Saving Money On Auto Insurance

1
Now that I have experience driving as a safe
driver I must admit I do enjoy the fact that I
have a lower premium when it comes to my auto
insurance.
2
I do remember when it was much higher, but then
again that was when I was just a teenager.
3
However, I also became aware of some useful tips
to saving money on auto insurance that every
driver should know regardless of age.
4
The first tip to saving money on your insurance
policy is to drive less.
5
When an insurance carrier is determining your
premium they consider the fact that driving more
equals a higher chance of you getting into an
accident.
6
The next tip is to drive safer.
7
Driving defensively and/or taking a defensive
driving course can save drivers on policy
premiums when they are shopping for the best
policy.
8
Some ways to drive safer include driving less at
night time or when road conditions arent ideal.
9
Another way to save money on your policy may be
to combine policies that you already have with
your carrier.
10
Most carriers will offer insurers a discount if
they have multiple policies or multiple vehicles
on a policy.
11
The next tip should be considered before you even
buy a vehicle.
12
When considering the costs of insurance think of
the kind of vehicle that you want to buy.
13
Premiums on a 4-door vehicle typically are
cheaper than the sports car that you may be
eyeing.
14
Other than just the vehicles risk the cost of the
vehicle will also be taken into consideration.
15
Again, the sedan is usually less expensive than
the Corvette, and so a lower premium will be
needed to cover the car.
16
Lets talk about coverage options on an auto
insurance policy.
17
Drivers should always consider the age of their
vehicle and how much they value it.
18
For example a driver will usually want more
coverage on a new vehicle, but may only want
liability on an older vehicle.
19
This can make a difference in premium costs.
20
There is also the deductible to consider.
21
Drivers must consider what they are comfortable
paying if they need to use their coverage.
22
If drivers are more financially comfortable
paying a higher deductible then they can save
money on their insurance premium.
23
The final tip that I will discuss for saving
money on auto insurance is to pit insurance
companies against each other.
24
By comparing multiple insurance agencies a
drivers options remain open.
