Free Guide to Saving Money on Englewood Car Insurance Online

Did you fall for a flashy sales pitch and buy an overpriced car insurance policy? Trust us when we tell you you're not alone. You have so many to pick from, and although it's nice to have multiple companies, lots of choices makes it harder to compare rates.

Take advantage of discounts

Car insurance companies don't always advertise all available discounts very clearly, so we researched some of the more common and also the lesser-known ways to save on car insurance. If you're not getting every credit possible, you are throwing money away.

  • Clubs and Organizations - Belonging to a qualifying organization could trigger savings when buying car insurance.
  • Pay Upfront and Save - If paying your policy premium upfront instead of monthly or quarterly installments you could save up to 5%.
  • Passive Restraints - Vehicles equipped with air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems may earn rate discounts of 20% or more.
  • Defensive Driving Course - Successfully completing a driver safety course could possibly earn you a 5% discount if you qualify.
  • New Car Discount - Buying coverage on a new vehicle is cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Claim Free - Drivers with accident-free driving histories pay much less when compared with drivers who are more careless.

As a disclaimer on discounts, many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though it sounds like adding up those discounts means a free policy, car insurance companies aren't that generous.

Are car insurance companies telling the truth?

Consumers get pounded daily by advertisements that promise big savings from the likes of Allstate, GEICO and Progressive. All the companies make the same claim about savings if you move your coverage to them.

How does each company make the same claim? It's all in the numbers.

Insurance companies are able to cherry pick for the type of customer that earns them a profit. For instance, a profitable customer could be over the age of 50, has no driving citations, and drives newer vehicles. A customer who matches those parameters will qualify for the lowest rates and most likely will save when switching.

Consumers who don't qualify for these standards must pay higher prices which leads to business going elsewhere. The ad wording is "customers who switch" not "people who quote" save that much money. That's the way companies can truthfully claim big savings. This illustrates why you should compare as many rates as you can. Because you never know which car insurance company will give you the biggest savings.
