Saving money on car insurance

Drivers should always be thinking of ways to reduce their monthly auto insurance expenses. So take a minute or two to look through the savings concepts in this next list and maybe you’ll be able to save a little dough on your next auto insurance policy.

• Higher physical damage deductibles lower policy cost. Jacking up your deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $382 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $742 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Bring up your credit score to save money. Having an over-800 credit score may save up to $398 per year over a credit score ranging from 670-739. Conversely, a mediocre credit rating could cost around $462 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
• Careless drivers have higher auto insurance rates. Having frequent at-fault accidents will raise rates, possibly by an additional $3,624 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even as much as $1,056 per year for a 40-year-old driver. So be safe and save.
• Your occupation could save you money. Some auto insurance companies offer policy discounts for having a job in professions like architects, lawyers, scientists, firefighters, high school and elementary teachers, college professors, and others. Qualifying for this discount could save between $76 and $247 on your auto insurance cost, depending on the age of the driver.
• Shop around for better rates. Setting aside 5-10 minutes to get some free car insurance quotes is a great way to save money. Companies make rate modifications frequently and switching to a different company is very easy to do.
• Compare auto insurance rates before buying a car. Different cars, trucks, and SUVs have very different costs for insurance, and insurance companies can sell coverages with very different rates. Check prices before you buy a new car to prevent any surprises when buying coverage for your new car.
• If your vehicle is older, remove optional coverages. Deleting comprehensive and collision coverage from older vehicles that are no longer worth much can cheapen the cost to insure substantially.
