How to find cheaper Colorado Springs car insurance
Drivers are always searching for ways to reduce the monthly expense for insurance So browse the money-saving ideas in the list below to see if you can save a little dough on your next car insurance policy.
- Buy vehicles with more affordable insurance. Vehicle type is one of the primary factors in the cost of insurance. For example, a Volvo XC40 costs $1,940 less per year to insure in Colorado Springs than a Audi R8. Less performance equals cheaper rates.
- Get cheaper rates by researching policy discounts. Savings may be available if the policyholders are claim-free, are loyal customers, are military or federal employees, drive a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, or many other policy discounts which could save the average Colorado Springs driver as much as $312 per year on auto insurance.
- A good credit rating can save money. Having a high credit rating of over 800 could save $288 per year compared to a credit score ranging from 670-739. Conversely, an imperfect credit score below 579 could cost up to $334 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
- Increase physical damage deductibles to save money. Boosting your physical damage 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.
- Citations and violations increase insurance rates. If you want affordable auto insurance in Colorado Springs, it makes good sense to be a safe driver. A couple of minor blemishes on your driving record could result in raising rates as much as $482 per year. Major violations such as DUI or reckless driving could raise rates by an additional $1,684 or more.
