Good Decisions Result in Lower Rates

An important part of buying insurance is that you know some of the elements that help determine the rates you pay for car insurance. Understanding what influences your rates enables informed choices that will entitle you to lower car insurance prices.

The following are some of the factors car insurance companies consider when setting prices.

An active claims history can cost you - If you file claims often, you can expect either a policy non-renewal or much higher rates. Companies in Texas provide better rates to drivers who are claim-free. Auto insurance is intended for the bigger claims that can't be paid out-of-pocket.
Where you live - Residing in a rural area can save you money when talking about car insurance. Fewer people translates into fewer accidents and also fewer theft and vandalism claims. City drivers have traffic congestion and longer commutes to work. More time commuting can result in more accidents.
Where do you drive? - Driving more miles in a year's time the higher your rate. Most insurance companies charge to insure your cars based on their usage. Vehicles left parked in the garage can get a lower rate than vehicles that are driven to work every day. Make sure your car insurance coverage is showing the proper vehicle usage, because it can save money.
Don't buy coverages you don't need - There are a ton of add-on coverages that can waste your money when buying car insurance. Coverages like rental car reimbursement, accident forgiveness and term life insurance are examples of these. These coverages may sound good initially, but if they're wasting money get rid of them and save.
Mature drivers pay less - More mature drivers are more cautious drivers, tend to file fewer claims and get fewer tickets. Youthful drivers are known to be less responsible when driving therefore car insurance rates are much higher.

Different people need different coverages

When choosing proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no perfect coverage plan. Every situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won't apply. For instance, these questions can help discover whether you would benefit from an agent's advice.

Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?
When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
Should I rate my vehicle as pleasure use or commute?
Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver in Grapeland?
Does my personal policy cover me when driving my company car?
Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don't have a local agent, complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Are you falling for claims of savings?

Car insurance providers like Progressive, Allstate and GEICO continually stream ads on television and other media. They all say the same thing that you can save after switching to their company. How do they all claim to save you money? It's all in the numbers.

All companies have a preferred profile for the driver that is profitable for them. An example of a driver they prefer might be between 25 and 40, has no prior claims, and drives less than 7,500 miles a year. Any driver who fits that profile gets the lowest rates and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.

Potential customers who are not a match for the "perfect" profile will be quoted a more expensive rate which usually ends up with the customer not buying. The ads say "customers who switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much. This is how insurance companies can advertise the way they do.

This emphasizes why drivers must get a wide range of price quotes. You cannot predict which insurance companies will provide you with the cheapest rates.

Do the work, save more money

When shopping online for car insurance, you should never reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are too many instances where consumers will sacrifice comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your strategy should be to purchase plenty of coverage at the best price while still protecting your assets.

Affordable car insurance can be purchased both online and also from your neighborhood Grapeland agents, so you should compare both to have the best rate selection. Some car insurance companies may not provide the ability to get a quote online and these smaller companies work with independent agents.
