- Avoid traffic tickets to pay less. In order to get affordable car insurance in Paterson, it’s necessary to be a good, safe driver. Not surprisingly, just one or two minor traffic violations have the potential to raise the cost of a policy by up to $840 per year.
- Compare insurance costs before buying a car. Different models, and even different trim levels of the same model, have very different car insurance rates, and insurance companies can sell policies with a wide range of costs. Check the price before you buy a new car in order to avoid price shock when buying coverage for your new car.
- Be a careful driver and pay less for insurance. Too many at-fault accidents can cost more, possibly up to $4,508 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even as much as $770 per year for a 60-year-old driver. So be safe and save.
- If your car is older, remove unneeded coverages. Deleting comprehensive and collision coverage from vehicles that are older can cut the cost of insurance significantly.
- Save money due to your profession. The vast majority of car insurance companies offer policy discounts for being employed in occupations like nurses, police officers and law enforcement, doctors, firefighters, accountants, scientists, and others. Obtaining this discount could save between $95 and $307 on your annual insurance cost, depending on your policy.
