Learn How to Buy Car Insurance Cheaper

It's important that you understand some of the elements that go into determining the rates you pay for car insurance. Knowing what influences your rates helps enable you to make changes that can help you get big savings.

Listed below are some of the factors that factor into your rates.

  • Discounts for multiple policies - Most companies give discounts to insureds who buy several policies from them in the form of a multi-policy discount. Even with this discount, it's in your best interest to shop around to confirm you are receiving the best rates possible.
  • Are you male or female? - Statistics have proven that women are safer drivers than men. That doesn't necessarily mean that men are WORSE drivers than women. They both cause accidents at about the same rate, but men cause more damage. Men also get cited for more serious violations like DUI and reckless driving. Young males tend to get in the most accidents and thus pay the highest rates.
  • Poor driving leads to higher costs - Drivers with clean records tend to pay less for car insurance than bad drivers. Just one speeding ticket may increase your cost by as much as thirty percent. Drivers who get serious violations such as hit and run, DWI or reckless driving convictions may be required to file a proof of financial responsibility form (SR-22) to the state department of motor vehicles in order to continue driving.
  • Rural vs Urban Areas - Residing in less populated areas has it's advantages when talking about car insurance. City drivers have to deal with congested traffic and longer commutes to work. Lower population means reduced accidents and also fewer theft and vandalism claims.
  • Lower miles equals lower premium - The more miles you rack up on your car in a year's time the higher your rates will be. The majority of insurers charge to insure your cars based on their usage. Vehicles not used for work or commuting can get a lower rate as compared to vehicles used primarily for driving to work. Ask your agent if your car insurance policy shows how each vehicle is driven, because it can save money.
  • More claims means more premium - If you tend to file frequent claims, you can expect higher rates. Insurance companies in Texas provide lower rates to drivers who do not rely on their insurance for small claims. Insurance coverage is intended for the bigger claims that can't be paid out-of-pocket.

More discounts equal less premium

Companies don't always advertise every available discount very clearly, so here is a list both the well known and the harder-to-find car insurance savings.

  • Theft Prevention System - Anti-theft and alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Accident Waiver - Certain companies will allow you to have one accident without raising rates if you are claim-free for a particular time prior to the accident.
  • Good Student Discount - Getting good grades can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. The discount lasts until age 25.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Some companies give a discount if you purchase auto and life insurance together.
  • Save with a New Car - Insuring a new car can save up to 30% due to better safety requirements for new cars.

It's important to note that most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. Most only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. So despite the fact that it appears having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you're out of luck.
