Cheaper Car Insurance Buying Tips

Find Cheaper Car Insurance

Trying to find cheap auto insurance can be tough. Being prepared can take much of the hassle out of the process. First order of business is to know what information you need to provide when soliciting quotes. The basic information you need to have available is as follows: your driver’s license number, year, make, model of vehicle, VIN# and the name of your vehicle finance company (if you are still making payments on your car).

Credit Scores and Car Insurance

Also, know your credit score. Insurance companies will not ask for this but they will consider it when making you a quote. People with low scores may pay as much as three times the amount as people with high credit scores. So check out your score and see if there is anything you can do to improve it.

You can check the Yellow Pages for agencies go online or ask friends for recommendations. Most companies have websites and will have you answer a series of questions to get a quote. It is in your best interest to answer the questions honestly – personal or car-related. Try to get at least five to ten quotes. It only takes a few minutes to get one.

Safety Features and Anti Theft Devices For Car Insurance Discounts

Also, if you have any of the following features on your car, include these with your other information. These features qualify you for a discount:

Anti-theft Devices 
Airbags 
Anti-Lock Brakes  
Automatic Seat Belts  
Window Etching 
Multiple Cars 
Multiple Policy

Here are a few other things you can specify when getting insurance quotes to bring the cost of your quote down:

Ask for a yearly policy instead of six-month policy. 

Give the insurance company the least distance or time it takes to reach your job. The quicker you reach your workplace the lower your insurance cost.
