How to find cheaper Middletown car insurance

Smart drivers in Middletown are often looking to save money on insurance, so look through the tips in this next list and maybe you’ll find a way to save a few bucks when buying auto insurance.

• Raise your credit for better rates. Having excellent credit of 800+ could save around $437 per year versus a credit score between 670-739. Conversely, a weaker credit score could cost up to $506 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
• A clean driving record saves money. In order to have affordable car insurance in Middletown, it pays to obey traffic laws. A couple of blemishes on your motor vehicle report could result in raising insurance policy cost by up to $744 per year.
• Your job could earn you policy discounts. Most auto insurance providers offer policy discounts for being employed in professions like architects, doctors, nurses, accountants, engineers, high school and elementary teachers, and others. By qualifying for this profession discount, you may save between $83 and $271 on your car insurance cost.
• Choose vehicles that have more affordable car insurance. The performance of the vehicle you drive is one of the biggest factors in the cost of car insurance. For example, a Subaru Forester costs $2,940 less per year to insure in Middletown than a Nissan GT-R. Lower performance vehicles save money.
• Stay claim free and save. Most auto insurance companies give a discounted rate if you have not filed any claims. Auto insurance should be used for larger claims, not for insignificant claims.
• Raising deductibles makes insurance more affordable. Raising the comprehensive and collision deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $382 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $742 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
