Save big with these discounts

Companies that sell car insurance do not advertise every available discount in an easy-to-find place, so here is a list both the well known as well as the least known savings tricks you should be using. If they aren't giving you every credit you qualify for, you're just leaving money on the table.

  • Anti-lock Brake System - Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems are safer to drive and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Early Signing - Some insurance companies reward drivers for buying a policy before your current policy expires. This can save 10% or more.
  • Good Student - Getting good grades can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. The discount lasts until age 25.
  • Multi-car Discount - Insuring more than one vehicle on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Resident Student - Kids in college who live away from home and do not have a car may qualify for this discount.
  • Theft Prevention System - Cars that have factory anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • Homeowners Savings - Being a homeowner can help you save on car insurance because owning a home requires personal responsibility.

A little note about advertised discounts, most discounts do not apply to the entire policy premium. Most cut individual premiums such as comprehensive or collision. So despite the fact that it appears all those discounts means the company will pay you, you won't be that lucky.

How to Get North Bend Car Insurance Comparison Quotes

Finding a better price on car insurance is a fairly straight forward process. You just have to take a couple of minutes getting comparison quotes from different insurance companies. This is very easy and can be done in several different ways.

One of the best ways to get the best comparison quotes is to use a rate comparison form like this one (opens in new window). This easy form eliminates the need for separate forms to each individual car insurance company. Just one form will return quotes from several companies. This is perfect if you don't have a lot of time.

A slightly less efficient method to get quotes online is to take the time to go to the website for each individual company and request a quote. For example, let's assume you want to compare , and . To find out each rate you need to visit each site and enter your information, which is why the first method is more popular.

The least recommended method to compare rates is to waste gas driving to insurance agents' offices. The internet makes this process obsolete unless you require the trained guidance only provided by licensed agents. However, consumers can compare online quotes and still use a local agent and you'll learn how to do that later.

It's your choice how you get your quotes, but be sure to compare the exact same coverages and limits with every price quote. If you compare different deductibles it will be impossible to find the best deal in North Bend.

But I don't know anything about car insurance

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there is no perfect coverage plan. Everyone's needs are different.

These are some specific questions may help highlight if your situation might need an agent's assistance.

  • Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?
  • Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
  • Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?
  • Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my vehicle is totaled?
  • What are Washington no-fault laws?
  • Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?

If you're not sure about those questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to an agent. If you don't have a local agent, fill out this quick form. It's fast, free and can help protect your family.

Best coverage at the best price

As you prepare to switch companies, never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. Too many times, someone dropped liability limits or collision coverage only to find out that the small savings ended up costing them much more. The aim is to purchase plenty of coverage at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.

We just presented many tips how you can get a better price on car insurance. The key thing to remember is the more quotes you get, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. Consumers could even find that the lowest rates come from a small local company.

The cheapest car insurance is available both online and with local North Bend insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best rate selection. There are still a few companies who do not offer online quoting and many times these smaller companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
