How to find cheaper Farmington car insurance

Farmington drivers are often looking to pay less for auto insurance So glance through the savings tips in the list below and it’s very possible you can save a little cash on your next renewal.

• Fewer violations means cheaper rates. If you want to get the cheapest auto insurance in Farmington, it makes good sense to be a safe driver. Just a couple of minor incidents on your driving report could raise rates as much as $398 per year. Major convictions like DWI/DUI and reckless driving could raise rates by an additional $1,388 or more.
• Great credit can mean great car insurance rates. Having a credit score above 800 may save $235 per year compared to a decent credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a subpar credit rating could cost as much as $273 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
• Be a careful driver and save. Too many at-fault accidents can cost more, possibly by an additional $2,136 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even as much as $450 per year for a 50-year-old driver. So be safe and save.
• Higher deductibles mean lower cost. Boosting your physical damage 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.
• Your employer could lower your rates. Some auto insurance companies offer policy discounts for specific occupations like lawyers, college professors, members of the military, architects, scientists, nurses, and others. Being employed in a qualifying profession may save between $45 and $145 on your yearly auto insurance premium, depending on your policy.
• Policy discounts mean cheaper auto insurance. Discounts may be available if the insureds are loyal customers, drive a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, are senior citizens, insure multiple vehicles on the same policy, are good students, or many other policy discounts which could save the average Farmington driver as much as $256 per year on auto insurance.
• Choose a vehicle that is cheaper to insure. The make and model of vehicle you drive is one of the primary factors in the price you pay for insurance. As an example, a Kia Sportage costs $680 less per year to insure in Farmington than a Porsche 911. Lower performance vehicles save money.
