How to Get Cheap Sidney Auto Insurance

Searching for low-cost Sidney auto insurance on the web can seem to be problematic for consumers new to online price comaprisons. With a ridiculous number of companies in the marketplace, how can consumers possibly compare the different rates to find the best available price?

Buying car insurance in Sidney is quite easy. If you currently have a car insurance policy, you should be able to lower your premiums substantially using these methods. Nevertheless, Kentucky consumers do need to know the way insurance companies determine prices and use this information to your advantage.

Low Cost Sidney Auto Insurance

There are several ways of comparing rates from local Sidney auto insurance companies. The best method to find the lowest rates is to use the internet to compare rates. This can be done in a couple of different ways.

  • The recommended way to find low rates is to use a rate comparison form (click to open form in new window). This form saves time by eliminating separate forms for each company you want a rate for. One form will return price quotes from several companies. Recommended for those who want to invest the least amount of time.
  • A slightly less efficient method to get quotes online consists of visiting each individual company website to complete a price quote. For sake of this example, let's assume you want comparison quotes from , and . To get each rate you have to spend time on each company's site to enter your coverage information, and that's why the first method is more popular.

  • The hardest way of comparing rate quotes is driving to insurance agents' offices. Shopping for auto insurance online has reduced the need for local agents unless you have a need for the professional guidance that only a license agent can provide. Drivers can get the lowest quotes online and still use a local agent. We'll cover that shortly.

It's up to you how you get prices quotes, just make darn sure you compare identical deductibles and coverage limits with each company. If each company quotes different values for each quote it will be very difficult to make an equal comparison in Sidney. Having just a slight variation in coverage limits may result in large price differences. And when comparison shopping, comparing more company's prices helps locate better pricing.

Save big with these discounts

Companies that sell car insurance don't always advertise all available discounts very clearly, so we break down both the well known and the harder-to-find ways to save on auto insurance.

  • More Vehicles More Savings - Insuring multiple cars or trucks on the same auto insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
  • Senior Citizens - Mature drivers can possibly qualify for a small decrease in premiums.
  • Pay Upfront and Save - If paying your policy premium upfront instead of paying each month you could save up to 5%.
  • Student in College - Any of your kids who attend school more than 100 miles from home without a vehicle on campus may qualify for this discount.
  • Paperless Signup - A few companies may give you up to $50 simply for signing over the internet.
  • Lower Rates for Military - Having a family member in the military can result in better rates.
  • Government Employees - Being employed by or retired from a federal job could cut as much as 10% off depending on your company.
  • Braking Control Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles prevent accidents and earn discounts up to 10%.

Consumers should know that most discount credits are not given to the overall cost of the policy. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. Even though it may seem like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies don't profit that way.
