                How to find cheaper auto insurance

                Resourceful drivers should always be thinking of ways to pay less for insurance So browse the money-saving ideas below and it’s very likely you can save a few bucks when buying auto insurance.

                • No accidents means better Columbus auto insurance rates. At-fault accidents raise insurance rates, to the tune of $1,832 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even $398 per year for a 60-year-old driver. So be a cautious driver and save.
                • Improve your credit to save money. Having a high credit score of 800+ could save $205 per year compared to a credit rating between 670-739. Conversely, a less-than-perfect credit score could cost as much as $238 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
                • Compare rates before buying a car. Different vehicles, and even different trims of the same vehicle, can have significantly different car insurance rates, and insurance companies can price policies with very different rates. Get comparison quotes before you upgrade you car to prevent price shock when buying insurance.
                • Remain claim free. Insurance companies offer discounts if you have not filed any claims. Car insurance should be used in the case of large financial hits, not nickel-and-dime type claims.
                • Save money by raising deductibles. Jacking up your deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $276 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $538 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
                • Reduce coverage on older cars. Deleting physical damage coverage from vehicles whose value does not support the cost of the coverage can cut the cost of car insurance substantially.
