Tips for finding cheaper New Orleans car insurance quotes
Smart drivers should always be thinking of ways to reduce the monthly expense for insurance, so take a minute or two to look through the tips below to see if you can save a little cash on your next renewal.
- If your car is older, remove unneeded coverages. Dropping full coverage from vehicles whose value has dropped to the point where coverage is not cost effective can reduce the cost of insurance considerably.
- Avoid accidents to save on New Orleans auto insurance. Too many at-fault accidents will increase rates, possibly by an extra $4,970 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even as much as $1,142 per year for a 50-year-old driver. So drive safe and save!
- Compare car insurance quote before buying a car. Different vehicle models can have significantly different car insurance premiums, and companies can price policies with very different rates. Get comparison quotes before you buy a different vehicle in order to prevent insurance sticker shock when you receive your first bill.
- Your profession could save you money. The vast majority of insurance companies offer policy discounts for occupations like emergency medical technicians, high school and elementary teachers, doctors, engineers, members of the military, and others. If you can qualify for this discount, you could save between $107 and $372 on your annual auto insurance bill, depending on your policy.
- Remain claim free and save. Insurance companies reduce rates a little if you do not file any claims. Insurance is intended to be used for large financial hits, not nickel-and-dime type claims.
- Choose vehicles that have cheaper auto insurance. The performance of the vehicle you drive has a significant impact on the price you pay for car insurance. For example, a Subaru Forester costs $4,292 less per year to insure in New Orleans than a Nissan GT-R. Choose lower performance vehicles and save money.
