Buy the Cheapest Farmer City Car Insurance

Expensive car insurance can drain your bank account and put the squeeze on your family's finances. Comparison shopping is a smart way to make sure you're not throwing money away.

Online insurance companies like GEICO and Progressive continually bombard you with TV and radio ads and it can be hard to sift through the bull and find the best price available.

It's important to compare prices yearly due to the fact that insurance rates are constantly changing. Just because you found the best rates last year there may be better deals available now. You'll find quite a bit of inaccurate information about car insurance online but I'm going to show you some great ways to stop overpaying for insurance.

Save big with these discounts

Car insurance companies don't list all their discounts in a way that's easy to find, so the following is a list of both the well known and the more hidden car insurance savings.

Accident Waiver - A handful of insurance companies permit an accident without raising rates as long as you don't have any claims for a certain period of time.
Discount for Life Insurance - Companies who offer life insurance give better rates if you take out life insurance from them.
Club Memberships - Being a member of a civic or occupational organization could qualify you for a break on car insurance.
Government Employees - Simply working for the federal government can earn a discount up to 10% with select insurance companies.
College Student - Children living away from home attending college and don't have a car may qualify for this discount.
Sign Online - Some insurance companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy digitally online.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. Some only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. Just because you may think you could get a free car insurance policy, car insurance companies aren't that generous.

The best insurance company isn't always the cheapest
