Cheaper Vehicle Insurance? Use These

By Chimezirim Odimba

We all will be happy to get a very cheap rate that comes with enough coverage. But how can this happen? Let's discuss some time-tested steps to achieving just that...

1. A multi-policy discount is one sure way to lower your total insurance cost. All you must do to become eligible for this is to purchase your auto policy from the same carrier which is providing, say, your home owners insurance.

However, I must stress that you might NOT be saving as much as you might by switching. Comparison shop with quotes sites and then have a chat with your insurance agent. Once you do this, you won't be be taking chances as you choose which to do since know definitely which saves you more.

2. There's A type of discount called the "good driver discount." It's for people who haven't made claims for three years and more. Several insurers don't give this discount without some persuasion.

If your insurance agent tells you that they do NOT give this discount indicate that you might switch to another provider. With this quality of driving record getting a much cheaper rate is certainly very easy because claims-free policy holders are every insurer's dream.

Almost all insurance providers will do everything possible to make sure they do NOT lose a prized policyholder and this should result in a concession from them.

3. You're definitely paying too much if you've got collision and comprehensive coverage for an old car that isn't a classic. A vehicle's Kelly Blue Book value at point of filing claims (and not the price of the vehicle when you bought it) is what affects what you will get paid by an insurance provider. So even if you've paid your premiums diligently for several years but the Kelly Blue Book value shows your vehicle is worth nothing, you'll get a dime from your insurance provider and they'll be totally protected by the law.

Do the smart thing and leave out both of them from your auto insurance policy. Doing this will save you much and not put you at risk at the same time.

4. Opting for high deductibles is a sure step to land more affordable rates. The recommended choice is the highest you can afford with some level of comfort.

Your insurer you to pay this amount.

5. Your rate is seriously influenced by your total mileage. So do all you can to leave your vehicle whenever there is a good alternative. This is relevant more to people whose vocation and place of residence give easy access to standard mass transit networks.

You can also bring down your mileage by joining a carpool.

6. For people who are under 25 years, car insurance rates can be quite astronomical. If you fall into this age group you can get more affordable rates if you keep getting good grades at school.

You have to have a grade point of not less than B to have this good student discount. This will shave off up to 5 percent from your rate once you meet eligibility requirements. It's unusual to find reckless young drivers who maintain wonderful grades.

7. Take out some time to visit not less than 5 insurance quotes sites that provide quotes on auto insurance policies. This will require around 25 minutes.

While you visit each quotes site, make sure you give the same information. Doing otherwise will produce misleading quotes. When you've received your auto insurance quotes, compare them to see which serves your interest best in price/value.
