Forget anything you know (or think you know) about auto insurance because we're going to demonstrate the quickest way to eliminate unnecessary coverages and save money.

Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

Companies don't necessarily list all their discounts very clearly, so we took the time to find both the well known and also the lesser-known discounts you could be receiving.

Sign Online - A handful of insurance companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy over the internet.
Senior Citizens - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may receive a discount up to 10%.
Multiple Cars - Buying insurance for all your vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
Life Insurance Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give a discount if you purchase auto and life insurance together.

A little note about advertised discounts, some credits don't apply to the overall cost of the policy. A few only apply to specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. So even though it sounds like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won't be that lucky.

Learn How to Buy Auto Insurance Cheaper

Smart consumers have a good feel for the factors that play a part in calculating the rates you pay for auto insurance. Knowing what impacts premium levels helps enable you to make changes that may reward you with big savings.

Shown below are a few of the "ingredients" that factor into rates.

Having a spouse can save you money - Having a spouse helps lower the price on auto insurance. It usually means you are more responsible and statistics show married drivers get in fewer accidents.
Older drivers pay less - Youthful drivers in Oklahoma have a tendency to be more careless when driving so they pay higher auto insurance rates. If you've ever had to add a youthful driver onto your auto insurance can be quite pricey. More mature drivers are viewed as being more responsible, file fewer claims and are safer drivers.
Increase deductibles and save - Coverage for physical damage, 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 would be collision with another vehicle, vandalism, or theft. The deductibles are how much you are willing to pay out-of-pocket if you file a covered claim. The higher the amount the insured has to pay upfront, the bigger discount you will receive.
Where do you drive? - The higher the mileage driven in a year's time the more you will pay for auto insurance. The majority of insurers charge to insure your cars based upon how you use the vehicle. Cars not used for work or commuting qualify for better rates compared to those used for work or business. Ask your agent if your auto insurance declarations sheet shows the correct usage for each vehicle.
More claims means more premium - If you frequently file small claims, you can expect higher rates. Car insurance companies in Oklahoma generally give lower rates to insureds who do not rely on their insurance for small claims. Insurance coverage is intended for the bigger claims that can't be paid out-of-pocket.

Save $429 a year? Really?

Auto insurance companies such as State Farm, GEICO and Progressive consistently run television and radio advertisements. They all seem to have a common claim about savings if you change your policy. How does each company claim to save you money? It's all in the numbers.

All the different companies have a preferred profile for the right customer that earns them a profit. For example, a desirable insured might be a mature driver, insures multiple vehicles, and drives newer vehicles. A customer getting a price quote that hits that "sweet spot" receives the best rates and is almost guaranteed to save when switching.

Consumers who don't qualify for these standards will have to pay higher rates and this can result in the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "customers who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that kind of money. This is how companies can truthfully claim big savings. Because of the profiling, drivers should compare many company's rates. It's impossible to know which insurance companies will give you the biggest savings.
