5 Ways to Save on Car Insurance in Humphrey

Beginners to buying insurance online will find shopping for low-cost Humphrey car insurance to be a formidable task.

It's important to take a look at other company's rates occasionally since rates are constantly changing. Despite the fact that you may have had the lowest price a few years ago the chances are good that you can find a lower rate today. You'll find quite a bit of inaccurate information about car insurance online but I'm going to show you some great ways to save money.

Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but you can get discounts to cut the cost considerably. A few discounts will automatically apply at the time you complete a quote, but a few must be manually applied prior to getting the savings. If you aren't receiving every discount you qualify for, you're paying more than you need to.

  • College Student - Children who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle can receive lower rates.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount - Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can reduce accidents and will save you 10% or more.
  • 55 and Retired - Mature drivers may be able to get better car insurance rates.
  • Federal Employees - Being employed by or retired from a federal job can save as much as 8% with select insurance companies.
  • Bundle and Save - When you combine your home and auto insurance with one company you may earn up to 20% off your total premium.

As a disclaimer on discounts, 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. Just because you may think it's possible to get free car insurance, car insurance companies aren't that generous. Any amount of discount will reduce the amount you have to pay.

Insurance agents can help

For example, these questions might point out whether your personal situation might need professional guidance.

  • What are Nebraska no-fault laws?
  • Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in Nebraska?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
  • Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in Nebraska?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form. It only takes a few minutes and may give you better protection.

Save $429 a year? Really?

Consumers can't get away from ads for cheaper car insurance by Progressive, GEICO, Allstate and State Farm. They all seem to say the same thing about savings after switching to their company.

How can each company make the same claim? This is how they do it.

All companies have a certain "appetite" for the driver that is profitable for them. For instance, a desirable insured could be between 30 and 50, owns a home, and has a short commute. Any new insured who fits that profile gets the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to save when they switch companies.

Potential customers who don't qualify for the requirements will have to pay a more expensive rate which usually ends up with business going elsewhere. Company advertisements say "drivers who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that much. That is how companies can truthfully make the claims of big savings.

Because of the profiling, drivers must get quotes from several different companies. It's just too difficult to predict which company will fit your personal profile best.

And the best car insurance company is...

As you shop your coverage around, it's a bad idea to reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are many occasions where an insured cut collision coverage and learned later that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. Your aim should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price.

Consumers change insurance companies for any number of reasons including not issuing a premium refund, policy cancellation, denial of a claim or extreme rates for teen drivers. No matter why you want to switch, switching car insurance companies is actually quite simple.

You just learned a lot of information how to compare car insurance prices online. The most important thing to understand is the more times you quote, the higher the chance of saving money. You may be surprised to find that the best prices are with a lesser-known regional company.
