Are you serious about slashing your costs by reducing your premium dollars? If so, your search stops here as this article will reveal adjustments you need to make and point you to all the resources you need to pay far less. I'll reveal several guaranteed tips that will make the difference. And this will be without reducing the quality of coverage you enjoy. Here they are...
There are many anti-theft or theft-deterrent devices like alarm systems, automatic gas cut-off system and so on. The risk of theft is an important factor that goes a long way to determine your rate. And since these reduce such a risk, you'll attract a good discount for them. Cars without such devices are easy targets for thieving rats.
Defensive driving helps so get trained in it. In addition to making you a better driver, it will get you a discount with your insurer provided such a class is recognized by them.
Policyholders who do NOT make claims for up more than 3 years get a No Claims bonus. Here's a tip: Even though you might have cause to make a claim, don't if they are minor issues. Therefore, if it's a minor case, handle it on your own. What you'll gain from a No Claims discount will certainly outweigh it.
Make sure your auto insurance policy is never allowed to lapse no matter what..It will sentence you to expensive rates for a long time. This happens to some folks while they are about switching to another insurance company.
A simple way to ensure you do NOT make this costly mistake is to maintain your old policy until you're sure the new policy is in full force. As simple as this may seem, many people are bearing the weight of exorbitant rates because of this silly little oversight.
If you want to keep your rates down, do NOT "pimp your ride." Things like changing your tires to bigger ones than specified by the manufacturer, adding equipment that will increase your car's horse-power will cost you a lot more.
If you have collision and/or comprehensive for an old car which is not a classic, then you're paying much more than you should. Your car's Kelly Blue Book value at the time of a claim (and not the value of the car when you bought it) is what determines what you'll get from your insurer. So even if you've paid your premiums faithfully for years but the Kelly Blue Book value says your car is worth nothing, you'll get nothing from your insurer and they'll be totally covered by the law.
So do yourself a favor and remove this coverage types from your policy for all old cars. If you do this you'll pay a lot less.
You will save a lot if you can shop around and do thorough comparison. The range of quotes presented per query could be as wide as $1,000 for a given person. Although this is a good thing, it's advisable that you don't get carried away. It's not usually that easy if you're after the best price/value.
The lowest quote may not offer you the best price/value. Despite the fact that each of the quotes returned will certainly give you the same main coverage, there could be several differences in the details of each insurer's coverage. This makes it important that you find out if there aren't any exclusions you won't like.
Remember to treat these no-obligation quotes as their name implies. Don't feel obliged to pay unless you've got all your questions answered to your satisfaction. You will never get rude surprises down the road if you do this.
