    theftWe all want to save money where we can. So we use coupons, gift cards, gift certificates. Buy one, get one free; buy one, get one half off.

    Unfortunately, those kinds of deals are not typically available with car insurance. However, there are still lots of ways to save.

    See the boot in this picture here? That can save you money. Anti theft devices on vehicles can be good for a discount on your car insurance premiums. In fact, certain states offer even more discounts, such as for theft protections like window sketching.

    Multiple car discounts are also a way to save. In other words, sometimes you can pay less by insuring two cars instead of just one.

    It doesn’t hurt to ask.

    insurance-5What’s one reason to stay in school? Well, in this economy, a very good reason is because, if you have more education, you will pay less on car insurance. The higher, the lower.

    And do you know that you might be paying more because of your job? Statistically speaking, some occupations are riskier than others. For instance, an insurance agent who sits behind a desk the whole day will typically pay less than someone who delivers newspapers or flowers out of their personal vehicle.

    Fun fact: married people pay less for car insurance. (Is it worth it, though? Let me rephrase that, in case my fiance is reading: that is totally worth it!)

    If you have devices on your vehicle to protect it from theft, you can pay less.

    If you have moving violations, you are going to be paying out the butt for a long time.

    basics-2Your address can have an affect on your car insurance premiums. If you live in a neighborhood that does not have a lot of traffic, your insurance company will consider you low risk in terms of your likeliness to be in an accident. That makes for a lower premium. Of course, high traffic neighborhoods or those which have a high theft rate make for higher premiums.

    Any driving violations or traffic tickets can drive your premiums up quite a bit.

    The kind of vehicle you drive can safe — or cost — you money as well. A cheaper vehicle costs less to insure, so your premiums will be less expensive.

    If you have been in a lot of accidents and filed claims for them, you may have to pay higher premiums as well — car insurance companies look at things like that.

    Finally, your credit score makes a huge difference as well. The worse your score, the higher your premiums.

    Car insuranceThe next thing that you have to understand about your car insurance rate is that it is not only based on where you live but also who you are.  Your credit score is something that seriously follows you everywhere and if you have a bad credit score, which could result in a high insurance rate.  The reason is because if creditors can not find your trust worthy, why would a car insurance company?  That is exactly how they view it.

    The next thing is your driving record.  While most teenagers do not think about their driving record when they are young, if you want to have a good car insurance premium, you truly need to make sure that you have a really good driving record … otherwise you will not be able to get a really good car insurance premium.

    Finally, your age is something that does affect your car insurance.  Your rate will go down after you are 25, however if you are younger than that, you are still considered a ‘risky’ driver.

    understanding-auto-insurance-understanding-auto-insuranceUnderstanding your car insurance rates is something that is difficult – seriously!  There are a ton of different factors that the car insurance companies look at that you probably have no idea about.  The first thing?  The state that you live in can truly impact the car insurance rate that you are going to get along with the policy that you are going to get.

    For example, Florida is a state that has a lot of different car insurance rates; it all just depends on where you are living.  For example, if you are living in Miami or Fort Lauderdale, you could be spending a heck of a lot more than if you lived in a less-popular place.  The reason for this is that when you live in popular places … you are probably going to be driving more.

    There are a ton of other facts that go into choosing your insurance rate and that is what we are going to explore in the next blog … stay tuned!
