Saving money on auto insurance

Financially savvy drivers in Springfield should always be searching for ways to pay less for insurance, so take a minute to read through the savings concepts in this next list and maybe you’ll be able to save a few bucks on your next policy.

• Get cheaper rates because of your profession. Just about all car insurance companies offer discounts for being employed in occupations like members of the military, doctors, emergency medical technicians, nurses, scientists, and others. If you can qualify for this discount, you could potentially save between $59 and $190 on your auto insurance bill, subject to policy limits.
• Increasing deductibles lowers insurance cost. Raising your policy deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $300 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $588 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Keep your claim-free discount. Auto insurance companies offer discounts for not filing any claims. Auto insurance should be used to protect you from large financial hits, not minor claims that should be paid out-of-pocket.
• Reduce coverage on older cars. Dropping comprehensive and collision coverage from vehicles that are older can cut the cost of car insurance considerably.
• Shop around for better prices. Taking 5-10 minutes before every policy renewal to get free car insurance quotes is our best recommendation for saving money. Rates change often and switching to a different company is very easy to do.
• Be a responsible driver and save. Having multiple accidents could cost you more, possibly up to $2,786 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even $474 per year for a 60-year-old driver. So drive safe and save!
• Compare rates before you buy the car. Different cars can have significantly different car insurance rates, and auto insurance companies can sell coverages with a wide range of prices. Get quotes to compare the cost of insurance before you buy a new car so you can avoid insurance sticker shock when buying coverage for your new car.
