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to save when switching.

Potential customers who don't qualify for these standards will be quoted higher prices and ends up with the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "customers who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that kind of money. That is how insurance companies can make the claims of big savings. This emphasizes why you should get a wide range of price quotes. You cannot predict which company will fit your personal profile best.
