Eight ways to save on auto insurance
Hobbs drivers are always looking to reduce the monthly expense for car insurance, so scan the money-saving tips below and maybe you’ll find a way to save some money the next time you buy a policy.
- Compare insurance cost before buying a car. Different cars, trucks, and SUVs have significantly different auto insurance rates, and companies can charge a wide range of prices. Get quotes before you buy a new vehicle in order to avoid any surprises when buying insurance.
- Avoid driving violations to reduce rates. In order to get the cheapest auto insurance in Hobbs, it pays off to be a safe driver. As few as two traffic tickets can potentially raise auto insurance rates as much as $602 per year. Being convicted of a major violation like DWI/DUI and reckless driving could raise rates by an additional $2,098 or more.
- If your vehicle is older, remove optional coverages. Deleting comprehensive and collision coverage from older vehicles that are not worth a lot can cheapen the cost to insure considerably.
- Being a good driver saves money. Too many at-fault accidents will increase rates, possibly as much as $1,090 per year for a 30-year-old driver and even $684 per year for a 50-year-old driver. So be a cautious driver and save.
- Remain claim free and save. Insurance companies give a discounted rate for not having any claims. Auto insurance should be used in the case of significant claims, not small claims.
- A good credit rating can save money. Having a high credit score of 800+ could save as much as $354 per year when compared to a decent credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, an imperfect credit score below 579 could cost as much as $410 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
- Raising deductibles makes insurance more affordable. Boosting your physical damage deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $374 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $724 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
- Shop around. There are lots of options for coverage in Hobbs, so don’t settle for the first quote you get. Ideally, drivers get quotes from several captive agencies like State Farm and Allstate, as well as multiple quotes from independent agents which can price your insurance with multiple companies.
