Learn How to Buy Auto Insurance Cheaper

It's important that you understand some of the elements that go into determining the price you pay for auto insurance. Knowing what impacts premium levels helps enable you to make changes that could result in big savings.

Listed below are a partial list of the pieces that factor into premiums.

Increase deductibles and save - Your deductibles represent how much money you are willing to pay if you file a covered claim. Physical damage insurance, commonly called comprehensive (or other-than-collision) and collision coverage, is used to repair damage to your car. Some examples of claims that would be covered could be colliding with a building, collision with an animal, and burglary. The more the insured has to pay upfront, the bigger discount you will receive.
Older drivers save more - Teen drivers in New York are statistically proven to get distracted easily when driving so they pay higher auto insurance rates. If you've ever had to add a teen driver onto your auto insurance can be quite pricey. More mature drivers are more responsible, file fewer claims and are safer drivers.
Do you qualify for a multi-policy discount? - Most companies will award you with lower prices to customers who have multiple policies with them in the form of a multi-policy discount. Even if you're getting this discount it's still a good idea to shop around to confirm you are receiving the best rates possible.
Marriage pays dividends - Having a wife or husband can actually save you money when buying auto insurance. Having a spouse usually means you are more responsible and statistics show married drivers get in fewer accidents.
Safer occupants lowers premiums - Vehicles with good safety scores are cheaper to insure. Safe vehicles have better occupant injury protection and lower injury rates translates into savings for insurance companies and thus lower rates.

Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, buy you may qualify for discounts that many people don't even know exist. Certain discounts will be applied at the time you complete a quote, but less common discounts must be requested specifically prior to getting the savings. If you're not getting every credit you deserve, you're just leaving money on the table.

Multi-car Discount - Buying insurance for more than one vehicle on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
Student in College - Children who are attending college and do not have a car can receive lower rates.
Theft Prevention System - Anti-theft and alarm systems prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
Paperless Signup - A handful of insurance companies will discount your bill up to fifty bucks for buying your policy over the internet.
Fewer Miles Equal More Savings - Driving fewer miles could be rewarded with lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
Payment Discounts - If you pay your bill all at once rather than paying monthly you could save 5% or more.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. A few only apply to specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So when the math indicates having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will bring down the amount you have to pay.

For example, these questions may help you determine whether your personal situation might need an agent's assistance.

What are New York no-fault laws?
Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
Does my personal policy cover me when driving my company car?

What can I do if my company won't pay a claim?
Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?

A tidy conclusion

Cheaper auto insurance can be found online in addition to many Mt Sinai insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance companies do not provide online quoting and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

As you restructure your insurance plan, never reduce needed coverages to save money. In too many instances, drivers have reduced liability coverage limits only to discover later that they should have had better coverage. Your focus should be to buy enough coverage at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.

Consumers switch companies for a variety of reasons including lack of trust in their agent, not issuing a premium refund, policy cancellation and an unsatisfactory settlement offer. No matter why you want to switch, finding a new auto insurance company is not as hard as you think.
