Buy Cheap Newburgh Car Insurance

Expensive car insurance can empty your checking account and put a big crunch on your finances. Shopping your coverage around is free and is an excellent way to help make ends meet.

You have so many to buy insurance from, and though it is a good thing to have multiple companies, lots of choices makes it harder to compare rates.

More discounts equal less premium

Companies offering auto insurance don't list every discount very clearly, so we researched both the well known as well as the least known ways to save on car insurance.

  • Government Employees - Active or retired federal employment can save as much as 8% with a few car insurance companies.
  • Distant Student - Any of your kids who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle may be able to be covered for less.
  • Paperwork-free - Certain companies may give you up to $50 just for signing your application over the internet.
  • Senior Citizens - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may be able to get a discount up to 10%.
  • No Claims - Drivers who don't have accidents pay much less when compared to drivers who are more careless.

It's important to note that most discount credits are not given to the overall cost of the policy. A few only apply to individual premiums such as comp or med pay. Just because it seems like you can get free auto insurance, you're out of luck.

It's not one size fits all

When it comes to buying the best car insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn't really a perfect coverage plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine if you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
  • Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver in Newburgh?
  • Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?
  • Am I getting all the discounts available?

If it's difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Switch companies and save? Really?

Car insurance providers like Progressive, Allstate and GEICO continually stream ads in print and on television. They all make the same claim that you can save after switching your policy. How does each company claim to save you money?

All companies have a preferred profile for the right customer that earns them a profit. For instance, a driver they prefer might be a mature driver, insures multiple vehicles, and has great credit. Any driver who matches those parameters receives the best rates and therefore will save when switching.

Potential customers who do not match these standards will be quoted a more expensive rate which leads to the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "customers that switch" not "everyone that quotes" save that kind of money. This is how insurance companies can advertise the savings. This emphasizes why you should get as many quotes as possible. You cannot predict which insurance companies will fit your personal profile best.

Shop smart and save

When you buy insurance online, never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are too many instances where drivers have reduced liability coverage limits only to discover later that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your strategy should be to buy enough coverage at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.

Lower-priced car insurance can be sourced both online in addition to many Newburgh insurance agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best rate selection. There are still a few companies who do not provide you the ability to get quotes online and these small, regional companies work with independent agents.
