How to find cheaper Brookings auto insurance

Financially savvy drivers are often looking to save money on insurance, so scan the tips in the list below and maybe you’ll be able to save a little money on your next policy.

  • Choose a vehicle that is more affordable to insure. The performance of the vehicle you drive is a big factor in the cost of car insurance. As an example, a Subaru Impreza costs $2,116 less per year to insure in Brookings than a BMW i8. Choose cheaper models and save money.
  • Consider buying higher deductibles. Increasing your deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $374 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $724 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
  • Tickets and violations can cost a lot. In order to have cheap auto insurance in Brookings, it makes good sense to be a safe driver. As few as two traffic violations have the ramification of spiking insurance cost by up to $614 per year.
  • Research policy discounts to save money. Savings may be available if the policyholders choose electronic billing, drive low annual mileage, are accident-free, are claim-free, insure multiple vehicles on the same policy, or many other policy discounts which could save the average Brookings driver as much as $390 per year.
  • Compare car insurance rates before buying a car. Different vehicle models can have significantly different car insurance premiums, and insurance companies charge widely varying rates. Get multiple insurance quotes before you upgrade you car in order to prevent any surprises when you receive your first bill.
  • Shop around for better prices. Setting aside a few minutes before every renewal to get a few free car insurance quotes is the best recommendation for saving money. Rates change more often that you might think and you can switch anytime.
  • Remove optional coverage on older vehicles. Deleting physical damage coverage from older vehicles that are not worth a lot will reduce the cost of auto insurance significantly.
