There is too much inaccurate information about auto insurance online but we're going to give you some great ways to put money back in your pocket.

This information will teach you the most effective way to quote insurance. If you currently have a car insurance policy, you should be able to reduce your rates substantially using these methods. South Dakota consumers only need to know the proper way to get comparison rates online.

Save big with these discounts

Car insurance is not cheap, buy you may qualify for discounts that many people don't even know exist. Some trigger automatically when you quote, but some may not be applied and must be asked about before you get the savings. If you're not getting every credit you deserve, you are throwing money away.

Braking Control Discount - Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes are safer to drive and earn discounts up to 10%.
Multi-policy Discount - If you have multiple policies with the same company you could get a discount of at least 10% off all policies.
Save over 55 - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may qualify for a discount up to 10%.
Payment Discounts - If paying your policy premium upfront instead of monthly or quarterly installments you could save 5% or more.
Theft Prevention Discount - Vehicles equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
E-sign - A few companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks for buying your policy over the internet.
Clubs and Organizations - Participating in a qualifying organization could trigger savings on your policy.

A little note about advertised discounts, most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. Just because you may think all the discounts add up to a free policy, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will bring down your overall premium however.

Auto insurance ads bend the truth

South Dakota consumers get pounded daily by advertisements for car insurance savings from companies such as Allstate and Progressive. All the ads make the same claim about savings if you switch your policy.

How does each company make almost identical claims? It's all in the numbers.

Insurance companies have a preferred profile for the right customer that earns them a profit. A good example of a preferred risk could possibly be between 25 and 40, has no prior claims, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. A customer getting a price quote who matches those parameters is entitled to the best price and most likely will save when switching.

Drivers who fall outside these standards will be charged a higher premium which leads to the driver buying from a lower-cost company. The ads state "customers who switch" not "people who quote" save that kind of money. This is how companies can truthfully advertise the way they do.

That is why you should compare many company's rates. It's impossible to know which insurance companies will provide you with the cheapest rates.

And the best car insurance company is...

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it's very important that you do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. Too many times, consumers will sacrifice full coverage and found out when filing a claim that the savings was not a smart move. The aim is to buy a smart amount of coverage at the best price, not the least amount of coverage.

The cheapest auto insurance can be found online in addition to many Isabel insurance agents, so you should compare both to have the best selection. Some auto insurance companies do not provide you the ability to get quotes online and many times these small insurance companies only sell through independent insurance agents.

Insureds switch companies for a variety of reasons including policy cancellation, policy non-renewal, not issuing a premium refund and even unfair underwriting practices. Whatever your reason, finding a new auto insurance company is less work than it seems.
