10 ways to get cheap auto insurance

We all want to save money. And we’d all like to know how to save on car insurance premiums. Here is a quick look at 10 ways you can pay less to a car insurance company now and in the future:

1. Improve your credit score: Credit scores play a factor in your insurance score, which factors into your insurance rates.
2. Look for additional discounts: Your carrier might offer paperless transactions or automatic drafting from your bank account that leads to lower rates.
3. Change your coverage: Deciding on less coverage or lower limits means you’ll pay out less…until an incident takes place.
4. Go multi-policy with your carrier: Most auto insurance companies have a multi-policy discount.
5. Move: Sound harsh? Well, where your vehicle is garaged plays a large role in insurance premiums.
6. Drive better: Sounds simple, but a clean driving record goes a long way. Steer clear from at-fault accidents and other violations.
7. Go old school: Typically, an older model vehicle costs less to insure.
8. Pay in full upfront: Typically, you’ll receive a bigger discount for paying your total premium at one time.
9. Look long-term: Choose an annual term over a six-month term for coverage. The longer your policy term the longer your current rate is locked in. Carriers may adjust your rate on renewal.
10. Consider a Broad Form Named Driver policy: What’s that? In some states, you can insure only yourself in the vehicle you drive. Lots of limitations are at play here, so contact your agent to discuss.

Bonus saving tips

• Shop around: Premiums vary by company. Some companies cost less, some cost more. Get multiple quotes on rates.
• Install an anti-theft device: Not only are you less likely to lose your vehicle due to theft, but some insurance companies also offer a discount for having an anti-theft device on your vehicle.
