Vehicle Insurance -- Ways To Get It Affordably

By Chimezirim Odimba

You'll save by being loyal to an insurer due to the long term discount and accident forgiveness which they give to long-standing policy holders. Some insurers will give you up to 5% in discounts once you've been with them for up to three years while others will give you such a discount only when you've stayed for up to five.

Most insurers will also not raise the rates of a long standing policy holder if they make only just one claim. These are all incentives for you to stay with them for as long as possible.

Just bear in mind that some people will be better off if they switched to another insurer notwithstanding the many discounts given to long term policy holders.

Make sure your car is always parked in a safe place. Is there a risk of theft, vandalism or accidental damage where you park your car? Then look for a better place as doing otherwise might lead to a claim that will eventually increase your rate. Parking your car in a garage will help you reduce your rate over time.

Also make sure that your car is always parked in a well-lit area. .And for no reason should you leave your car in the open street for a whole night.

You can get discounts from a good number of insurers if you're part of associations especially the bigger ones. It makes sense for an auto insurer to give group discounts to an association that has a large membership. Bearing this in mind, you'll do well to see if there are good discounts with any association you're part of.

An easy way to make sure you get lower rates is being careful every time you're behind wheels. Please, ensure that you make it a policy not to drive if you even sip any alcoholic beverage.

Driving with more than the permissible amount of alcohol in your blood stream will make you attract exorbitant rates if you're fortunate or be compelled to be without auto insurance if you're not so lucky. Even little things like speeding tickets do add up to make you pay more expensive rates on the long run. For your safety then and more affordable rates, never violate any traffic law no matter how negligible you think it is.

Unless you live in the suburbs, always take advantage of the mass transit. This simple action will help you reduce your mileage. As you may already know, if your mileage drops, your rates too will drop. So if it's NOT essential that you use your car, don't. It will save you much.

And...

Take out some time to visit at least five insurance quotes sites that provide quotes on auto insurance policies. It should require not more than 25 minutes.

As you visit each site, ensure you input the same information. Doing otherwise will produce misleading results. After you've obtained your auto insurance quotes, compare them to see which serves your interest best both in price and value.
