Hey there, Billy. You want a sure-fire way to get cheaper auto insurance rates? Well, you can try walking. Just kidding. No, seriously, you should try walking. I’ll explain in a while, but there’s really a number of ways to skin the auto insurance cat.

Lowering your auto insurance premiums will depend on whether you are just starting out with a new car or you are renewing your auto insurance with the same company you currently have. If you are starting out with a new car, there is no substitute for shopping around. You can definitely hunt for lower auto insurance rates online. Let’s say you’re adding up another car, you can use that as a bargaining chip with your current auto insurance provider. Safe driving is another way to get lower rates. If you can check your records with the Department of Motor Vehicles, you can spot your driving offenses. If your record is clean, you can use that with your auto insurance company to get a discount. Of course, if your offenses are less, the more the auto insurance company can bet on you. Now, in case you are renewing already, use that to your advantage. Your auto insurance company should recognize that and reward you with a loyalty discount.

I did say walking, remember? Well, you can get a discount from the auto insurance company by agreeing to a limit on the miles you do on your car. Either you keep it low by taking public transportation more often or you can try walking more. Get it?
