Getting the Cheapest Edgewater Auto Insurance

Did you fall for a flashy sales pitch and buy overpriced auto insurance? Believe me, many Edgewater consumers feel financially strained by their auto insurance policy.

Companies like GEICO and Progressive all promote huge savings with TV and radio ads and it can be hard to sift through the bull and do the work needed to find the best deal.

It's important to check auto insurance prices at least once a year since insurance rates are constantly changing. Despite the fact that you may have had the best rates a couple years back there may be better deals available now. You'll find quite a bit of inaccurate information about auto insurance online but I'm going to show you some great ways to stop overpaying for insurance.

Don't pay full price with these discounts

Car insurance companies don't always list all their discounts in a way that's easy to find, so the following is a list of some of the best known and the harder-to-find discounts you could be receiving.

  • Sign Online - A few companies give back up to $50 just for signing your application digitally online.
  • Driver Safety - Successfully completing a course teaching defensive driving skills could possibly earn you a 5% discount depending on where you live.
  • Senior Discount - Older drivers may be able to get reduced rates.
  • Seat Belt Usage - Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could save 15% off your medical payments premium.
  • Federal Government Employee - Simply working for the federal government could cut as much as 10% off with select insurance companies.

Keep in mind that some credits don't apply the the whole policy. Some only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. Just because it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, it just doesn't work that way.

Comprehensive Edgewater Auto Insurance Comparison Quotes

There are multiple methods to compare auto insurance prices but some are more efficient than others. You can waste hours talking about coverages with agents in Edgewater, or you can stay home and use online quotes to get rate comparisons in just a few minutes.

Most car insurance companies participate in an industry program that enables customers to submit one quote, and at least one company then gives them pricing based on that data. This prevents consumers from doing quote requests to each individual auto insurance company.

The one disadvantage to using this type of system is you can't choose the companies you want pricing from. So if you want to select from a list of companies for rate comparison, we have assembled a list of the cheapest auto insurance companies in Maryland. Click to view list.

Whichever method you choose, compare exactly the same coverage information on every quote. If you have unequal deductibles or liability limits it will be very difficult to make a fair comparison in Edgewater. Slightly different limits can make a big difference in price. Just keep in mind that quoting more will improve the odds of getting the best offered rates.

Final considerations

Affordable auto insurance can be bought on the web and with local Edgewater insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to get a complete price analysis. Some auto insurance companies do not offer online quoting and most of the time these small insurance companies sell through independent agents.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it's a bad idea to sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In many cases, an insured dropped full coverage and found out when filing a claim that the savings was not a smart move. Your aim should be to find the BEST coverage for the lowest price.
