How can 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm save drivers who switch?

21st Century, Allstate and State Farm consistently run ads on television and other media. All the companies make the same claim that you'll save big if you change your coverage to them. How do they all say the same thing? This is how they do it.

Insurance companies are able to cherry pick for the type of customer that earns them a profit. For instance, a profitable customer might be profiled as between the ages of 30 and 50, has no tickets, and has a short commute. A propective insured who matches those parameters will get the preferred rates and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.

Potential customers who are not a match for the "perfect" profile must pay higher prices which leads to business not being written. The ads state "drivers who switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much money. That's the way companies can make the claims of big savings. This illustrates why you should compare many company's rates. It's not possible to predict which auto insurance company will fit your personal profile best.

Do the work, save more money

Budget-conscious auto insurance is attainable on the web as well as from independent agents in Henderson, and you should compare price quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance providers don't offer you the ability to get quotes online and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you shop your coverage around, you should never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are a lot of situations where an insured dropped collision coverage and learned later that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. The proper strategy is to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price while not skimping on critical coverages.
