Good Decisions Result in Lower Rates

Consumers need to have an understanding of some of the elements that play a part in calculating the rates you pay for auto insurance. Understanding what influences your rates enables informed choices that will entitle you to lower auto insurance prices.

Shown below are a partial list of the pieces auto insurance companies consider when setting prices.

  • Frequent auto insurance claims increase rates - If you frequently file small claims, you can expect either a policy non-renewal or much higher rates. Companies in Nevada provide better rates to drivers who are claim-free. Auto insurance is intended for the bigger claims that can't be paid out-of-pocket.
  • Please use or commuting - The higher the mileage driven in a year's time the higher your rate. Most insurance companies charge to insure your cars based on their usage. Vehicles left parked in the garage receive lower rates as compared to vehicles used primarily for driving to work. Make sure your auto insurance declarations sheet is showing the correct usage for each vehicle, because improper ratings can cost you money.
  • Better crash test results mean better rates - Cars with high safety ratings are cheaper to insure. The safest vehicles reduce injuries and any reduction in injury severity translates into savings for insurance companies and lower rates for you.
  • Do you have enough liability coverage? - Your policy's liability coverage is the protection when you are found liable for causing damage or personal injury in an accident. Liability insurance provides legal defense starting from day one. Liability insurance is quite affordable as compared to coverage for physical damage, so buy as much as you can afford.
  • Your spouse saves you money - Having a wife or husband helps lower the price when buying auto insurance. Having a significant other means you're more mature and statistics show married drivers get in fewer accidents.

More discounts equal less premium

Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but you can get discounts to help bring down the price. Certain discounts will be applied when you quote, but a few must be specially asked for prior to getting the savings.

  • Government Employees - Employees or retirees of the government can save as much as 8% with a few auto insurance companies.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Some companies give lower rates if you buy a life insurance policy as well.
  • Low Mileage Discounts - Low mileage vehicles could be rewarded with lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • Multiple Cars - Having all your vehicles with the same company can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • Paperwork-free - Certain companies may give you up to $50 just for signing your application on their website.

Keep in mind that most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. Even though it may seem like all the discounts add up to a free policy, it just doesn't work that way. But any discount will cut your premiums.

Switch companies and save? Really?

Auto insurance providers like Progressive, Allstate and GEICO consistently run ads in print and on television. They all say the same thing that you can save if you change to their company. How do they all claim to save you money? It's all in the numbers.

All companies have a preferred profile for the driver that makes them money. For instance, a driver they prefer might be between the ages of 30 and 50, has no prior claims, and chooses high deductibles. A customer getting a price quote who fits that profile gets the lowest rates and therefore will cut their rates substantially.

Potential customers who do not match the "perfect" profile will be quoted a higher premium which usually ends up with the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "customers who switch" not "everyone that quotes" save that much. This is how insurance companies can state the savings.

This emphasizes why you should compare as many rates as you can. It's impossible to know which insurance companies will give you the biggest savings.

It's not one size fits all

When buying the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no perfect coverage plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else's and a cookie cutter policy won't apply. Here are some questions about coverages that can help discover if you might need an agent's assistance.

  • Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?
  • What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
  • Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
  • Are rental cars covered under my policy?
  • Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
