Saving money on auto insurance

Financially savvy drivers in Richmond should always be searching for ways to save money on insurance So run through the savings tips in the list below and it’s very likely you can save a few bucks on your next policy.

  • Driving violations increase insurance rates. If you want the cheapest car insurance in Richmond, it pays to drive within the law. In fact, just one or two minor driving offenses have the ramification of spiking the cost of a policy as much as $516 per year.
  • Keep your claim-free discount. Most auto insurance companies offer a discount for not having any claims. Car insurance should only be used to protect you from large financial hits, not for minor claims.
  • Shop around for better rates. Setting aside a few minutes every year or so to get a few free car insurance quotes could save a pile of cash. Rates change more often that you might think and you can switch anytime.
  • Your choice of occupation could save you a few bucks. The large majority of auto insurance companies offer policy discounts for specific occupations like firefighters, lawyers, dentists, members of the military, doctors, and others. By earning this discount on your policy you could save between $58 and $188 on your car insurance bill, subject to the policy coverages selected.
  • Consider buying higher deductibles. Boosting your physical damage 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.
  • Choose a vehicle that is more affordable to insure. The type of vehicle you drive has a big impact on the price you pay for insurance. For example, a Hyundai Venue costs $590 less per year to insure in Richmond than a Nissan 370Z. Lower performance vehicles cost less to insure.
