Take advantage of discounts

Car insurance companies do not list every discount very well, so here is a list both well-publicized as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving.

  • Pay Now and Pay Less - By paying your policy upfront rather than paying monthly you may reduce your total bill.
  • Save over 55 - Older drivers may receive better auto insurance rates.
  • Safety Course Discount - Completing a course in driver safety could cut 5% off your bill depending on where you live.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Vehicles with anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and will save you 10% or more.
  • Club Memberships - Participating in a professional or civic organization may earn a discount when shopping for auto insurance.
  • Paperwork-free - Certain companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks for buying your policy online.

A little note about advertised discounts, some of the credits will not apply to the overall cost of the policy. A few only apply to individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like it's possible to get free car insurance, you won't be that lucky.

The best insurance company isn't always the cheapest

While you're price shopping online, do not sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There have been many situations where drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage only to find out they didn't purchase enough coverage. The proper strategy is to buy enough coverage at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.

Cheaper auto insurance is attainable online and also from your neighborhood Yarmouth Port agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies may not provide online quoting and these smaller companies work with independent agents.
