How to save on auto insurance in Chicago
Drivers are always searching for ways to save money on insurance, so take a minute to read through the money-saving tips in this next list to see if you can save some money the next time you buy a policy.
- A good driving record pays dividends. To get the cheapest auto insurance in Chicago, it pays to avoid traffic citations. As a matter of fact, just one or two driving offenses have the ramification of spiking insurance policy cost by at least $482 per year. Major misdemeanor violations such as reckless driving could raise rates by an additional $1,692 or more.
- If your car is older, remove unneeded coverages. Removing physical damage coverage from older vehicles that are no longer worth much will cut the cost of car insurance substantially.
- Earn a discount from your job. The large majority of insurance companies offer discounts for having a job in professions like scientists, nurses, architects, high school and elementary teachers, emergency medical technicians, and others. If your profession qualifies you for this discount, you could potentially save between $55 and $186 on your annual car insurance cost, depending on the age of the rated driver.
- Bad drivers pay more for auto insurance. At-fault accidents raise insurance rates, possibly as much as $2,576 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even $590 per year for a 50-year-old driver. So be a careful driver and save!
- Save money by qualifying for discounts. Discounted rates may be available if the insured drivers are homeowners, insure multiple vehicles on the same policy, belong to certain professional organizations, insure their home and car with the same company, drive low annual mileage, or many other discounts which could save the average Chicago driver as much as $312 per year.
