Ten Golden Rules to Save on Auto Insurance
Summary
Auto insurance includes various coverages such as liability, collision, comprehensive, medical, uninsured motorist, rental reimbursement, towing and labor cost, and gap coverage. The necessary coverage varies by state, so it's wise to insure slightly more than the minimum required to protect yourself. Insurance premiums can be high, so informed research is essential.
Golden Rules to Save on Auto Insurance
1. Research State Requirements:
Visit your state's insurance department website for guidelines and sample rates. This will help you understand necessary coverage and expected premiums.
2. Shop Around:
Get quotes from at least three major insurance companies, such as Geico, Amica, State Farm, and Allstate, to compare rates and coverage options.
3. Consider Higher Deductibles:
If you can afford a higher deductible, it could significantly lower your premiums. For example, increasing your deductible from $200 to $500 can reduce premiums by up to 30%.
4. Assess Your Car’s Value:
If your car is valued at less than $2,000, consider dropping collision and comprehensive coverage. Use Kelley Blue Book to determine your car’s market value accurately.
5. Choose Cars Wisely:
Opt for vehicles that don’t attract high insurance premiums. Always consider insurance costs when purchasing a car.
6. Explore Mileage Discounts:
Some insurers offer discounts based on lower usage or mileage. You might get a discount if you use public transport for commuting and can provide proof.
7. Check Your Credit History:
Ensure your insurance credit history is accurate, as many insurers factor this into premium calculations.
8. Leverage Safety Features:
Investigate whether safety features like anti-lock brakes and airbags can further reduce your premiums. Check with your insurer and agent for more details.
9. Utilize Membership Discounts:
Memberships with organizations such as the American Automobile Association may offer discounts. Inquire about other associations, student discounts, retirement discounts, and loyalty programs.
10. Consider Multi-Car Policies:
Ask about multi-car or multiline discounts, which can cover home insurance, safety features, accident-free driving, and more for additional savings.
