Demorest Rates are Influenced by These Factors

Consumers need to have an understanding of the factors that come into play when calculating the rates you pay for auto insurance. Having a good understanding of what influences your rates enables informed choices that will entitle you to lower auto insurance prices.

  • Optional equipment can affect rates - Owning a car with anti-theft technology or alarm system can help bring down rates. Anti-theft devices such as tamper alarm systems, vehicle immobilizer technology and General Motors OnStar can help prevent auto theft.
  • More than one policy can earn a discount - The majority of insurance companies provide better rates to insureds who buy several policies from them such as combining an auto and homeowners policy. Discounts can amount to 10 percent or more. Even with this discount, it's in your best interest to comparison shop to ensure the best deal.
  • Too many auto insurance claims drive up costs - If you are a frequent claim filer, you can look forward to either a policy non-renewal or much higher rates. Companies in Georgia generally give cheaper rates to drivers who are claim-free. Auto insurance is intended for larger claims.
  • Having a spouse can save you money - Having a wife or husband actually saves money on auto insurance. Having a significant other means you're more mature it has been statistically shown that married couples file fewer claims.

Finding Auto Insurance in Demorest, GA

All major auto insurance companies allow you to get coverage prices online. This process is pretty painless as you simply type in your coverage preferences into the quote form. After the form is submitted, the system will obtain your credit score and driving record and gives you a price quote determined by many factors.

Online quotes helps simplify price comparisons, but the process of having to visit several different sites and enter the same data into a form gets old quite quickly. Unfortunately, it is important to do this in order to find a lower rate.

There is a better way!

The preferred way to get multiple rate quotes uses one form that gets prices from more than one company. It's a real time-saver, reduces the work, and makes online price comparison much easier to do. After sending your information, it is rated and you are able to buy your choice of the resulting price quotes. If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you can click and sign and purchase coverage. The entire process can be completed in a matter of minutes and may save quite a bit of money.

To find out how much you're overpaying now, click here and submit your coverage information. If you have coverage now, it's recommended you replicate the coverages as shown on your current policy. This makes sure you're receiving rate comparison quotes for the exact same coverage.

More discounts equal less premium

Companies that sell car insurance don't list every discount in a way that's easy to find, so we researched both the well known and the harder-to-find discounts you could be receiving. If you aren't receiving every discount you qualify for, you are paying more than you should be.

  • Service Members Pay Less - Being deployed with a military unit can result in better rates.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems help deter theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Drivers Ed for Students - Cut your cost by having your teen driver successfully complete driver's ed class in high school.
  • Pay Upfront and Save - By paying your policy upfront instead of making monthly payments you may reduce your total bill.
  • Paperwork-free - Certain companies may give you up to $50 just for signing your application digitally online.

Keep in mind that some credits don't apply to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. So when the math indicates you can get free auto insurance, it just doesn't work that way.

Switch companies and save? Really?

Consumers in Georgia can't ignore all the ads for cheaper car insurance by State Farm, Allstate and GEICO. They all have a common claim that you can save if you move to their company.

How can each company claim to save you money? This is how they do it.

All companies have a certain "appetite" for the driver that makes them money. For instance, a driver they prefer might be between 30 and 50, owns a home, and has great credit. A customer getting a price quote that hits that "sweet spot" will get the preferred rates and therefore will save when they switch companies.

Consumers who do not match the requirements will be quoted higher prices and this can result in the customer not buying. The ads state "drivers who switch" not "everyone that quotes" save that much. That is how insurance companies can advertise the savings. This emphasizes why you need to get quotes from several different companies. It's impossible to know which company will fit your personal profile best.

It's not one size fits all

When buying the best auto insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Every insured's situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that might point out if you might need professional guidance.

  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
  • Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • What can I do if my company won't pay a claim?
  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • What are Georgia no-fault laws?
  • Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in Georgia?

If you can't answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form. It is quick, free and may give you better protection.

Additional detailed information is located at the Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner website. Visitors are able to view a list of available companies, read consumer alerts, and download brochures.

Best coverage at the best price

Drivers who switch companies do it for any number of reasons including unfair underwriting practices, policy non-renewal, extreme rates for teen drivers or even an unsatisfactory settlement offer. It doesn't matter why you want to switch switching auto insurance companies is easier than you think.

When you buy insurance online, it's not a good idea to reduce coverage to reduce premium. There have been many situations where an insured cut collision coverage and learned later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. The proper strategy is to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price while still protecting your assets.

Affordable auto insurance is possible both online and also from your neighborhood Demorest agents, so compare prices from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who may not provide online price quotes and these small, regional companies work with independent agents.
