Helpful tips to save on auto insurance
Smart drivers in Oakland are always searching for ways to cut the monthly cost of car insurance, so study the savings tips in this next list and see if you can save some money.
- Avoid driving violations to reduce policy cost. In order to have the cheapest car insurance in Oakland, it pays to drive safe. In fact, just one or two minor driving infractions have the ramification of increasing the cost of a policy by at least $568 per year. Serious moving violations such as DWI/DUI and reckless driving could raise rates by an additional $1,976 or more.
- Research policy discounts to save money. Discounts may be available if the insureds insure multiple vehicles on the same policy, are homeowners, are loyal customers, insure their home and car with the same company, drive a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, or many other policy discounts which could save the average Oakland driver as much as $364 per year on the cost of car insurance
- Compare the cost of insurance before buying a car. Different models, and even different trim levels of the same model, have very different costs for insurance, and auto insurance companies can price policies with very different rates. Get plenty of quotes to compare the cost of insurance before you buy a new car in order to prevent any surprises when you receive your first bill.
- The higher the deductibles, the lower the cost. Increasing your policy deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $236 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $456 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
- Excellent credit scores get the best rates. Having a high credit score of 800+ could save up to $338 per year over a slightly lower credit rating between 670-739. Conversely, a less-than-perfect credit score could cost around $392 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
- Choose vehicles that have low cost car insurance. Vehicle type has a big impact on the cost of car insurance. For example, a Subaru Impreza costs $2,298 less per year to insure in Oakland than a Acura NSX. Insure cheaper models and save money.
- Your choice of occupation could save you money. The large majority of auto insurance companies offer policy discounts for specific occupations like emergency medical technicians, firefighters, doctors, accountants, architects, police officers and law enforcement, and others. Qualifying for an occupational discount may save between $65 and $225 on your annual car insurance cost, depending on your policy.
