It's important to compare prices before your policy renews since insurance rates are constantly changing. Even if you think you had the lowest price on your last policy you will most likely find a better rate today. There is a lot of bad advice regarding auto insurance online but I'm going to show you some great ways to put money back in your pocket.
If you currently have a car insurance policy, you should be able to cut costs considerably using these techniques. Choosing the best insurance company for you in Mulvane is not that difficult. Although Kansas vehicle owners do need to know the way insurance companies market insurance on the web because it can help you find the best coverage.
Don't pay full price with these discounts
Companies offering auto insurance don't always advertise all their discounts in a way that's easy to find, so we researched some of the best known and the more hidden ways to save on auto insurance.
- Senior Discount - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may receive better auto insurance rates.
- No Accidents - Claim-free drivers pay much less as compared to drivers who are more careless.
- Drive Less and Save - Low mileage vehicles could be rewarded with better rates on cars that stay parked.
- Drivers Ed for Students - Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to complete a driver education course if offered at their school.
- Pay Now and Pay Less - If paying your policy premium upfront instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.
- Sign Online - A few companies give back up to $50 for buying your policy digitally online.
- Clubs and Organizations - Affiliation with a civic or occupational organization could trigger savings on auto insurance.
A little note about advertised discounts, many deductions do not apply to the entire cost. Some only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. Just because it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, you won't be that lucky.
The auto insurance bait and switch
Auto insurance companies such as Progressive, GEICO, Allstate and State Farm consistently run ads in print and on television. They all seem to make the same claim about savings if you change to their company. How can each company say the same thing?
Insurance companies can use profiling for the driver that earns them a profit. For instance, a desirable insured might be profiled as a mature driver, is a homeowner, and has great credit. A propective insured who matches those parameters will qualify for the lowest rates and therefore will save when they switch companies.
Potential customers who don't measure up to the requirements will have to pay a higher premium which leads to business not being written. The ad wording is "people who switch" not "everyone that quotes" save that much. That's why companies can truthfully advertise the savings. Because of the profiling, you should get a wide range of price quotes. It's not possible to predict the company that will fit your personal profile best.

Final considerations
When you buy insurance online, it's not a good idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are many occasions where an accident victim reduced collision coverage and learned later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible at an affordable rate.
The cheapest auto insurance is attainable on the web and also from your neighborhood Mulvane agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best rate selection. There are still a few companies who may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.
