Tips for finding cheaper Madison auto insurance

Madison drivers should always be searching for ways to save money on car insurance, so study the tips in this next list and it’s very possible you can save a few bucks on your next policy purchase.

  • Don’t file small claims. Car insurance companies offer discounts if you have not filed any claims. Car insurance should only be used in the case of large financial hits, not for minor claims that can easily be paid out-of-pocket.
  • Auto insurance is cheaper with higher deductibles. Raising your policy 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.
  • Remove unneeded coverage on older vehicles. Removing comprehensive and/or collision coverage from vehicles whose low value makes coverage cost prohibitive can cut the cost of auto insurance considerably.
  • Your occupation could reduce your rates. The large majority of insurance companies offer discounts for working in professions like emergency medical technicians, college professors, scientists, doctors, engineers, high school and elementary teachers, and others. If you qualify, you may save between $60 and $195 on your yearly auto insurance cost, depending on the coverage levels.
  • Cheaper rates come with better credit scores. Having an excellent credit score over 800 could save $315 per year over a rating of 670-739. Conversely, a subpar credit score could cost around $365 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
  • Earn discounts to save money. Discounted rates may be available if the policyholders are homeowners, insure their home and car with the same company, take a defensive driving course, drive a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, or many other discounts which could save the average Madison driver as much as $336 per year on the cost of auto insurance
