Tips for saving money on Newark car insurance

Drivers should always be thinking of ways to reduce the monthly expense for auto insurance, so take a minute to review the tips in this next list and it’s very likely you can save a few bucks on your next policy purchase.

• Buy vehicles that are cheaper to insure. Vehicle type has a big impact on the price you pay for insurance. As an example, a Volvo XC40 costs $838 less per year to insure in Newark than a Chevrolet Camaro. Lower performance vehicles cost less to insure.
• Better credit scores yield better car insurance rates. Having a good credit rating over 800 could save up to $447 per year when compared to a credit score between 670-739. Conversely, a credit score below 579 could cost around $519 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
• Compare rates before you buy the car. Different vehicle models have significantly different auto insurance rates, and companies can sell policies with a wide range of costs. Get multiple insurance quotes before you purchase in order to avoid price shock when you get the bill.
• Shop around for a better deal. Setting aside a few minutes before every renewal to get a few free car insurance quotes can significantly reduce your monthly cost. Rates are always changing and switching companies is very easy to do.
• Citations and violations increase rates. If you want to get affordable car insurance in Newark, it’s necessary to drive conservatively. As few as two minor traffic citations have the potential to increase insurance cost by up to $760 per year.
• Reduce coverage on older cars. Deleting physical damage coverage from vehicles that are older will cut the cost of car insurance substantially.
• Qualify for discounts to lower insurance cost. Savings may be available if the insureds are loyal customers, are claim-free, insure multiple vehicles on the same policy, insure their home and car with the same company, or many other discounts which could save the average Newark driver as much as $482 per year.
