Low-Budget Car Insurance
To get affordable budget car insurance there are simple things that are to be taken into consideration which are as follows:
- Always check with more than one establishment because there is an approximate difference of $500 between quotes of the most expensive and ordinary insurance company which actually means that you end up paying premium of the same amount if you do not do a proper market research.
- Always consult a non-exclusive agent so that he can give you a deal that is best for you and not the company.
- If you are buying a used vehicle try to avoid taking a collision coverage, specifically a vehicle that has been on road for more than 4 years.
- If you are taking other add-ons like towing, medical, rental coverage, get it on another policy since that would help you to keep things sorted out and also help in availing the multiple insurance discount benefit.
- Always check whether you are liable for discount because of the anti-theft system in your vehicle or being a student with commendable grades or a AAA member or you might be a non-smoker and/or a non-drinker that gives you an edge over others.
- Check if the company gives you any discount for buying two or more policies as most of the companies do provide you a benefit if there is more than one policy or if you have been a long time customer.
- You can also increase your deductible to lower your down the cost of policy but then you should have fiscal strength enough to pay it when the time comes. Doubling the deductible decreases the policy amount by approximately 10%.
- Drive less so that you can avail the low-mileage discount, you can avoid driving for business purposes since work-related driving generates more premium than pleasure driving.
- Since taxes vary from one area to the other (taxes fluctuate with the change in zip code), try and garage your vehicle in an area where there are less chances of the vehicle being vandalized or involved in an accident. One important piece of information is that keep your car in a garage where it's safer.
- Last but not the least is to buy a low profile car since these are less likely targets of theft and vandalism. Moreover SUVs and high performance cars are at high risk of accident since drivers of such vehicles tend to drive faster. Consequently these owners pay higher premium than owners of Sedan or Dodge.
