If you are insured now or need a new policy, you can learn to find better prices while maximizing coverage. This article will let you in on the best way to quote coverages and some money-saving tips. Oklahoma vehicle owners just need to know the most effective way to compare company rates online.

Be sure to get all your discounts

Companies don't always advertise all available discounts in a way that's easy to find, so we researched some of the best known as well as the least known savings tricks you should be using. If you aren't receiving every discount available, you are throwing money away.

  • Clubs and Organizations - Affiliation with a civic or occupational organization is a good way to get lower rates when buying auto insurance.
  • Seat Belts Save - Buckling up and requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts can save 10% or more off your PIP or medical payments premium.
  • No Accidents - Claim-free drivers pay much less when compared with drivers who are more careless.
  • Drivers Ed for Students - Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to enroll in driver's education in high school.
  • Employee of Federal Government - Active or retired federal employment can save as much as 8% depending on your company.
  • Student in College - Kids in college who are attending college without a vehicle on campus can receive lower rates.
  • Anti-lock Brake System - Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes prevent accidents and will save you 10% or more.
  • New Vehicle Savings - Adding a new car to your policy is cheaper since new cars are generally safer.
  • Pay Upfront and Save - If you pay your entire premium ahead of time instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.

Consumers should know that most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Some only apply to individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So when it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies don't profit that way.

Is there truth in advertising?

Oklahoma drivers get pounded daily by advertisements for the lowest price auto insurance by Allstate, GEICO and Progressive. All the companies make an identical promise that you'll save big if you move to their company.

How can each company say the same thing?

All companies can use profiling for the driver that earns them a profit. For instance, a profitable customer might be profiled as a mature driver, is a homeowner, and has a short commute. A propective insured who meets those qualifications will qualify for the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to save when they switch companies.

Potential insureds who don't measure up to the requirements must pay more money and ends up with business not being written. The ad wording is "customers that switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that much. That's why companies can make the claims of big savings. This illustrates why you should get a wide range of price quotes. It's not possible to predict the company that will fit your personal profile best.

Best coverage at the best price

Discount auto insurance is definitely available on the web and also from your neighborhood Okemah agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance providers may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

People who switch companies do it for a number of reasons such as questionable increases in premium, being labeled a high risk driver, high rates after DUI convictions and even extreme rates for teen drivers. Regardless of your reason, choosing a new insurance company is less work than it seems.

As you shop your coverage around, it's not a good idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. In too many instances, an accident victim reduced collision coverage and learned later that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. Your focus should be to get the best coverage possible at a price you can afford while not skimping on critical coverages.
