Money-saving tips for finding cheaper Hartford car insurance

Hartford drivers are always looking to reduce the monthly expense for auto insurance So glance at the tips and ideas in this next list and it’s very possible you can save a little dough on your next car insurance policy.

• Better credit scores yield better car insurance rates. Maintaining a high credit score could save an average of $384 per year when compared to a credit rating between 670-739. Conversely, a mediocre credit rating could cost up to $445 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
• Keep your claim-free discount. Most insurance companies give a discount if you have not filed any claims. Insurance should be used for significant financial loss, not for minor claims.
• Save money due to your employment. Just about all auto insurance companies offer discounts for having a job in professions like dentists, engineers, accountants, nurses, doctors, architects, and others. Working in a qualifying occupation could potentially save between $73 and $238 on your yearly car insurance premium, subject to policy limits.
• More discounts equals more savings. Discounted rates may be available if the insured drivers are homeowners, insure multiple vehicles on the same policy, drive a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, are claim-free, are loyal customers, or many other discounts which could save the average Hartford driver as much as $414 per year on the cost of car insurance
• Choose a vehicle with more affordable auto insurance rates. The vehicle you choose to drive is a huge factor in the price you pay for auto insurance. As an example, a Honda CR-V costs $2,676 less per year to insure in Hartford than a Nissan GT-R. Choose cheaper models and save money.
• Be a careful driver and save. Having frequent at-fault accidents will raise rates, to the tune of $3,490 per year for a 20-year-old driver and as much as $738 per year for a 50-year-old driver. So be safe and save.
