Forget anything you know (or think you know) about auto insurance because I'm going to let you in on the secrets to the fastest and easiest way to properly buy coverages while reducing your premium.

Good Decisions Result in Lower Rates

Consumers need to have an understanding of the factors that come into play when calculating auto insurance rates. Understanding what influences your rates enables informed choices that may reward you with better auto insurance rates.

Being married is a good thing - Having a wife or husband actually saves money on auto insurance. It means you're more mature and statistics show drivers who are married are more cautious.
Small claims can cost you - Car insurance companies in Florida generally give better rates to drivers who are claim-free. If you frequently file small claims, you can pretty much guarantee higher rates. Car insurance is intended to be relied upon for major claims that would cause financial hardship.
Rates may be higher depending on your occupation - Jobs such as judges, social workers and accountants tend to have higher rates than average due to high stress and long work hours. On the flip side, jobs such as farmers, athletes and the unemployed receive lower rates.
High crash test scores lower rates - Safer cars get lower rates. These vehicles reduce injuries and better occupant protection translates into fewer and smaller insurance claims and lower rates for you.
Optional equipment can affect rates - Driving a car with a theft deterrent system can save you a little every year. Anti-theft devices such as tamper alarm systems, vehicle immobilizer technology and General Motors OnStar all hinder auto theft.
Low deductibles can be expensive - Physical damage insurance, termed comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy, is used to repair damage to your car. Some instances where coverage would apply are collision with another vehicle, collision with an animal, and burglary. The deductibles are how much you are required to spend out-of-pocket before a claim is paid by your company. The more you are required to pay out-of-pocket, the less your company will charge you for insurance.
Liability insurance protects assets - The liability section of your policy will protect you if ever a jury decides you are liable for causing damage or personal injury in an accident. Liability insurance provides legal defense up to the limits shown on your policy. This coverage is very inexpensive compared to insuring for physical damage coverage, so do not skimp.

More discounts equal less premium

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but you can get discounts that can drop the cost substantially. A few discounts will automatically apply when you purchase, but less common discounts must be inquired about before being credited.

Homeowners Pay Less - Owning a house in Parkland can save you money because of the fact that having a home shows financial diligence.
Student Driver Training - Cut your cost by having your teen driver complete a driver education course in high school.
No Accidents - Claim-free drivers pay much less as compared to accident-prone drivers.
Drive Less and Save - Keeping the miles down could be rewarded with a substantially lower rate.
Pay Upfront and Save - By paying your policy upfront instead of making monthly payments you may reduce your total bill.

It's important to note that some of the credits will not apply to the entire cost. Most cut specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears you could get a free auto insurance policy, you're out of luck. But any discount will cut your premiums.

Switch companies and save? Really?

Auto insurance companies such as State Farm, GEICO and Progressive regularly use ads in print and on television. They all seem to have a common claim that you can save if you move to their company. How do they all say the same thing? It's all in the numbers.

Different companies can use profiling for the driver that makes them money. For instance, a desirable insured might be profiled as between 30 and 50, has no tickets, and has great credit. A propective insured that hits that "sweet spot" gets the lowest rates and therefore will cut their rates substantially.

Consumers who do not match the "perfect" profile will have to pay higher prices and this can result in business not being written. The ads say "customers who switch" not "everyone that quotes" save that much. That's why insurance companies can advertise the savings.

Because of the profiling, you should get a wide range of price quotes. It's not possible to predict the company that will fit your personal profile best.

Shop smart and save

Lower-priced auto insurance is definitely available on the web and also from your neighborhood Parkland agents, so compare prices from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. There are still a few companies who may not provide online price quotes and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.

When you buy insurance online, you should never buy poor coverage just to save money. In many cases, an insured dropped liability coverage limits only to discover later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your aim should be to purchase plenty of coverage at the best price.
