Auto Insurance -- Steps To Bigger Discounts

By Chimezirim Odimba

There are a number of ways to pay less on your automobile insurance policy. Nevertheless, some of them might put you at risk. I do NOT generally recommend such ways since they defeat the main purpose of insurance in the first place. So, I'll only show you suggestions that will as well leave you adequately covered in spite of saving you much...

1. You are eligible for a sizeable discount if a child on your policy does not use the vehicle for a protracted time frame because he/she is away at school. Don't miss this if your child is in college. I must stress, however, that some insurance companies don't give this discount.

2. Some vehicles are quite expensive to insure. Therefore, as you check out the exceptional specs of the vehicle you intend to buy, take some time to find out if it costs too much to insure. Two things that will make you pay more for auto insurance are a car's crash rating and theft rate.

Along these lines, cars that generally cost more to maintain also cost more to insure. With a little diligence you can avoid buying a vehicle that will cost you much in higher premiums over time.

3. If you choose to pay your premiums monthly, you'll attract higher rates. Even though this alternative is often less stressful, it costs more for some reasons..

If you do transactions with banks you'll agree with me that each check you process is considered transaction which attracts charges. For twelve checks (that is, your monthly payments) you'll have a total of twelve transactions. You'll then have to pay the sum of 12 transaction fees..

There are also administrative costs to your insurance provider that are due to monthly payments. For instance, it costs insurance companies millions of dollars every year to mail payment notices..

These costs plus a profit margin for this this "value-added service" is added to your premium making it more than a comparable profile that pays annually every year.

4. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is an easy way to lower your car insurance premium. This authorizes your bank to credit your insurer with your premium payments without any intervention from you until you stipulate otherwise. This saves costs by removing the need for payment notices or checks. Your rate is therefore lowered to reflect the cheaper cost of giving you insurance.

5. You will save a lot if you only have between 25-30 minutes. Visit, get and compare auto insurance quotes from several quotes sites. The cheapest offer should be your choice easily.

But, you have to go beyond just the cheapest price to the best price to value ratio. The cheapest may not offer the best price/value for you as a person. - 21392
