3 Warnings Before Switching Auto Insurance Companies
Switching auto insurance companies can be tempting with all the ads promising big savings. However, before making a move, it's essential to consider several factors to ensure you're truly getting a good deal. Here's what to watch out for before making the switch.
Consider Existing Discounts
If you've been with your current insurer for a long time, you might enjoy perks like accident forgiveness or longevity discounts. These benefits can save you hundreds if you have an accident, as they often prevent your rates from increasing?"sometimes by as much as 40% over three years. Switching companies might mean losing these valuable incentives, so check if your potential new insurer offers similar benefits.
Beware of Teaser Rates
Be cautious of companies offering a surprisingly low initial rate. Some insurers lure customers with a low rate for the first six months but then raise premiums significantly upon renewal. Ensure the quoted rate is sustainable by researching the company's reputation. Look for reviews and feedback from current customers to gauge the reliability of their pricing.
Avoid Hidden Fees
Hidden fees can quickly eat into any savings you expect from switching. Some insurers charge for monthly payments, usually between $3 and $5. Over a year, this can amount to $36-$60, affecting your overall savings. Carefully compare the total cost of the policy, including any extra charges, to confirm you're actually saving money.
Other Considerations
Also, evaluate the company's accessibility and customer service. Ensure their operating hours align with your schedule so you can reach them when needed. If you prefer managing your policy online, verify that the insurer's website is user-friendly and available 24/7.
By keeping these factors in mind, you can make a more informed decision and ensure that any switch you make truly benefits you.
