For Folks Who Need Lower Rates For The Right Coverage

By Chimezirim Odimba

Do you want a more affordable rate that is also adequate coverage? Here are things that will help you attract considerable discounts with ease...

An excellent credit rating will show favorably on your auto insurance rate. Having a poor credit history is simply making it difficult for yourself apart from the fact that your rates will be much more. The truth is that they believe that the likelihood of you defaulting in your premiums is very high. This perception of increased risk makes such individuals attract higher rates in auto insurance and other insurance policies.

If you must quickly get something inside, turn your car off, lock up and pocket your keys. Don't leave your car unlocked and running. This simple act makes it very easy for thieves. Remember, they look for easy targets. An unlocked car with the engine running? What could be easier?

You're certainly paying too much if you have collision and comprehensive coverage for an old car that is not a classic. Your car's Kelly Blue Book value at the time of a claim (and not the value of the car when you bought it) is what determines what you'll get from your insurer. This means that not minding how much you paid and for how long you did, you may get absolutely nothing if the book says it's not worth anything by the time you make a claim.

So do yourself a favor and remove this coverage types from your policy for all old cars. Doing this will save you much and not compromise you in any way.

You'll also get a reasonable discount if you have more than one policy with the same insurer. This simply means you'll should endeavor to buy your auto policy from the same company that provides your home, health or life insurance policies.

However, I must point out that you may not be saving as much as you could by switching. It's worthwhile that you doing comparison shopping. That way you'll be able to determine if this will be to your advantage.

Take part in a defensive driving class. In addition to making you a better driver, it will get you a discount with your insurer provided such a class is recognized by them.

Remember...

Make out some time to visit a minimum of five insurance quotes sites that provide quotes on auto insurance policies. It will take you not more than 25 minutes.

While you visit each site, ensure you give the same information. Doing otherwise will return misleading results. After you've obtained your auto insurance quotes, compare them to determine which serves your interest best in price/value.
