Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
Should I rate my vehicle as pleasure use or commute?
Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?

How can Progressive, Allstate and GEICO save drivers who switch?

Consumers in Kansas can't get away from ads for cheaper car insurance from the likes of Progressive, Allstate and GEICO. They all have a common claim about savings after switching your coverage to them.

How do they all claim to save you money? It's all in the numbers.

Insurance companies have a certain "appetite" for the type of customer that is profitable for them. A good example of a driver they prefer might be over the age of 40, owns a home, and has excellent credit. Any new insured that hits that "sweet spot" is entitled to the best price and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.

Consumers who are not a match for the "perfect" profile will be quoted higher prices and this can result in the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "customers who switch" not "everybody who quotes" save that much money. That is how companies can truthfully make those claims. This emphasizes why drivers must get quotes from several different companies. It's just too difficult to predict which company will have the lowest rates.

A tidy conclusion

While you're price shopping online, never reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are too many instances where an insured cut collision coverage and discovered at claim time they didn't purchase enough coverage. Your strategy should be to buy enough coverage at the best price while still protecting your assets.

Cheaper car insurance can be sourced both online as well as from independent agents in Inman, and you need to comparison shop both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies don't offer the ability to get a quote online and these small insurance companies work with independent agents.
