More discounts equal less premium
Car insurance is not cheap, but discounts can save money and there are some available to cut the cost considerably. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied when you complete an application, but some must be specifically requested before they will apply.
- Theft Prevention Discount - Anti-theft and alarm systems can help prevent theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
- E-sign - A few companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy on their website.
- Senior Citizens - If you're over the age of 55, you may be able to get a small decrease in premiums.
- Multiple Vehicles - Having multiple vehicles with the same company qualifies for this discount.
- Discount for Life Insurance - Companies who offer life insurance give lower rates if you buy life insurance.
- Organization Discounts - Being a member of certain professional organizations could qualify you for a break on your policy.
- Claim Free - Drivers who don't have accidents can earn big discounts compared to accident-prone drivers.
A little note about advertised discounts, most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. So even though they make it sound like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will cut your premiums.

Switch companies and save? Really?
Companies like Allstate and Progressive continually stream ads in print and on television. All the ads say the same thing about savings after switching your coverage to them. How do they all claim to save you money? This is how they do it.
Insurance companies have a preferred profile for the type of customer that makes them money. An example of a preferred risk might be a mature driver, insures multiple vehicles, and has excellent credit. Any new insured who fits that profile will get very good rates and therefore will cut their rates substantially.
Consumers who do not match the "perfect" profile will be charged higher rates which usually ends up with the customer not buying. The ads say "drivers who switch" not "everyone that quotes" save that much money. This is how companies can truthfully make those claims.
That is why you should get as many comparisons as possible. It's just too difficult to predict which insurance companies will have the lowest rates.

Shop smart and save
While you're price shopping online, never buy poor coverage just to save money. Too many times, drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage only to find out they didn't purchase enough coverage. The aim is to find the BEST coverage for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.
Cheaper car insurance can be bought both online as well as from independent agents in Dallas City, and you need to price shop both to get a complete price analysis. Some companies don't offer online price quotes and many times these smaller companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
