Tips for finding cheaper car insurance
The seven tips below give some great ways that you can cut the cost of car insurance.
- Be a responsible driver and save. At-fault accidents increase insurance cost, possibly by an additional $2,876 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even as much as $610 per year for a 50-year-old driver. So be safe and save.
- Your job could lower your rates. Some car insurance providers offer discounts for earning a living in occupations like dentists, firefighters, high school and elementary teachers, members of the military, police officers and law enforcement, engineers, and others. Working in a qualifying occupation may save between $60 and $196 on your annual auto insurance bill, depending on your policy.
- Compare car insurance rates before buying a car. Different vehicles can have significantly different car insurance premiums, and insurance companies can sell policies with a wide range of prices. Check prices before you purchase in order to prevent any surprises when insuring your new car.
- Stay claim free. Most auto insurance companies offer discounts for not filing any claims. Insurance should only be used for larger claims, not nickel-and-dime type claims.
- Buy vehicles with cheaper auto insurance rates. The vehicle you drive has a big impact on the price you pay for car insurance. As an example, a Kia Telluride costs $932 less per year to insure in Arvada than a Dodge Challenger. Drive cheaper models and save money.
- Clean up your credit for better rates. Having a credit score over 800 could save as much as $316 per year when compared to a decent credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a lesser credit rating could cost up to $366 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
- Save by raising your deductibles. Raising your physical damage coverage deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $300 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $588 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
