Buy Low-Cost Siren Auto Insurance

Overpriced auto insurance can overdraw your savings account and put a big crunch on your finances. Shopping your coverage around is a smart way to help make ends meet.

Having so many options when it comes to auto insurance, it is very difficult to locate the cheapest insurer.

Are you getting all your discounts?

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but you can get discounts that you may not know about. Some trigger automatically when you get a quote, but some may not be applied and must be specially asked for before you will receive the discount.

Multiple Vehicles - Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
Discount for Life Insurance - Some companies give a break if you buy a life insurance policy as well.
Accident Waiver - Some insurance companies will forgive one accident before your rates go up so long as you haven't had any claims prior to the accident.
Good Student Discount - Performing well in school can get you a discount of up to 25%. The good student discount can last well after school through age 25.
Paperless Signup - Certain companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks just for signing your application online.

Keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So when it seems like you can get free auto insurance, it just doesn't work that way. But any discount will help reduce the cost of coverage.

Good Decisions Result in Lower Rates

Smart consumers have a good feel for some of the elements that help determine the price you pay for auto insurance. When you know what positively or negatively influences your rates enables informed choices that could result in lower auto insurance prices.

The following are some of the items auto insurance companies consider when setting premiums.

Higher deductibles cost less - Your deductibles represent how much money you are required to spend in the event of a claim. Insurance for physical damage to your car, commonly called comprehensive (or other-than-collision) and collision coverage, protects your car from damage. Some instances where coverage would apply could be colliding with a building, damage caused by hail, and burglary. The more expense you are required to pay out-of-pocket, the bigger discount you will receive.
Pleasure use saves money - Driving more miles in a year's time the more you'll pay to insure your vehicle. Most insurance companies apply a rate based on their usage. Vehicles left parked in the garage get more affordable rates than vehicles that are driven to work every day. Make sure your auto insurance coverage properly reflects the proper vehicle usage.
Women pay lower rates - Statistics have proven women tend to be less risk to insure than men. However, this does not mean men are worse drivers. Women and men are in accidents at a similar rate, but the male of the species have costlier accidents. Men also tend to get cited for more serious violations such as DWI and reckless driving. Young males are most likely to cause an accident and therefore are the most expensive to insure.
Careful drivers pay lower rates - Only having one ticket can boost insurance rates by as much as thirty percent. Careful drivers have lower premiums compared to drivers with tickets. Drivers with flagrant tickets such as reckless driving, hit and run or driving under the influence are required to submit a SR-22 form with their state DMV in order to keep their license.
Do you have enough liability coverage? - Liability coverage is the protection if a court rules you are at fault for causing damage or personal injury in an accident. Liability provides you with a defense in court starting from day one. Carrying liability coverage is mandatory and cheap when compared with rates for comp and collision, so buy as much as you can afford.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to buying coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no cookie cutter policy. Everyone's needs are different so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions can help discover whether you would benefit from an agent's advice.

Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
What are the financial responsibility laws in Wisconsin?
Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?
Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?
Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
Do I qualify for additional discounts?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

How can Allstate, GEICO and Progressive save drivers who switch?

Allstate, GEICO and Progressive continually stream ads on television and other media. All the companies say the same thing that you can save after switching to their company. But how can every company make almost identical claims?

All companies have a preferred profile for the driver that earns them a profit. A good example of a profitable customer could possibly be between 25 and 40, has no prior claims, and chooses high deductibles. A customer getting a price quote who fits that profile will get the preferred rates and as a result will probably save a lot of money.

Drivers who are not a match for this ideal profile must pay higher premiums which usually ends up with the driver buying from a lower-cost company. The ads state "customers that switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much. This is how insurance companies can state the savings.

This illustrates why drivers should quote coverage with many companies. It's impossible to know which insurance companies will give you the biggest savings.
