You have some control over your rates

It's important that you understand the factors that play a part in calculating auto insurance rates. When you know what positively or negatively impacts premium levels enables informed choices that will entitle you to much lower annual insurance costs.

Your car's features help determine rates - Purchasing a vehicle with an alarm system can help lower your rates. Theft prevention devices like tamper alarm systems, vehicle immobilizer technology and General Motors OnStar all aid in stopping auto theft.
Men are more aggressive - Statistics have proven women tend to be less risk to insure than men. Now that doesn't mean men are worse drivers. Both sexes tend to get into accidents in similar numbers, but the men tend to have more serious accidents. Men also statistically get more serious tickets like reckless driving and DUI.
Do you need the policy add-ons? - There are quite a few add-on coverages that can waste your money if you aren't careful. Things like roadside assistance, accident forgiveness and term life insurance are some examples. These may sound like a good investment when you first buy your policy, but if they're wasting money remove them from your policy.
One company can mean more discounts - Some insurance companies provide better rates to people who carry more than one policy, otherwise known as a multi-policy discount. Even if you're getting this discount you still need to shop around to ensure the best deal.
Claim-free discounts can add up - Companies in Texas generally give discounts to insureds who are claim-free. If you tend to file frequent claims, you can pretty much guarantee either policy cancellation or increased premiums. Your insurance policy is intended to be relied upon for the bigger claims that can't be paid out-of-pocket.

Take advantage of discounts

Insuring your fleet can be pricey, but there could be available discounts to help bring down the price. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time of purchase, but a few must be asked about prior to receiving the credit.

Pay Now and Pay Less - By paying your policy upfront rather than paying monthly you may reduce your total bill.
Senior Discount - Older drivers may receive better auto insurance rates.
Safety Course Discount - Successfully completing a course teaching defensive driving skills could cut 5% off your bill depending on where you live.
Multiple Policy Discount - When you have multiple policies with the same company you could get a discount of at least 10% off all policies.
Government Employees - Simply working for the federal government could cut as much as 10% off with a few auto insurance companies.
Life Insurance Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give a break if you buy life insurance.

As a disclaimer on discounts, some of the credits will not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So despite the fact that it appears adding up those discounts means a free policy, auto insurance companies aren't that generous. Any amount of discount will help reduce your overall premium however.
