Save big with these discounts

Car insurance companies do not list all available discounts very clearly, so here is a list both well-publicized as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving.

  • Driver Safety - Completing a course in driver safety can save you 5% or more depending on where you live.
  • Good Student - Getting good grades can get you a discount of up to 25%. The discount lasts well after school through age 25.
  • Paperless Signup - Certain companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks just for signing your application over the internet.
  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Fewer annual miles can qualify you for a substantially lower rate.
  • Accident Forgiveness - Certain companies will forgive one accident without raising rates so long as you haven't had any claims prior to the accident.

It's important to note that some credits don't apply to the entire policy premium. Most only apply to individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like you can get free auto insurance, you're out of luck.

Vehicle Insurance Comparison

There are several ways of comparing rate quotes from different Bridport insurance companies. The recommended way to find the lowest rates involves getting comparison quotes online. This can be accomplished using a couple different methods.

One of the best ways to compare a lot of rates at once is to use a rate comparison form like this one (opens in new window). This type of form prevents you from having to do multiple quote forms for every auto insurance company. Just one form gets you price quotes from multiple low-cost companies. Recommended for those who want to invest the least amount of time.

A less efficient way to get quotes online requires visiting the website for every company you want to comare to complete their respective quote request forms. For instance, let's say you want to compare , and . To get rate quotes you would need to go to every website and enter your policy data, which is why the first method is more popular.

The most time-consuming method to get comparison rates is to drive around to local Bridport insurance agencies. Buying insurance online makes this process obsolete unless you require the professional advice of a local Bridport agent. It is possible to compare online quotes and still use a local agent.

Whichever method you choose, be sure to compare identical quote information on every quote you get. If you use mixed coverages it's not possible to determine which rate is truly the best in Bridport. Slightly different limits may cause a big price difference. Keep in mind that obtaining a wide range of quotes helps locate the best offered rates.

But I don't know anything about car insurance

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn't really a one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

These are some specific questions may help highlight if your situation may require specific advice.

  • Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in Vermont?
  • Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
  • Does my personal policy cover me when driving my company car?
  • Is my vehicle covered for flood damage?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?

If you can't answer these questions, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form.

Final considerations

Lower-priced auto insurance can be sourced online and also from your neighborhood Bridport agents, and you should be comparing both to have the best selection. Some insurance companies may not provide online quoting and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

In this article, we presented a lot of ways to get a better price on auto insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more companies you get rates for, the better your comparison will be. You may even find the biggest savings come from the least-expected company.

When buying insurance coverage, never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There are a lot of situations where someone dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The proper strategy is to buy enough coverage at a price you can afford while not skimping on critical coverages.
