Save Money in Car Insurance
Car insurance is a very important purchase for most people in the United States. Having your car covered is even mandatory in some of the states. The average car insurance premium per year nationwide was at 687 dollars per vehicle in 2000. The following information will help you get the best value for your car insurance dollar.
First of all, you should always maintain a good driving record. Companies often charge safe drivers or drivers free of violations or at-fault accidents with lower rates for automobile insurance. The price an individual will be charged differs according to the various guidelines that each company uses. In addition, it is always good to shop around before purchasing insurance because prices differ from company to company. But not only look for cost, you should also consider other factors such as dependability, service, and the financial condition of the insurance company.
Always give complete and correct information, whenever you fill out an application call for a quote given that your premium quote will be based on this information and thus it is important that these facts are as precise and complete as possible. Solicit to your agent or company for any discounts if you are eligible. Companies often offer discounts such as two or more cars on a policy, good student driver under age 25, participation in driver education courses for mature drivers (between 50 and 65 years of age), anti-theft devices, and airbags or other safety equipment.
You may also reduce your car insurance costs by increasing the deductibles on physical damage on both collision and comprehensive coverage. Ensure to go through your current deductibles in order to determine whether you have enough money to absorb a larger part of your loss in the event of an accident. Something else that you can do is consider reducing or eliminating altogether coverage of physical damage on old vehicles (save a lienholder requires it). Finally, consider the cost of the car insurance before buying your vehicle. Companies often charge higher premiums for cars that cost more to repair or offer less protection to occupants in case of accidents.
Insurance companies might also charge higher sums for vehicles that are more prone to cause more damage when involved in accidents, such as several SUVs. Sport cars and other cars with high theft rates also tend to be more costly to insure.
