Tips for finding cheaper Springfield auto insurance quotes

Springfield drivers should always be searching for ways to reduce their monthly insurance expenses. So take a minute to review the money-saving ideas below and maybe you can save some money the next time you need to insure a vehicle.

• Your job could reduce your rates. Just about all car insurance providers offer discounts for certain occupations like scientists, dentists, accountants, nurses, high school and elementary teachers, and others. Getting this discount applied to your policy could save between $46 and $150 on your annual premium, depending on the policy coverages selected.
• Buy vehicles with more affordable insurance. The make and model of vehicle you drive is an important factor in the price you pay for car insurance in Springfield. For example, a Kia Soul costs $516 less per year to insure in Springfield than a Nissan 370Z. Lower performance vehicles cost less to insure.
• Remain claim free. Most auto insurance companies offer discounts for not filing any claims. Auto insurance should only be used for large financial hits, not for small claims.
• Remove optional coverage on older vehicles. Removing physical damage coverage from vehicles that are older can reduce the cost of insurance substantially.
• More discounts equals more savings. Savings may be available if the policyholders are military or federal employees, are good students, take a defensive driving course, choose electronic billing, or many other discounts which could save the average Springfield driver as much as $260 per year.
