Free Quotes for Car Insurance in Free Union, Virginia

There are several ways to compare rate quotes from local Free Union car insurance companies. The best method to find the cheapest insurance rates is to use the internet to compare rates. This can be done in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

  • The least efficient way of comparing rate quotes is driving around to different Free Union agent offices. Buying insurance online has reduced the need for local agents unless you require the personal advice only provided by licensed Free Union agents. You can, however, get the lowest quotes online and still use a local agent and we'll cover that in a bit.

Whichever way you use, make darn sure you compare the exact same coverages with each company. If each company quotes different limits and deductibles on each one it's impossible to make an equal comparison in Free Union. Just a small difference in insurance coverages may result in a large different in cost. And when comparison shopping, getting more free quotes will enable you to find lower pricing.

Take advantage of discounts

Auto insurance companies don't always list every discount in an easy-to-find place, so we took the time to find some of the more common as well as the least known car insurance savings.

  • Government Employees - Being employed by or retired from a federal job may qualify you for a discount with a few car insurance companies.
  • 55 and Retired - Mature drivers can possibly qualify for better car insurance rates.
  • No Accidents - Drivers who don't have accidents can save substantially when compared to bad drivers.
  • More Vehicles More Savings - Insuring multiple cars or trucks on the same car insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles prevent accidents and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Select insurance companies reward you with lower rates if you buy auto and life insurance together.

Consumers should know that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Some only apply to individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, companies don't profit that way.
