  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Driving fewer miles could qualify for a substantially lower rate.
  • Multi-car Discount - Having more than one vehicle on the same auto insurance policy can get a discount on all vehicles.

Dighton Rates are Influenced by These Factors

An important part of buying insurance is that you know the factors that go into determining the price you pay for auto insurance. Knowing what influences your rates enables informed choices that could result in lower auto insurance prices.

Listed below are some of the items auto insurance companies consider when setting premiums.

  • Safer cars are cheaper to insure - Cars with high safety ratings get lower rates. Safe vehicles reduce injuries and lower injury rates means lower claim amounts and thus lower rates.
  • Do you know your deductibles? - The deductibles represent how much money you are willing to pay if you file a covered claim. Insurance for physical damage to your car, otherwise known as comp (or other than collision) and collision, protects your car from damage. Some instances where coverage would apply could be colliding with a building, collision with an animal, and burglary. The more expense you are required to pay out-of-pocket, the less your auto insurance will be.
  • Bundling policies can get discounts - Most insurance companies will award you with lower prices to customers who buy several policies from them in the form of a multi-policy discount. Even with this discount, it's still a good idea to compare rates to ensure the best deal. You may still be able to find a better deal by splitting coverages up.
  • Mature drivers pay less - Teen drivers in Kansas are statistically proven to get distracted easily when behind the wheel so they pay higher auto insurance rates. Older insureds are more responsible, tend to file fewer claims and tend to be better behind the wheel.
  • Battle of the sexes - Statistics demonstrate that women are safer drivers than men. That doesn't necessarily mean that men are worse drivers. Women and men cause accidents at a similar rate, but the male of the species cause more damage. Men also tend to get more serious tickets such as DWI and reckless driving. Young males are the most expensive to insure and therefore have the most expensive auto insurance rates.
  • High performance equals high price - The performance level of the car you are insuring makes a substantial difference in your rates. The lowest base rates are usually for low performance passenger cars, but there are many factors that impact the final cost.

The auto insurance bait and switch

21st Century, Allstate and State Farm constantly bombard you with ads in print and on television. All the companies have a common claim that you can save if you switch to their company. How does each company make almost identical claims? It's all in the numbers.

All companies are able to cherry pick for the driver that is profitable for them. A good example of a profitable customer could possibly be over the age of 40, has no driving citations, and has great credit. A customer getting a price quote that hits that "sweet spot" will get very good rates and therefore will save when switching.

Consumers who don't measure up to these standards must pay higher rates and this can result in the driver buying from a lower-cost company. The ads say "customers who switch" not "everyone that quotes" save that much. That's the way insurance companies can advertise the savings.

This illustrates why drivers must get quotes from several different companies. It's impossible to know which auto insurance company will give you the biggest savings.

The best insurance company isn't always the cheapest

Affordable auto insurance can be found online and also from your neighborhood Dighton agents, and you need to comparison shop both to get a complete price analysis. There are still a few companies who may not provide the ability to get a quote online and usually these small insurance companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you prepare to switch companies, it's very important that you do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are a lot of situations where someone sacrificed full coverage and found out when filing a claim that the small savings ended up costing them much more. The proper strategy is to find the BEST coverage at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.

You just read a lot of ways to compare auto insurance prices online. The key thing to remember is the more companies you get rates for, the higher your chance of finding lower rates. You may be surprised to find that the lowest premiums are with some of the smallest insurance companies.
