Discount Auto Insurance is Possible

By Joseph Welusz

Discount auto insurance is relative to the price you are willing to spend for a specific amount of coverage. You need to understand that buying the lowest policy you might be doing more harm than good to yourself.

People should look more at the coverage's that are available and what is charged for those coverage's. The easiest way to do this is to talk with an agent. They will be able to give you different price break downs at different levels of coverage.

Please be aware that there are two types of agents. There are captive agents that only can provide insurance for there company. A good example of a captive agent is a State Farm agent. The other type of agent is an independent agent. They can provide insurance policies for multiple companies but usually not the same companies that have captive agents.

When talking with the agents make sure to always ask about auto insurance discounts that are available. Most agents work off of commission and it's sad to say but they aren't always going to add on all the discounts for you if you don't ask. After they add on the discounts for you, ask if there are any additional discounts you could receive, just to be sure .

One other way to get cheaper car insurance is to increase your collision deductible. The standard most people have is a $500 deductible but if you increase it to $750 or $1000 you will probably save $100 if not more. Your comprehensive deductible isn't worth changing since it makes up such a small percentage of your policy premium.

You can also save money by comparison shopping between companies. Rates can vary between companies just like they do between coverages. Every company will have there own rating scale, some offer price breaks for having lower limits some for higher limits not to mention the other 200 factors they put into coming up with your rate. Therefor, each company has created there own price niching system that we can all take advantage of.

If you have watched television recently you probably noticed all of the insurance companies telling you how much you can save if you switch to them. This makes it hard to figure out which company has the best rates. They all have good rates for there particular niche. It's your job to find out which niche you fall into this way you can save the most money.

An easy way to compare prices between companies is to get quotes on the web. Just beware some well known companies websites default to the lowest limits available in your state. The quotes look like they are saving you a fortune but they are also really putting you at risk. If you decide to get quotes online make sure that you will be able to discuss your options with an agent before purchasing a policy. This way you can take advantage of the tips in this article. - 21392
