How to find cheaper auto insurance

Roswell drivers should always be searching for ways to reduce the monthly expense for car insurance, so study the tips and ideas in the list below and maybe you’ll be able to save a few bucks when buying auto insurance.

• If your vehicle is older, remove optional coverages. Deleting comprehensive and collision coverage from vehicles whose low value makes coverage cost prohibitive can reduce the cost of auto insurance considerably.
• Buy vehicles with low cost insurance. The performance of the vehicle you drive is one of the biggest factors in the cost of car insurance in Roswell. For example, a Kia Telluride costs $1,482 less per year to insure in Roswell than a Nissan GT-R. Lower performance vehicles cost less to insure.
• Shop your coverage around. Taking the time to get free car insurance quotes can save more money than you might think. Rates change often and you do not even have to wait until your policy renewal date to switch.
• Safe drivers have lower auto insurance rates. Too many at-fault accidents can cost more, as much as $792 per year for a 30-year-old driver and even $494 per year for a 50-year-old driver. So be a careful driver and save!
• Consider buying higher deductibles. Raising 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.
• Raise your credit score for cheaper insurance rates. Drivers with high 800+ credit scores may save $257 per year over a decent credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a subpar credit score could cost around $298 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
• Find cheaper rates by qualifying for discounts. Savings may be available if the insured drivers are good students, are homeowners, are accident-free, are military or federal employees, drive a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, or many other discounts which could save the average Roswell driver as much as $278 per year on auto insurance.
