How to save on car insurance in Portland
Smart drivers should always be searching for ways to save money on insurance, so study the money-saving tips below and maybe you’ll find a way to save a few bucks the next time your policy renews.
- Policy discounts save money. Discounted rates may be available if the policyholders are homeowners, drive a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, are claim-free, choose electronic billing, or many other discounts which could save the average Portland driver as much as $292 per year.
- Shop around and save. Taking a couple of minutes every year or so to get some free car insurance quotes is our best recommendation for saving money. Rates change quite often and you are not locked into any one company.
- Lower the cost of your policy by increasing deductibles. Boosting your deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $236 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $456 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
- Check your credit score. Having an excellent credit score over 800 may save $271 per year over a credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a less-than-perfect credit history could cost up to $314 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
- Remove unneeded coverage on older vehicles. Deleting comprehensive and collision coverage from older vehicles whose value has decreased can cheapen the cost to insure substantially.
