Car Insurance Savings Tips

(NC)—If you're looking for ways to save money on your car insurance, the following useful tips will help.


Drive carefully


Drivers with no accidents, tickets or insurance claims almost always pay less for their auto insurance coverage. With a less than perfect driving record, you can find yourself paying much higher insurance premiums over the years.


Make sure all your cars are on the same policy


Most insurance companies offer a "multi-vehicle discount" for customers who insure more than one car on the same policy.


Insure both your car and home with the same company


Again, this may qualify you for a discount called the "multi-line discount.” Most companies offer this discount as an incentive to get your home insurance business, too.


Ask about other discounts you might be able to get


Additional common discounts include anti-theft, winter tire, age, low mileage, occupational and auto club discounts, all of which could save you money, if they are available and if you qualify.


Increase your deductibles


The higher your deductibles, the lower your insurance premium, so raise them as much as you can. Keep it affordable though, because this amount is how much you'll have to cover if you need to submit a claim.


Get quotes if you have moved, or are moving


Don't assume your current auto insurer will continue to offer you the best rate at your new address. After moving, the best advice is to compare car insurance quotes. It's the only way to know you're still getting the best insurance rate possible.


Don't believe the myths about auto insurance premiums


Auto insurance premiums vary across insurers. In fact, each insurer's car insurance rates are so unique to them that it's likely safe to say that no two are alike.
