Best practices for saving money on auto insurance

Resourceful drivers should always be thinking of ways to pay less for insurance, so scan the tips and ideas below and it’s very likely you can save a few bucks on your next policy purchase.

• Compare auto insurance rates before buying a car. Different models, and even different trim levels of the same model, have very different costs for insurance, and companies can charge very different rates. Check the cost of insurance before you purchase in order to prevent price shock when you see your first bill.
• Consider buying higher deductibles. Jacking up your deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $276 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $538 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Earn discounts to save money. Discounts may be available if the policyholders are claim-free, belong to certain professional organizations, drive a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, are senior citizens, choose electronic billing, or many other discounts which could save the average Miami driver as much as $432 per year.
• Get a discount from your employer. Just about all car insurance companies offer discounts for being employed in occupations like engineers, architects, nurses, firefighters, high school and elementary teachers, and others. By qualifying for this discount, you could save between $76 and $257 on your auto insurance bill.
• Shop around and save. Take a couple of minutes to get free car insurance quotes is the best recommendation for saving money. Rates change quite often and switching companies is very easy to do.
• Remain claim free. Auto insurance companies reduce rates a little if you do not file any claims. Insurance should only be used in the case of significant claims, not for small claims.
