Tips for saving money on Boise car insurance

Financially savvy drivers are always searching for ways to pay less for insurance, so look through the money-saving ideas in this next list and maybe you can save a few bucks the next time your policy renews.

• You don’t have to stick with the same company. Taking 5-10 minutes before every policy renewal to get some free car insurance quotes is our best recommendation for saving money. Companies make rate modifications frequently and you do not have to wait for your renewal to change companies.
• Buy vehicles with low cost insurance rates. The performance of the vehicle you drive is an important factor in the cost of auto insurance. For example, a Subaru Crosstrek costs $2,150 less per year to insure in Boise than a Acura NSX. Lower performance vehicles cost less to insure.
• Raise your credit score to score lower rates. Having a good credit rating over 800 may save $298 per year compared to a good rating of 670-739. Conversely, a less-than-perfect credit history could cost up to $346 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
• A good driving record means cheaper insurance cost. In order to get the cheapest car insurance in Boise, it pays to be a good, safe driver. As a matter of fact, just a couple minor driving infractions could increase car insurance rates by up to $508 per year. Being convicted of a major violation such as a DUI could raise rates by an additional $1,772 or more.
• Compare auto insurance rates before buying a car. Different vehicles, and even different trims of the same vehicle, have very different costs for insurance, and auto insurance companies can charge widely varying rates. Check the cost of insurance before you purchase in order to avoid insurance sticker shock when you see your first insurance bill.
• Fewer accidents means cheaper car insurance. Too many at-fault accidents can cost more, possibly up to $2,718 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even as much as $794 per year for a 40-year-old driver. So drive safe and save!
