Is it possible you have a car that you’ve not used for a long while? Is one of your cars been covered in the garage for up to six months because it’s broken? Are you still paying premiums on such a car because you did NOT remember to remove it from your auto insurance policy?
The painful reality is that more people than you could imagine are paying higher rates than they should because of such negligence. Don’t make this mistake.
You will get discounts with a number of insurance providers if you’re part of an auto club. Don’t let the smallness of the discount this may get you deter you from taking advantage of it if such a club suits you.
Make sure you do NOT give false details when you complete your forms. One of the factors that has kept rates as high as they are is insurance fraud. It’s making everyone pay a lot more.
If you couldn’t care less about the cost to everyone in general, don’t forget that your insurer is free to cancel your policy on the grounds of false representation.
I hope you know that this will invariably make you a higher risk and this means you’ll pay more for your next policy. This is partly because of the added cost you’d bear if your policy lapses (which is what would happen if your insurer cancels your policy).
Reports have it that the average American family pays about $1,500 extra premium dollars because of insurance fraud. You can help reduce this to our collective advantage by being truthful when completing your application form and if you ever have to file a claim.
Stay claims-free for more than three years and most insurers will give you a special discount. Here’s a tip: Even though you might have cause to make a claim, don’t if they are minor issues. So check what it will cost you to fix the problem and what you’ll gain with a No Claims discount and choose whichever will serve your best interest.
As an under twenty five, you can pay lower car insurance rates if you use your parents’ policy. If you are of driving age, then your parents certainly are far above twenty five years which means they are better risk drivers.
To take advantage of this though, you’ll have to live with your parents and also have the vehicle registered in their name. This means that they legally own the vehicle. If the benefits of “independence” outweigh your car insurance savings then this is certainly not an option for you.
And…
You will save a lot if you really have between 25-30 minutes. Visit, receive and compare auto insurance quotes from various quotes sites. The cheapest offer should be what you pick easily.
However, you have to go beyond just the lowest price to the best price to value ratio. The cheapest may not be the best price/value for you as a person.
