Are car insurance companies telling the truth?

Car insurance companies such as Progressive, GEICO, Allstate and State Farm continually stream ads on TV and radio. They all seem to say the same thing about savings after switching to their company. How do they all claim to save you money? This is how they do it.

All companies have a preferred profile for the driver that makes them money. For instance, a desirable insured might be a mature driver, has no prior claims, and has great credit. Any new insured who fits that profile is entitled to the best price and most likely will cut their rates substantially.

Drivers who don't qualify for the "perfect" profile will have to pay higher premiums which usually ends up with the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "drivers who switch" not "people who quote" save that much. This is how companies can truthfully advertise the savings.

Because of the profiling, you need to compare as many rates as you can. It's just too difficult to predict which insurance companies will give you the biggest savings.

How to know if you need help

When buying the best car insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no "best" method to buy coverage. Everyone's situation is unique so your insurance needs to address that. These are some specific questions can help discover whether your personal situation would benefit from professional advice.

Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
What are the financial responsibility laws in Utah?
Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Additional information is located on the website for the Utah Insurance Department. Click here for link. Visitors are able to read enforcement actions against agents and companies, file complaints about an insurance agent or broker, get help finding coverage, and report car insurance fraud.

Shop smart and save

As you prepare to switch companies, never reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are many occasions where consumers will sacrifice collision coverage and learned later that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your aim should be to buy enough coverage for the lowest price.

Cheaper car insurance can be sourced both online and also from your neighborhood Roy agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. 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.
