Find the Cheapest Higley Auto Insurance

Searching for affordable Higley auto insurance on the internet can be intimidating for beginners to online price comaprisons. Since there are so many choices, how can consumers even start to compare every one to find the best available rates?

How much can you save with discounts?

Car insurance companies don't always advertise every discount in a way that's easy to find, so we researched both the well known and the more hidden auto insurance savings.

  • Government Employees - Active or retired federal employment can save as much as 8% with a few auto insurance companies.
  • Save with a New Car - Insuring a new car is cheaper since new cars are generally safer.
  • Drivers Ed for Students - Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to successfully complete driver's ed class in high school.
  • No Claims - Drivers who don't have accidents pay much less when compared to drivers who are more careless.
  • Own a Home - Simply owning a home may trigger a auto insurance policy discount because of the fact that having a home shows financial diligence.

It's important to note that most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. Even though it may seem like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you're out of luck.

Learn How to Buy Auto Insurance Cheaper

Smart consumers have a good feel for some of the elements that come into play when calculating the rates you pay for auto insurance. Having a good understanding of what influences your rates helps enable you to make changes that will entitle you to lower auto insurance prices.

The list below includes a partial list of the pieces that factor into prices.

  • Frequent auto insurance claims increase rates - If you are a frequent claim filer, you can expect either a policy non-renewal or much higher rates. Companies in Arizona provide cheaper rates to drivers who do not rely on their insurance for small claims. Auto insurance is intended for the bigger claims that can't be paid out-of-pocket.
  • More miles equals more premium - The more you drive in a year's time the higher your rate. The majority of insurers charge to insure your cars based on their usage. Vehicles left parked in the garage receive lower rates compared to those used for work or business. Make sure your auto insurance policy is rated on the correct driver usage, because improper ratings can cost you money.
  • Rates may be lower depending on your job - Careers like judges, architects and dentists are shown to have the highest average rates attributed to high stress and lengthy work days. Other occupations like pilots, historians and the unemployed pay the least.
  • Theft deterrents lower rates - Purchasing a vehicle that has an advanced theft prevention system can help bring down rates. Anti-theft devices such as vehicle immobilizer systems, General Motors OnStar and LoJack tracking systems all aid in stopping your car from being stolen.
  • Sex matters - Statistics have proven women are more cautious behind the wheel. However, don't assume that men are WORSE drivers than women. Women and men have accidents in similar numbers, but the men cause more damage and cost insurance companies more money. Men also statistically get cited for more serious violations like DUI and reckless driving.

How much car insurance do I need?

When it comes to buying the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Each situation is unique.

For example, these questions can help discover if your insurance needs could use an agent's help.

  • Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?
  • Who is covered when they drive my vehicle?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
  • What can I do if my company won't pay a claim?
  • Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form.

Save 15 percent in 15 minutes? Is it for real?

Auto insurance providers like Progressive, Allstate and GEICO regularly use television and radio advertisements. They all say the same thing that you can save if you move your policy. How can each company claim to save you money?

All companies have a preferred profile for the right customer that earns them a profit. For instance, a driver they prefer might be over the age of 40, has no prior claims, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. A customer getting a price quote who fits that profile is entitled to the best price and is almost guaranteed to save when they switch companies.

Drivers who don't meet the requirements will be quoted higher premiums which usually ends up with the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "people who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that kind of money. This is how insurance companies can advertise the way they do. This emphasizes why drivers should compare as many rates as you can. It's impossible to know which insurance companies will provide you with the cheapest rates.

Final considerations

Consumers who switch companies do it for many reasons like high rates after DUI convictions, delays in paying claims, extreme rates for teen drivers and even an unsatisfactory settlement offer. It doesn't matter what your reason, finding the right auto insurance provider is less work than it seems.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it's a bad idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are too many instances where consumers will sacrifice collision coverage and learned later that the savings was not a smart move. Your strategy should be to buy enough coverage at an affordable rate while still protecting your assets.

Lower-priced auto insurance is possible both online in addition to many Higley insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some auto insurance companies do not provide you the ability to get quotes online and these small, regional companies work with independent agents.
