Comprehensive Ridgeway Auto Insurance Comparison

Most companies like State Farm and Allstate allow you to get price estimates on the web. Getting online rates is quite simple as you simply enter the coverages you want into the quote form. When the form is submitted, the company's rating system will obtain your credit score and driving record and provides a quote.

This streamlines rate comparisons, but the work required to visit different websites and enter the same data into a form is repetitive and time-consuming. Unfortunately, it is important to do this in order to find a lower rate.

A quicker way to lower your rates uses one simple form that analyzes rates from more than one company. It's a real time-saver, reduces the work, and makes quoting online much easier. After sending the form, it is rated and you can choose any one of the quotes returned. If you find a better price you can simply submit the application and buy the new coverage. The entire process just takes a couple of minutes and may save quite a bit of money.

More discounts equal less premium

Companies that sell car insurance don't always publicize every available discount very clearly, so we researched both well-publicized and also the lesser-known ways to save on auto insurance.

  • Discount for Good Grades - A discount for being a good student can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. Earning this discount can benefit you until age 25.
  • Multi-car Discount - Having more than one vehicle on the same auto insurance policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • Braking Control Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles are safer to drive and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Auto/Life Discount - Some companies give a discount if you purchase auto and life insurance together.
  • Low Mileage - Driving fewer miles could be rewarded with better rates on cars that stay parked.

Keep in mind that most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it just doesn't work that way.
