How to find cheaper auto insurance

Resourceful drivers in Fayetteville are often looking to reduce the monthly expense for car insurance, so take a minute to review the savings tips in the list below to see if you can save a little dough on your next auto insurance policy.

• Your employer could save you money. Many insurance companies offer discounts for specific occupations like high school and elementary teachers, emergency medical technicians, architects, firefighters, accountants, engineers, and others. By qualifying for an occupational discount, you may save between $73 and $236 on your auto insurance bill, subject to policy limits.
• Bring up your credit score to save money. Having an excellent credit rating above 800 may save up to $381 per year compared to a good credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, an imperfect credit score below 579 could cost as much as $441 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
• Pay small claims out-of-pocket. Most auto insurance companies reduce rates a little if you do not file any claims. Auto insurance should only be used to protect you from large financial hits, not small claims that can be paid out-of-pocket.
• Shop around and save. Setting aside 5-10 minutes to get a few free car insurance quotes is the best way to save money. Rates change often and you can switch companies very easily.
• Driving citations can increase insurance cost. In order to get affordable auto insurance in Fayetteville, it’s necessary to obey traffic laws. A few minor blemishes on your driving record can potentially raise rates by at least $646 per year. Serious violations such as DWI and leaving the scene of an accident could raise rates by an additional $2,254 or more.
• Remove optional coverage on older vehicles. Dropping comprehensive and collision coverage from vehicles whose low value makes coverage cost prohibitive can cheapen the cost substantially.
