Automobile Insurance Quotes in Franklin, NC

Most companies give prices for coverage directly from their websites. Getting online quotes is fairly straightforward as you just type in your coverage preferences into the quote form. When the form is submitted, their system will obtain information on your driving record and credit history and provides a quote.

This makes comparing rates easy, but the work required to visit several different sites and complete many quote forms is repetitive and time-consuming. Unfortunately, it is important to perform this step in order to get a lower rate.

A quicker way to get multiple rate quotes requires only one form that gets price quotes from several companies at one time. It's a real time-saver, requires much less work on your part, and makes quoting online much easier. After sending your information, your coverage is rated and you can select any or none of the quotes returned. If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you can simply submit the application and purchase coverage. This process can be completed in a matter of minutes and you will know how your current rates stack up.

More discounts equal less premium

Companies offering auto insurance don't necessarily list all their discounts very well, so we researched some of the best known and the harder-to-find auto insurance savings.

  • College Student - Children who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle may be able to be covered for less.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can reduce accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Bundle and Save - When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same insurance company you may earn 10% to 20% off each policy.
  • Good Student - A discount for being a good student can save 20 to 25%. Earning this discount can benefit you well after school through age 25.
  • Multiple Vehicles - Having multiple vehicles on the same auto insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
  • New Vehicle Savings - Adding a new car to your policy can be considerably cheaper compared to insuring an older model.
  • Accident Free - Good drivers with no accidents pay much less as compared to bad drivers.
  • Accident Forgiveness - Some insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before raising your premiums as long as you don't have any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Anti-theft System - Anti-theft and alarm systems are stolen less frequently and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Drive Less and Save - Fewer annual miles could be rewarded with lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.

Drivers should understand that most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. Even though it may seem like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies wouldn't make money that way.
