Car Insurance -- Saving Much On The Right Cover

By Chimezirim Odimba

There are simple actions that will really help you get superior coverage at lower rates. Do you know those things? Here are some...

Your rate is seriously affected by your total mileage. Therefore do all within your power to NOT drive your car whenever there is a good alternative. This is particularly true for those of us who live in cities with standard mass transit systems.

Another great option for those who want to reduce their mileage is carpooling.

A multi-policy discount is a good way to reduce your total insurance spend. All you have to do to qualify for this is to buy your auto policy from the same insurer who is providing, say, your home insurance.

However, care has to be taken because the fact that an insurer offered you great rates for a policy doesn't mean they will for another. Do some research with quotes sites and then discuss with your agent. You'll be sure of the best choice in your case if you do this.

Some lines of duty attract more affordable rates. An attorney attracts more expensive rates than a pilot. Statistics, for instance, shows that scientists (due to their discipline and lifestyle) are better risks than every other profession.

You agent is in a good position to tell you if your line of duty attracts some discounts. Just note that each insurer might have a slightly different position.

Take part in a defensive driving class. 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.

Do you know that some folks are paying much more in auto insurance because of where their homes are? Homes in the same neighborhood may fall under different risk zones as far as your insurer is concerned.

Therefore, take your time to ask your agent what effect your new zip code would have on your rates before you make that down payment. I know: That isn't usually an issue when you're looking for a home but it's really important.

Since you may live in the same home for decades to come, a difference of $200 in auto insurance rates would amount to thousands over the years.

And don't miss this...

You can save much money in auto insurance if you obtain and compare auto insurance quotes from quotes sites. You will realize savings if you use only one of such sites. But keep this in mind, you will get more by visiting at least five.

The simple logic in this is that you will obtain a greater number of auto insurance quotes from a wider range of insurers. This increases your chances of getting better offers.
