Tips for finding cheap Pawtucket car insurance quotes

Financially savvy drivers in Pawtucket are often looking to pay less for auto insurance, so scan the tips in the list below and maybe you’ll find a way to save a few bucks on your next policy purchase.

• Compare rates before you buy the car. Different cars, and even different trim levels of the same car, can have very different insurance premiums, and insurance companies charge widely varying rates. Check rates before you buy a different car in order to avoid price shock when you get your insurance bill.
• Your occupation could lower your rates. Just about all car insurance companies offer policy discounts for certain occupations like doctors, nurses, lawyers, firefighters, police officers and law enforcement, and others. If you can earn this discount, you could potentially save between $100 and $325 on your yearly car insurance bill, subject to policy limits.
• Fewer accidents means cheaper auto insurance. Multiple at-fault accidents raise rates, to the tune of $1,616 per year for a 30-year-old driver and even as much as $1,010 per year for a 50-year-old driver. So drive safe and save money!
• Improve your credit rating to save on insurance. Having an excellent credit score over 800 could save up to $525 per year over a credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a mediocre credit rating could cost as much as $609 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
• Tickets and violations cost money. To get cheap auto insurance in Pawtucket, it’s necessary to avoid traffic citations. Not surprisingly, just one or two minor traffic citations could result in raising rates by up to $890 per year.
