Are you getting all your discounts?

Companies that sell car insurance do not list all their discounts in an easy-to-find place, so we break down some of the more common and the more hidden car insurance savings.

  • College Student - Children who attend school more than 100 miles from home and do not have a car can be insured at a reduced rate.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount - Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems are safer to drive and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Anti-theft System - Anti-theft and alarm systems can help prevent theft and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Defensive Driver - Taking a driver safety course can save you 5% or more depending on where you live.
  • Accident Forgiveness - A few companies permit an accident without raising rates as long as you don't have any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Homeowners Savings - Owning a house in Rosedale may trigger a car insurance policy discount because owning a home is proof that your finances are in order.

Keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to your bottom line cost. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. So when the math indicates you could get a free car insurance policy, it just doesn't work that way.

Rosedale Car Insurance Quote Comparison

Most major insurance companies such as Progressive, GEICO, Allstate and State Farm allow you to get pricing directly from their websites. Getting quotes is pretty easy as you just type in your coverage preferences as detailed in the form. Once entered, their rating system will obtain credit information and your driving record and gives you a price quote.

Online price quotes makes comparing rates easy, but the process of having to visit many different websites and complete many quote forms can get tiresome after awhile. But it's very important to do this in order to find the best price on car insurance.

There is a better way!

A more efficient way to get multiple rate quotes is to use a quote form that gets price quotes from several different companies. The form is fast, eliminates form submissions, and makes price shopping online much easier to do. As soon as the form is sent, it is rated and you can choose any of the quotes that you receive. If the quotes result in lower rates, you can click and sign and purchase coverage. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes and may save quite a bit of money.

Tailor your coverage to you

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

For instance, these questions might point out whether you will benefit from professional help.

  • What are Virginia no-fault laws?
  • Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
  • Does my personal auto insurance policy cover using my vehicle for business use?
  • Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
  • When do I need to add a new car to my policy?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form.

Final considerations

When buying insurance coverage, you should never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There are many occasions where an insured cut uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible at an affordable rate.

Affordable car insurance can be found from both online companies and with local Rosedale insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance companies do not offer online quoting and most of the time these regional insurance providers sell through independent agents.

You just learned many ways to get a better price on car insurance. The key thing to remember is the more times you quote, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. You may be surprised to find that the lowest priced car insurance comes from an unexpected company.
