You’ll easily pay less for appropriate coverage if you get and use the right tips. It’s also important that I stress that there are steps that might put you at risk even if they help you make savings for now. Here are some sure ways to pay far less without putting yourself at risk…

1. We all know that no age bracket pays as much for auto insurance as the under-25 age group. If you fall into this age bracket you can attract more affordable rates if you maintain good grades at school.

To enjoy this, however, you must have a minimum of a “B” grade. This will shave off up to five percent from your rate if you make yourself eligible. Reckless under-25 drivers are not likely to maintain good grades.

2. If your auto insurance rate is $3,500 and you get a five percent discount when you maintain a policy with them for about 5 years you will pay $3,500 – (5% of $3,500 or $175) = $3,325.

However, because of inflation, insurers may have to make adjustments in their rates to contain such changes. But while you are at it, some other insurer could be ready to offer a rate of $2,500 or less within that period. If this is true about you then you know it’s wise for you to go for the better offer immediately and not wait for years to become entitled to a discount that will not even save you as much.

Moreover, in most cases, most people can actually pay a lot less than they are presently on auto insurance if they do thorough shopping. You can only know if it is true for your profile if you get and evaluate quotes from a good number of auto insurance carriers to see where your interest is better served.

3. Drive carefully if you’re really keen on enjoying cheaper car insurance rates. You’ll be making a wise decision to stay away from the wheels if you take alcohol.

Driving while drunk, howbeit slightly, will make you pay very expensive rates if you’re fortunate or be forced to be without car insurance if you’re not so lucky. And don’t ignore little things like speeding tickets because they cost you a lot more than the fine you pay. They add up to raise your rate. You’ll be helping yourself by obeying all traffic laws at all times.

4. You might be missing some concessions you are eligible for with your current insurance provider just because you do not know. Your agent may, by commission or omission, not tell you about some discounts that you are eligible for. You will lower the probability of this happening to you if you make it a point of duty to ask your agent seriously to tell you of every discount that is possible. You might get a very pleasant surprise!

5. For no reason should you let your policy lapse. Individuals who let that happen to them attract only more expensive rates for a long time. This happens to many folks when they are about switching to another insurance company.

One way to be certain you do NOT make this type of mistake is to let your old policy keep running until you’ve confirmed that the new policy is in full force. As simple as this may seem, a lot of folks are bearing the weight of exorbitant rates because of this silly little oversight.

6. While you do these other things to cut down your auto insurance premium, here’s something you can do to receive lower rates now. Visit good quotes sites and request for quotes.

Visit not less than five of such sites for the best results. It’s free, quick and easy. Please make certain you give your correct details as you fill the questionnaires on each site. Thereafter, simply choose the insurer that gives you the best price/value from the quotes you’ve obtained.

Where can I get the cheapest car insurance quotes in Arizona? I tried the internet, entered my ZIP code and then heard nothing. I thought I’d quickly have a long list of quotes. What’s going on?

Thanks

Hi Sandra,

It sounds as though you may have entered your details in a website that collects your details and then passes them on to insurers for a fee (they have to earn a living somehow). This process doesn’t always happen instantly so that could explain your delay. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly get contacted by numerous insurers and agents a few days later.

The best way to get the cheapest car insurance quotes in Arizona is to use both the internet and listen out for local TV and radio advertisements. When you use the internet you should be aware of the different types of websites you will find: brokers, insurers, and others. Let’s look at each one.

Normally brokers provide a more personalized service. They take your details and then find a selection of quotes from different insurers. They do have to make a living so they do charge a commission (not always transparent to the customer). However, quite often the discounts they get and the customer service they provide make this option worthwhile.

If you go direct to the insurer you may get a cheaper quote but you may have to contact five or more of them before you find the best quote. Also you will have to go through your details with each insurer. This can take some time.

The other type of website you may find is where they take your details and then pass then on to either insurers (direct) or brokers. They make their money from effectively selling your details onto the insurer or broker. This could be the type of website you used, hence your delay in hearing anything. In today’s economic climate, if you contact an insurer or broker they should be contacting you immediately before they lose the sale.
