Proven Ways to Save on Headland Auto Insurance

Have you had enough of robbing Peter to pay Paul each month for car insurance? Your situation is no different than most other car owners in Alabama.

Drivers have multiple to buy insurance from, and although it's a good thing to have multiple companies, it can be more challenging to compare rates.

It's important to take a look at other company's rates once or twice a year since insurance rates are constantly changing. Just because you found the lowest price last year you will most likely find a better rate today. Block out anything you think you know about auto insurance because we're going to demonstrate how to use online quotes to eliminate unnecessary coverages and save money.

Take advantage of discounts

Car insurance is not cheap, but you can get discounts that you may not know about. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied when you quote, but less common discounts must be asked for prior to getting the savings.

  • Anti-theft System - Anti-theft and alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Payment Method - If you pay your bill all at once instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.
  • E-sign - Some insurance companies give back up to $50 for buying your policy over the internet.
  • Homeowners Pay Less - Being a homeowner may trigger a auto insurance policy discount due to the fact that maintaining a home shows financial diligence.
  • Senior Discount - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may be able to get better auto insurance rates.
  • Service Members Pay Less - Having a deployed family member may qualify for rate reductions.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire cost. Most cut specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. So even though they make it sound like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will bring down your overall premium however.

Are auto insurance companies telling the truth?

Companies like Allstate and Progressive continually stream ads on TV and radio. All the ads say the same thing about savings after switching to their company. How does each company say the same thing? It's all in the numbers.

Different companies can use profiling for the driver that earns them a profit. For instance, a preferred risk might be profiled as a mature driver, has no tickets, and drives newer vehicles. A propective insured who fits that profile gets the lowest rates and most likely will save when switching.

Potential customers who don't qualify for these standards will be charged a higher premium which usually ends up with business not being written. The ads say "customers who switch" not "people who quote" save that much. That's why companies can truthfully claim big savings.

That is why you should compare as many rates as you can. It's not possible to predict the company that will give you the biggest savings.

Affordable insurance is out there

When trying to cut insurance costs, never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. Too many times, an insured dropped liability coverage limits only to discover later that it was a big mistake. The aim is to purchase plenty of coverage at the best price, not the least amount of coverage.

Cheaper auto insurance can be sourced on the web and also from your neighborhood Headland agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best rate selection. A few companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and many times these small, regional companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
