Tips to Save on Auto Insurance

How Can I Save Money on My Auto Insurance?

What steps can you take to keep your auto insurance premium low? We have suggestions on how you can lower the cost of your auto insurance.

Maintain a clean driving record. Safe driving will help you avoid moving violations like speeding and reckless driving as well as keeping our roads safe from distracted or impaired drivers, which reduces the possibility of accidents.

Determine whether your older vehicles need physical damage coverage. It may make sense to minimize or eliminate collision and comprehensive coverages. Keep in mind that the bank will require you to keep these coverages in effect when you have a car loan with them. But once the vehicle is paid off and its value has decreased, you may want to consider if the amount you may receive for a total loss (minus the deductible) is worth the premium, taking into consideration your vehicle’s remaining useful life. As you evaluate this option, be sure to weigh whether any premium savings gained from eliminating these coverages are worth your increased exposure to having to pay for repairing or replacing the car yourself.

Increase deductibles on your collision and/or comprehensive coverages. This is a great way to lower your overall premium but be prepared to pay more of the repair costs yourself if you have an accident.

Insure both your auto and your home with Meemic for overall savings on both premiums.

Drive a reliable car with factory-installed safety features. Not only are features like air bags, anti-lock brakes, and passive security system protecting you and your vehicle better, they also help keep your premiums lower.

Paying your insurance premium in full can result in premium savings for you.
