How to Lower your Auto Insurance Rates

It's important that you understand the factors that play a part in calculating the rates you pay for auto insurance. Having a good understanding of what influences your rates empowers consumers to make smart changes that can help you get big savings.

Shown below are a few of the "ingredients" used by your company to calculate your rates.

  • Cautious drivers pay less - Your driving record has a huge affect on how much you pay. Drivers who don't get tickets have lower premiums than their less careful counterparts. Even a single speeding ticket can bump up the cost forty percent or more. Drivers who get dangerous violations like DUI or reckless driving may be required to file a SR-22 to the state department of motor vehicles in order to prevent a license revocation.
  • Do you have enough liability coverage? - Your policy's liability coverage provides coverage in the event that you are found liable for personal injury or accident damage. It will provide for a legal defense which can cost thousands of dollars. Liability is cheap as compared to coverage for physical damage, so do not skimp.
  • Safer cars are cheaper to insure - Vehicles with good safety scores get lower rates. Safer cars protect occupants better and any reduction in injury severity means lower claim amounts and more competitive rates for policyholders.
  • Car features impact rates - Choosing a vehicle with an alarm system can help bring down rates. Theft prevention devices such as LoJack tracking devices, vehicle tamper alarm systems or GM's OnStar system can thwart auto theft.
  • Having a spouse can save you money - Having a spouse helps lower the price on auto insurance. Marriage translates into being more mature and it's proven that being married results in fewer claims.
  • Do you know your deductibles? - Insurance for physical damage to your car, otherwise known as comp (or other than collision) and collision, protects your car from damage. A few examples of covered claims would be a windshield shattered by a rock, vandalism, and windstorm damage. The deductibles are the amount of money you are willing to pay out-of-pocket before your auto insurance pays a claim. The higher the amount you have to pay, the less your auto insurance will be.

Take advantage of discounts

Car insurance companies don't necessarily list every available discount in a way that's easy to find, so we took the time to find both the well known as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving. If you aren't receiving every discount possible, you're just leaving money on the table.

  • Discount for Good Grades - Getting good grades can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. This discount can apply up until you turn 25.
  • Club Memberships - Being a member of a civic or occupational organization may earn a discount on your policy.
  • Low Mileage - Low mileage vehicles can earn a substantially lower rate.
  • Pay Now and Pay Less - By paying your policy upfront rather than paying monthly you could save up to 5%.
  • E-sign - A handful of insurance companies may give you up to $50 just for signing your application digitally online.

Keep in mind that some credits don't apply to all coverage premiums. Some only reduce individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. So even though they make it sound like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it just doesn't work that way.
