Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

Multi-policy Discount - When you have multiple policies with one company you could get a discount of at least 10% off all policies.
Resident Student - Youth drivers who live away from home and do not have a car can receive lower rates.

Accident Waiver - Certain companies will forgive one accident without raising rates if you are claim-free for a set time period.

It's important to note that some credits don't apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as comprehensive or collision. So despite the fact that it appears all the discounts add up to a free policy, you're out of luck.

Lower-priced car insurance can be found from both online companies and also from your neighborhood Womelsdorf agents, and you need to comparison shop both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some companies may not provide online quoting and many times these smaller companies only sell through independent insurance agents.

You just learned a lot of ways to lower your car insurance rates. The key thing to remember is the more quotes you get, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. You may be surprised to find that the lowest premiums are with a small local company.
