How to save on car insurance in Las Cruces

Drivers are always searching for ways to save money on insurance, so study the savings concepts below and see if you can save some money when buying car insurance.

  • Shop around for a better deal. Take a couple of minutes to get free car insurance quotes is our best recommendation for saving the most money. Rates change more often that you might think and you do not have to wait for your renewal to change companies.
  • Obey the law to get lower rates. If you want to get the cheapest auto insurance in Las Cruces, it’s necessary to be a good, safe driver. Just a couple of traffic citations could end up increasing policy cost as much as $560 per year. Major misdemeanors such as hit-and-run could raise rates by an additional $1,962 or more.
  • Remove unneeded coverage on older cars. Removing comprehensive and/or collision coverage from vehicles that are older can reduce the cost of car insurance significantly.
  • Compare auto insurance rates before buying a car. Different vehicles have very different car insurance rates, and auto insurance companies can sell policies with widely varying rates. Get quotes to compare the cost of insurance before you purchase in order to prevent price shock when you see your first insurance bill.
  • Choose vehicles that have low cost insurance. Vehicle type has a big impact on the cost of car insurance in Las Cruces. For example, a Honda CR-V costs $1,230 less per year to insure in Las Cruces than a Porsche 911. Less performance means less cost.
  • Stay claim free. Auto insurance companies reduce rates a little if you have not filed any claims. Auto insurance should only be used to protect you from larger claims, not small claims that can be paid out-of-pocket.
  • Fewer accidents means cheaper auto insurance rates. Multiple at-fault accidents raise rates, possibly by an additional $3,016 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even $880 per year for a 40-year-old driver. So drive safe and save money!
