5 TIPS
TO LOWER YOUR AUTO INSURANCE COSTS. |
|
1. |
SHOP AROUND |
|
|
Prices vary from company to company. Don’t shop by price alone. Each of the carriers
will give you free no-obligation quotes for your convenience.
|
|
2. |
COMPARE BEFORE YOU BUY |
|
|
Car insurance premiums are based on the car’s sticker price, the cost to repair
it, overall safety record, and the likelihood of theft. Many insurers offer discounts
for features that reduce the risk of injuries or theft, such as daytime running
lights, and anti-theft devices. For more information from the Insurance Institute
of Highway Safety, visit www.iihs.org.

|
3. |
REDUCE COVERAGE ON OLDER CARS |
|
|
Consider dropping collision and/or comprehensive coverage on older cars. If your
car is worth less than 10 times the premium, purchasing the coverage may not be
cost-effective. |
|
4. |
MAINTAIN A GOOD CREDIT RECORD |
|
|
Establishing a solid credit history can cut your insurance costs. Insurers are increasingly
using credit information to price auto policies. Check your credit record on a regular
basis and have any errors corrected promptly so that your information remains accurate.
|
|
5. |
SEEK OUT OTHER DISCOUNTS |
|
|
Companies offer discounts to policyholders who have not had an accident or moving
violation for a specific number of years, or if they have taken a defensive driving
course. If there is a young driver on the policy who is a good student or has taken
a driver education course, you may also qualify for a lower rate. |
