Saving Money on Car Insurance Coverage

Wednesday, August 27, 2014 by Lolli 1 Comment

 

As a mother with a college-aged daughter who is also a driver, along with a 10th grade daughter who will be learning to drive in the next year, saving money on car insurance is a big deal. This is a sponsored post guest post. Thoughts expressed within the post align with my own.

Managing personal finances can be challenging during touchy economic times such as recessions. Consumers are always seeking ways to reduce fixed expenses such as automobile insurance. Consumers can shop around for insurance coverage in order to get different quotes and compare them side by side. Some automobile insurance companies offer discounts on bundle packages that combine homeowner’s and renter’s insurance.

Drivers can take matters into their own hands to save on monthly premiums. For example, a safe driving record can come with some perks and benefits such as a 10 percent discount on annual insurance costs. Similarly, drivers with a bad driving history can attend special classes and seminars that could reduce some of the penalty fees associated with traffic violations that are officially recorded by departments of motor vehicles.

Consumers should also ask about any special discounts based on safety features in brand new vehicles. For example, anti-lock brakes and traction control systems are considered to be safety highlights that reduce the risk of a vehicle getting into an accident. Many modern cars also come with rearview cameras and digital sensors that prevent collisions by alerting drivers ahead of time. Even simple features such as daytime running lights can be used to reduce payment for auto insurance.

When leasing a vehicle, drivers are often required to purchase protection plans that are not mandatory. However, consumers who finance a new car with a loan are not required to buy any insurance policies except the required coverage such as liability and bodily injury. Before buying an insurance plan for a car, it’s a good idea for consumers to talk to an agent about all of the different options available. When introducing a young driver to an insurance policy, some companies might offer discounts in order to stabilize the significant spike in monthly premiums right away. For instance, some Washington DC car insurance policies offer good student discounts that cut monthly costs for teenagers who earn good grades in school.

Another great way to get discounts on auto insurance is to pay premiums ahead of time. Consumers have the chance to cover an entire year’s expenses on automobile insurance and receive significant discounts. Singing up for electronic statements and using automatic recurring payments could also come with some discounts on the total premiums for automobile insurance.
