How to Lower your Car Insurance Rates

Consumers need to have an understanding of the factors that go into determining the rates you pay for car insurance. Understanding what impacts premium levels empowers consumers to make smart changes that may reward you with lower car insurance prices.

Being married is a good thing - Having a wife or husband can actually save you money on car insurance. It translates into being more responsible and it's statistically proven that married drivers get in fewer accidents.
Teen drivers pay high rates - More mature drivers are viewed as being more responsible, tend to file fewer claims and receive fewer citations. Youthful drivers are statistically proven to be more careless when driving therefore car insurance rates are much higher.
Do you qualify for a multi-policy discount? - Most insurance companies will give a discount to insureds who carry more than one policy. It's known as a multi-policy discount. Discounts can amount to 10 percent or more. Even if you're getting this discount you may still want to comparison shop to verify if the discount is saving money.
Do you need the policy add-ons? - There are many add-on coverages that you can buy when buying car insurance. Coverages like roadside assistance, towing coverage and additional equipment coverage are some examples. These may sound like a good investment at first, but now you might not need them so get rid of them and save.
Liability coverage protects you - Liability insurance is the protection if ever you are found liable for personal injury or accident damage. It will provide legal defense starting from day one. This coverage is very inexpensive compared to physical damage coverage, so do not skimp.

How to Buy Abington Car Insurance Online

There are several ways of comparing rates from local Abington car insurance companies. One of the best ways to find competitive insurance rates consists of shopping online. This is very easy and can be done using a couple different methods.

The fastest way to compare a lot of rates at once is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This type of form prevents you from having to do boring form submissions for every car insurance company. One form compares rates from all major companies. It's the fastest way to compare.
A slightly less efficient method to get quotes online is going to each individual company website to request a price quote. For examples sake, let's assume you want comparison quotes from , and . To get rate quotes you would need to take the time to go to each site and enter your information, which is why most consumers use the first method.

However you get your quotes, make darn sure you compare the exact same coverage limits and deductibles for each price quote. If you use different liability limits it will be next to impossible to truly determine the lowest rate in Abington. Slightly different coverages can result in a big premium difference. And when comparison shopping, comparing a large number of companies will increase your chances of finding the best rates.

Save big with these discounts

Companies that sell car insurance do not list all their discounts in an easy-to-find place, so we researched both the well known and the more hidden discounts you could be receiving.

Sign Online - Certain companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy on their website.
College Student - Youth drivers who are attending college and do not have a car may qualify for this discount.
Anti-theft Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
Defensive Driver - Completing a defensive driving course could cut 5% off your bill if your company offers it.
Senior Citizens - If you're over the age of 55, you may qualify for a small decrease in premiums.
Multi-car Discount - Insuring more than one vehicle with the same company could earn a price break for each car.

As a disclaimer on discounts, some of the credits will not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears all the discounts add up to a free policy, car insurance companies aren't that generous.

Car insurance ads bend the truth

Car insurance companies such as State Farm, GEICO and Progressive constantly bombard you with ads on TV and radio. They all seem to have a common claim about savings if you switch your coverage to them. How do they all claim to save you money?

All companies have a preferred profile for the type of customer that makes them money. For instance, a desirable insured might be over the age of 50, insures multiple vehicles, and has a high credit rating. Any driver that hits that "sweet spot" is entitled to the best price and most likely will cut their rates substantially.

Drivers who fall outside the "perfect" profile will have to pay higher premiums and this can result in the customer not buying. The ads state "people who switch" not "people who quote" save that much money. This is how companies can truthfully state the savings. Because of the profiling, you need to get quotes from several different companies. You cannot predict which insurance companies will have the lowest rates.

But I don't know anything about car insurance

When buying the best car insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no perfect coverage plan. Each situation is unique.

These are some specific questions may help you determine if your situation may require specific advice.

Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
What are Massachusetts no-fault laws?
Does my personal auto insurance policy cover using my vehicle for business use?
Should I rate my vehicle as pleasure use or commute?
Am I covered by my employer's commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?
Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?
Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?

If you can't answer these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form.

Even more information is located at the Massachusetts Division of Insurance website. Visitors are able to get help finding coverage, read enforcement actions against agents and companies, and read consumer alerts.

Final considerations

Cheap car insurance can be found both online as well as from independent agents in Abington, and you should be comparing both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance companies don't offer online price quotes and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.

As you restructure your insurance plan, you should never reduce coverage to reduce premium. In many cases, drivers have reduced collision coverage and learned later that they should have had better coverage. Your aim should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at an affordable rate.

We just presented a lot of techniques to compare car insurance prices online. The key thing to remember is the more rate comparisons you have, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. You may be surprised to find that the biggest savings come from a company that doesn't do a lot of advertising.
